Delaware agency to hold public hearing on proposed modifications to state’s scrap tire regulations
<![CDATA[

The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) Solid and Hazardous Waste Management Section (SHWMS) will hold a public hearing Monday, April 25, 2016, in Dover to receive comments on proposed modifications to Section 12 of Delaware’s Regulations Governing Solid Waste. Current regulations require all businesses operating a scrap tire facility to obtain a permit, which includes paying an annual permit fee. The public hearing will start at 6 p.m. in the DNREC Auditorium inside the Richardson & Robbins Building, 89 Kings Highway, Dover, Delaware 19901.

The proposed amendments for the Scrap Tire Management Program would allow businesses that store scrap tires in fully enclosed trailers to operate without a permit, provided that certain criteria, including notifying DNREC of their scrap tire storage space, are met and maintained to ensure protection of human health and the environment.

Additionally, the proposed amendments would make corrections to and better clarify the current scrap tire management regulations.

The proposed amendments can be found on the DNREC website at www.dnrec.delaware.gov/Info/Pages/Rules.aspx.

The public also may view the proposed amendments Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at DNREC’s main offices located at 89 Kings Highway.

Individuals who would like to make an appointment to review the amendment, to register for handout materials at the April 25 public hearing or who would like additional information about scrap tire management in Delaware can contact Andy Martin, DNREC SHWMS, at 302-739-9403, Option 8.
