SECTION 252:515-21-3. Priority cleanup list

(a)   Investigation and prioritization. When DEQ receives notification of or information about the existence of an unauthorized used tire dump, a dump survey shall be conducted to determine landowner information, cleanup feasibility, and an estimate of the number of tires present. The resulting data shall be used to prioritize tire dumps on the priority cleanup list (PCL).

(b)   Priority listing. Tire dumps will be placed on the PCL when the landowner was the victim of illegal dumping or DEQ has exhausted the administrative enforcement process.

(c)   Number authorized for compensation. The PCL shall include the name and number assigned to each tire dump on the list and the estimated total number of tires contained therein. For each used tire dump on the PCL, the total number of used tires authorized for compensation from the fund shall not exceed the number of used tires identified.

(d)   PCL updates. For each used tire dump on the PCL, if the total number of used tires identified on the PCL is removed from that dump and there are used tires remaining, DEQ may update the PCL to reflect the remaining number of used tires.
