Notice of Commencement
A.R.S. § 44-1304.01(A)(8) applies to mining tire storage sites where the tires are outside the

LEGAL AUTHORITY:
A.R.S. § 44-1304.01(A)(8)
A.A.C. R18-13-1201
CONDITIONS REQUIRING PERMITS, AUTHORIZATIONS OR FILINGS:
A one-time notice of commencement of burial of mining industry off-road motor vehicle
waste tires, a map of the mining facility which clearly identifies the location and dimensions
of the burial cell(s) and the estimated number of mining industry off-road motor vehicle waste
tires which will be buried in each cell. New burial cell(s) not previously included in a notice,
require submission of an additional notice. An annual report, which documents the location of
each burial cell established during the preceding calendar year, the alphabetical or numerical
identifier of each burial cell and the number of off-road motor vehicle waste tires which were
placed in each burial cell for burial during the preceding calendar year must be filed by March
30 of each year, until a burial cell closure certification is filed with ADEQ. A burial cell
closure certification must be filed after placement of final cover, and records which document
the number of tires buried in each cell must then be maintained for at least three years. The
closure certificate shall contain a statement by the operator that no additional tires will be
buried in the burial cell and a statement by an Arizona registered engineer certifying that the
cover requirements of A.A.C. R18-13-1203 have been met. The applicable rules allow storage
for no more than 500 mining industry off-road motor vehicle waste tires at the mining facility,
outside of a burial cell, unless the mining facility has ADEQ approval to operate a waste tire
collection site.
