Tire Enforcement Program
Goals and Objectives of the Tire Program To reduce illegal storage and disposal of tires to minimize the effect on public health and the environment To foster alternative uses or reuse of waste tires
Tire Management Program
Enforcement Programs
Enforcement Regulatory Stakeholders Generators Tire Dealers, Auto Dismantlers, Anyone generating 10 or more tires Haulers Anyone hauling 10 or more tires End Users Landfills, Transfer Stations, Recyclers
Tools in Enforcement Inspections Investigating Complaints Surveillance Permitting of Tire Facility Hauler Registration Manifest System WTMS database
Manifest Information as an Enforcement Tool During inspections To target businesses operating illegally As evidence in enforcement cases
Manifest Information as an Enforcement Tool - Inspections Generators Helps determine if using Registered Haulers Haulers Number of tires picked up and dropped off Are tires going to authorized facility End User Reports unregistered Haulers Verify that Hauler is using authorized facility
Manifest Information as an Enforcement Tool Reports on potentially illegal activities Generators not submitting manifests Haulers with expired registrations Account for tires picked up and delivered by Hauler
Manifest Information as Evidence in Enforcement Cases Manifests can show that: A Generator has used an unregistered hauler Unregistered haulers hauled illegally to an authorized facilities Lack of manifests at a Generator can be evidence that they are not using Registered Haulers Multiple manifests can show Hauler potentially illegally dumped tires
WHAT Violations WHERE Address of generator (pickup) Address of end user (delivery) WHO TPID #, Business name Role & Relationship: Generator, Hauler, End use WHEN Date of violation Manifest Information as Evidence in Enforcement Cases
Questions
Waste Tire Manifest System A Discussion of Options
Objectives of the Waste Tire Manifest System Specific to the Manifest System, SB 876, sought to: Provide an accurate accounting that track tires from point of generation to disposal Close the loop on accountability by including each party in the system (generator, hauler and end user).
Option 1 -- Current Waste Tire Manifest System Option 2 -- Proposed Comprehensive Trip Log Option 3 -- Monthly Summary Report Discussion of Options
Option 1 Current Waste Tire Manifest System “Closes the Loop on Accountability” by requiring each party to a tire transaction – Generator, Hauler and End Use Facility to report on specific tire transactions. Ability to cross check load and tire amount data between Hauler and Generator and End User at the trip level. Provides detailed transaction data on tire pick up/delivery and hauler activity.
CIWMB
Option 2 -- Comprehensive Trip Log Places responsibility on the Hauler to report for Generator and End Use Facility. Generator, End Use Facility sign off and are provided “receipt” for tires picked up and delivered. Provides detailed tire transaction data at the “load” level; date, tire, tire amt, etc. for enforcement. Reduces reporting entities from 11,000 to 800+ and significantly reduces paper form submittal.
Comprehensive Trip Log Common Pick up and Delivery Generator 1 Generator 2 Receipt A Receipt B End Use Site Receipt C CIWMB Only Hauler Reports - Hauler reports for both Generator and End Use Facility clients. There is only one form. Each client receives a Receipt for their records Hauler sends copy of CTL form to CIWMB for processing.
Option 3 -- Monthly Summary Report Requires Generator, Hauler and End Use Facility to report Monthly. Provide summary information and totals on tires exchange activity. Reduction in paper forms submitted.
CIWMB Monthly Summary Report Hauler Monthly Summary Report Generator Monthly Summary Report End Use Facility Monthly Summary Reporting * Important* If the business plays more than one role, i.e. Generator as Hauler, they must complete a form for that role. In other words, a Generator who is also a Hauler must submit a form listing all Generator activity and submit a form for all Hauling activity. Each stakeholder business must report monthly
Questions
How EDT works
Electronic Data Transfer (EDT) EDT Hauler Invoice Generator 1 Generator 2 End Use Site EDT Approved Hauler: - Generates WTMS information as part of their internal automated invoice and accounting systems. -- Uses their own Invoice as approved by CIWMB. -- Reports on behalf of their clients – Generators and End Users. -- Submits information monthly in a “batch” mode via Internet to CIWMB for processing. CIWMB Internet Site Common Pick up and Delivery
Web Based EDT Hauler Invoice Generator 1 Generator 2 End Use Site Web Based EDT Approved Hauler: -- Generates WTMS information on a transaction basis using their computer and accessing the Web based EDT data entry screen within the Board’s Tires Website. -- Reports on behalf of their clients – Generators and End Users. -- Uses their own Invoice as approved by CIWMB. -- Data entered daily, weekly. CIWMB Internet Tires Web Site Web Based Electronic Data Transfer Common Pick up and Delivery
Distinctions between Paper and EDT Reporting Paper All parties report (except CTL) Must use CIWMB approved forms Must send in paper forms for processing within 14 days or monthly if Summary Report. EDT Hauler reports on behalf of Generator and End User Can use their own invoice, as approved by CIWMB Can send WTMS data either in “batch” mode or through daily data entry into Web based EDT portal.

Comparison of Options Attachment 4 Information captured Scannable Load Tracking Trip Reconciliation Data for Enforcement Market Development
Comparison of Options Forms submitted annually Reporting Frequency Who Reports Options for reporting Automated system in place
Summary Option 1 Electronic data submittal – hauler reports Paper based forms – all report Tracks at load and trip level Costs for development already incurred Current 300,000 forms plus 132,000 EDT records
Summary Option 2 Electronic data submittal – hauler reports Paper based form – hauler reports Tracks at load level Can be built on existing system, major costs for development already incurred Estimate 75,000 forms (without electronic data submittal)
Summary Option 3 Electronic data submittal – all report Paper based form – all report Tracks at monthly activity level per hauler, generator and end user Cannot be built on existing system, major costs for development Estimate 132,000 forms (without electronic data submittal)

Options for Simplifying the Manifest System Option 1 Development of a Comprehensive Trip Log whereby Haulers report on behalf of Generators and End Users Option 2 Continued Expansion of Electronic Data Transfer (EDT)
Options for Simplifying the Manifest System Option 3 Develop Web Based EDT reporting method for Haulers Option 4 Development of software for Hauler data entry of client information, tire pick up and deliveries. Designed to run on a single PC with printing capability, client list reports.
Option 2— Continue Expansion of EDT Electronic Data Transfer (EDT) has proven very successful with approved EDT Haulers reporting on behalf of Generators and End Users. Very similar to Comprehensive Trip Log. Expansion expected given that WTMS is here to stay and that Comprehensive Trip Log is built on the same approach as EDT.
Option 3 – Expand Options for Web Based EDT Proposed development of Internet Based EDT entry for approved Haulers. CIWMB proposes a Web based data entry screen for Haulers to enter in Trip Log data via the Internet, should they wish to continue to use their own forms and who do not have a high level of in-house computer support. Current EDT data sent in batches. EDT participants are responsible for creating and submitting data to CIWMB from their own automated systems. EDT participants use their own forms.
Waste Tire Trip Log Purpose: To document and summarize each pick up or delivery/disposal of waste tires. To cross reference the Manifest Number with the Trip Log Number Use: Hauler enters Manifest number and Load Info from each pick up or delivery or disposal. One entry for each pick up or delivery/disposal. Tire counts for pick ups must equal tires off for delivery or disposal at end of trip. The Trip Log is completed by the Hauler only L
Waste Tire Manifest Form Purpose : Document the pick up or delivery or disposal of waste tires. Part I is completed by the Hauler Part II is completed by the Generator or End Use Facility Use: To provide a record for the hauler and the generator or end use facility operator of tires exchanged. M
Option 1— Comprehensive Trip Log A single WTMS Trip Log that would enable the Hauler to report on behalf of the Generator and End User. Comprehensive Trip Log has three perforated receipts for Generators or End Use site transactions. Generator or End Use representatives must initial receipt before it is detached from Comprehensive Trip Log. Comprehensive Trip Log may be held until all receipts are used or within 14 days of initial use. Upon completion of Comprehensive Trip Log or 14 days calendar elapsed time, 2 nd Copy to CIWMB.
Other WTMS requirements remain the same - Generators to use authorized, registered Haulers Generators, End Users to hold receipts for 3 years at their place of business. Hauler sends in 2 nd copy of Comprehensive Trip Log to CIWMB for processing and documentation Hauler retains 3 rd copy for their records for 3 years at their place of business.

Option 1 -- Continue Existing WTMS while seeking to expand EDT Pro Significantly reduces number of forms submitted to CIWMB (with electronic data submittal) Significantly reduces staff time in processing forms Reduces costs to CIWMB (postage, forms)
Con Hauler is responsible and accountable for reporting Electronic data submittal not mandatory, so will still receive unknown number of paper forms May require statutory/regulatory changes Option 1 -- Continue Existing WTMS while seeking to expand EDT
Option 2 -- CTL Pros Hauler reports on behalf of generator and end-user Report format is simpler (single form) If reporting via electronic data submittal, hauler uses own invoice Captures all key information except trip level for enforcement purposes
Option 2 -- CTL Pros Ability to cross reference to load level Significantly reduces number of forms submitted to CIWMB (75%) Significantly reduces staff time in processing forms Reduces costs to CIWMB (postage, forms)
Option 2 -- CTL Cons Hauler is responsible and accountable for reporting Cannot associate a specific pickup or delivery to a specific trip Does not capture all information captured under Option 1 Electronic data submittal not mandatory, so will still receive unknown number of paper forms May require statutory/regulatory changes
Option 3 – Summary Reporting Pros All parties report and remain part of the system Simplifies reporting re: per transaction and multiple forms Provides summary information for enforcement and market development Ability to cross reference at summary level Less burden on hauler
Option 3 – Summary Reporting Pros Reduces forms by 40-45% Significantly reduces staff time in processing forms Reduces costs to CIWMB (postage, forms)
Option 3 – Summary Reporting Cons For enforcement, will not provide load dates/amounts, type of tires, or hauler registration or truck decal information Burden on each party to maintain accurate records over month to report accurately All parties must report, even if no activity that month May be a workload management issue for staff as all reports due at same time
Option 3 – Summary Reporting Pros May require statutory/regulatory changes Electronic data submittal will not be mandatory, so will still receive an unknown number of paper based reports May require multiple reports if hauler also acting as generator and/or end user
