5. R. W. Beck, Inc. Processing Infrastructure Trends & Issues  Expansions, Contractions and Partnerships  Increased Competition Driving Down Collection Revenue in Some Areas  Reduced Availability of Scrap Tires  Compliance Challenges  Competition from Out-of-State Subsidized Ground Rubber Imports  Fairness & Appropriate Use of Board Assistance Resources

6. R. W. Beck, Inc. Reuse – Holding Steady (14.0% in 2008)

7. R. W. Beck, Inc. Ground Rubber – Steady Growth, Some Threats (22.4% in 2008)

8. R. W. Beck, Inc. Civil Engineering – Declining with Abrupt Changes Possible (6.2% IN 2008)

9. R. W. Beck, Inc. Alternative Daily Cover - Declining (4.6% in 2008)

10. R. W. Beck, Inc. Tire-Derived Fuel - Declining (16.7% in 2008)

11. R. W. Beck, Inc. Exports: Used Tires Steady; Waste Tires Increasing (8.2% in 2008)

12. R. W. Beck, Inc. 2008 Diversion Estimate: 72%

13. R. W. Beck, Inc. Short-Term Diversion Outlook: Reduction in 2009 Very Possible  Expect Increased Diversion through Ground Rubber and Exports  Expect Decreases in Civil Engineering and Tire-Derived Fuel  Will Threats to Ground Rubber Materialize?  How Deep and Long will the Recession Be?

14. R. W. Beck, Inc. Long-Term Threats to California Scrap Tire Diversion  Prolonged Recession  Reduced Board Funding  Perceived Environ Health & Safety Concerns  Export Boom and Bust  Ground Rubber Over Supply  Compliance Challenges  Possible Used Tire Export Constraints  Possible Increase in Low-Cost GR Imports

15. R. W. Beck, Inc. Market Analysis Conclusions  CA Scrap Tire Industry Entered 2009 in Strong Position, With Ground Rubber Growing  But Short-Term Constraints and Long-Term Diversion Threats Loom  Export is a “wild card”  Opportunity for Program Evaluation & Strategy Refinement
