WASTE TIRE RECYCLING
2 2001 GENERAL SESSION
3 STATE OF UTAH
4 Sponsor: Neal B. Hendrickson
5 This act modifies the Environmental Quality Code to amend provisions related to the waste
6 tire recycling program. The waste tire recycling fee is increased. The act restricts eligibility
7 for partial reimbursement of recycling costs to recyclers within the state who recycle a
8 minimum number of waste tires generated within the state. The act modifies the
9 reimbursement amounts recyclers may receive and reduces reimbursements for removing
10 waste tires from an abandoned waste tire pile or landfill waste tire pile. The act allows the
11 executive secretary of the Solid and Hazardous Waste Control Board to deny reimbursement
12 of costs to remove waste tires from an abandoned waste tire pile or landfill waste tire pile,
13 if payment of the removal costs would result in there being insufficient funds to reimburse
14 costs of recyclers. The act prohibits double payments to reimburse recycling costs when
15 waste tires are converted into crumb rubber which is subsequently used to create an ultimate
16 product. The act amends definitions and makes technical changes. This act takes effect on
17 July 1, 2001.
18 This act affects sections of Utah Code Annotated 1953 as follows:
