provisions relating to solid waste management may be found in chapter 62-701,
F.A.C., including statements of intent, definitions, prohibitions, general
permitting requirements, alternate procedures, and forms. Except where the
context indicates otherwise, these general provisions apply to this
chapter.
(2) Waste tire processing
facilities shall obtain a permit and shall meet the requirements for waste tire
processing facilities in rule
62-711.530, F.A.C.
(3) Waste tire collection centers which are
not exempt form permitting under subsection
62-711.300(9),
F.A.C., shall obtain a permit and shall meet the requirements for waste tire
collection centers in rule
62-711.550, F.A.C.
(4) Waste tire collectors shall register with
the Department and shall meet the requirements for waste tire collectors in
rule
62-711.520, F.A.C.
(5) In lieu of obtaining a separate waste
tire processing facility permit or collection center permit, solid waste
management facilities may submit existing permits for modification to authorize
the storage and processing of waste tires if they maintain a waste tire site
and process the waste tires for recycling or disposal. Conditions of
certification for facilities certified before February 19, 1989, pursuant to
chapter 403, part II, F.S., shall be automatically modified pursuant to the
provisions of section
403.511(5)(a),
F.S. No permit fee shall be required.
(6) Waste tire sites which are not an
integral part of a waste tire processing facility shall be closed in compliance
with rule
62-711.700, F.A.C.
(7) All permits issued under this rule,
except for general permits pursuant to rule
62-711.801, F.A.C., must include
an approved closing plan which meets the requirements of rule
62-711.700, F.A.C.
(8) All permit applications shall be
accompanied by the appropriate permit fee, as specified in this chapter or in
rule
62-4.050, F.A.C.
(9) A permit is not required under this
chapter for tire storage at:
(a) A tire
retreading business, unless 1, 500 or more waste tires are stored on the
business premises;
(b) A single
facility that, in the ordinary course of business, removes tires from motor
vehicles, unless 1, 500 or more waste tires are stored on the business
premises, or
(c) A retail
tire-selling business which is serving as a waste tire collection center,
unless 1, 500 or more waste tires are stored on the business
premises.
(10) Facilities
which receive and consume processed tires for use as a fuel source or raw
material shall not be required to obtain a waste tire processing facility
permit for storage of this material, provided the following specifications and
conditions are met:
(a) The processed tires
conform to specifications for nominal one-inch chips, as specified in Table I,
or conform to specifications for crumb rubber, as specified in Table II.

(b)
Storage of either nominal one-inch chips or crumb rubber shall conform to
paragraphs
62-711.540(1)(b), (g) and
(h), subsections (2) and (3), F.A.C., except
that maximum pile height shall be limited to 10 feet.
(c) For facilities consuming nominal one-inch
chips, the maximum processed tire inventory shall be limited to the following:
1. For facilities which have been in
operation less than six months, one month's projected usage based on design
capacity, or
2. For other
facilities, two times the average actual monthly usage during the preceding six
months.
3. For single project
applications, the entire stockpile shall be consumed within 120 days of its
initial formation.
(d)
Processed tires, including those meeting the above specifications for nominal
one-inch chips or crumb rubber, shall be transported only by a registered waste
tire collector.
(e) Facilities
which cut, shred, or otherwise alter whole waste tires, or accept processed
tires for further processing, are considered waste tire processing facilities,
and the processed tires produced will be considered waste tires, even if the
resulting processed tire material meets the above specifications for nominal
one-inch chips or crumb rubber. Facilities that receive, consume, or process
whole waste tires or processed tires other than these specified types and sizes
will continue to be regulated as waste tire processing facilities.
