§ 7-24. Storage methods and standards.

Any storage of more than one thousand used tires shall be in accordance with the following standards, unless within a fully enclosed building or trailer:

(a)

Tires may be stockpiled in cells covering a maximum surface area of five thousand square feet each. The maximum width of any stockpile shall be fifty feet and the maximum height shall be five feet.

(b)

Stockpiles shall be separated by a minimum distance of fifty feet and shall be located a minimum distance of fifty feet from any building or structure and any perimeter property line. These fifty-foot separation areas shall be maintained free of obstructions at all times and maintained so as to permit emergency apparatus access.

(c)

The maximum distance from any portion of the stockpile to an emergency access lane capable of accommodating fire response apparatus shall be one hundred fifty feet.

(d)

An adequate water supply for fire suppression, as determined by the fire official, shall be available to the site.

(e)

All outdoor storage sites shall be enclosed by an appropriately sized chain-link fence and access shall be controlled by a lockable gate. If storage is within a fully enclosed trailer(s), no fence shall be required.

(f)

Appropriate and adequate provisions shall be made for stormwater management on the site. In addition, the drainage plan for the site shall be developed to manage properly any runoff that would result from fire suppression efforts in the event of a fire in any of the stockpiles. (6-14-18.)
