We are charged with implementing a comprehensive stockpile abatement program including the following components:
- Identify all illegal waste tire stockpiles in Colorado.
- Develop information on all illegal waste tire stockpile sites defining size, site characteristics, surrounding population density, surrounding features, topography and other critical data.
- Prioritize planned stockpile abatement based on objective assessment of public health and environmental impact criteria.
- Select qualified contractors to conduct stockpile abatement activities.
- Implement abatement activities as rapidly as possible while controlling impact on constructive utilization of newly generated waste tires.
- When appropriate, collect compensation from those who knowingly allowed or participated in illegal dumping of waste tires.
