There are markets <br />available in Wisconsin for the tire chips. Chipping tires for fuel supply will help to <br />eliminate the problem of illegal tire dumping in the State. The proposed rate for tire <br />disposal will be $1.00 to $2.00 versus current rates at $5.00-$7.00. Studies have shown <br />that as an alternative to coal, tire chips burn cleaner. The proposed operation requires <br />permitting by the State and the County. The State permit has been applied for and a <br />provisional permit has been granted. Following a 30 day comment period, the application <br />will be forwarded to MPCA for full board action. At the County level, the application must <br />be reviewed and approved by Environmental Services, Health Board, County Board. <br /> <br />Mr. Miller presented a video of the proposed operation at this time which also indicated db <br />readings at various locations around the tire chipper. <br /> <br />Planning & Zoning Public Hearing/March 7, 1989 <br /> Page 1 of 7 <br /> <br /> <br />
