IX.	WASTE ACCEPTANCE

The disposal site accepts processed waste tire materials, miscellaneous rubber-only items accepted by the business, and non-regulated tires as indicated in the application. Generally, the site only accepts tires processed by the on-site tire processing facility. The allowable whole waste tire storage capacity at this site per WTP-0005 shall not exceed 5,000 whole tires. Likewise, the allowable processed waste tire storage capacity at this site including the rubber, fiber, and steel components of the tires shall not exceed 2500 processed tires.

X.	FINAL HEIGHT 

The disposal operations are intended to return the excavated disposal area to natural grade; however the final height of cover is not to exceed 290 feet of elevation above sea level anywhere on the property.

XI.	COVER SCHEDULE

Tires disposed will be covered with at least six inches of earthen material at least once every 30 days.

XII.	GEOLOGICAL AND SITE CONSTRUCTION INFORMATION

Generally, the site’s geology contains sandy soils near the ground surface, but there are areas where acceptable natural liner and buffer soils are located at and directly beneath the ground surface. W Geotechnical and Testing, Inc. performed a geologic exploration of the proposed expansion area in 2017 during which 8 borings were advanced into the ground to [depth(s)] ft below the ground surface. [2-3 sentence summary of what kind of soils and groundwater observations there were (from geotech report)]. 
While the currently permitted area was not constructed with a liner, the proposed expansion contains only 4.8 acres (Area A) where the natural soil conditions are appropriate for a liner. The remaining 8.21 acres (Area B) primarily has sand directly beneath the ground surface and will require construction of a recompacted clay liner prior to disposal of waste. The permittee is required to submit design and QA/QC plans for approval prior to use of Area B.
