42846.  (a) The board may expend available moneys to perform any cleanup, abatement, or remedial work required under the circumstances set forth in Section 42845 which in its judgment is required by the magnitude of endeavor or the need for prompt action to prevent substantial pollution, nuisance, or injury to the public health or safety. The action may be taken in default of, or in addition to, remedial work by the violator or other persons, and regardless of whether injunctive relief is being sought. (b) The board may perform the work itself, or by or in cooperation with any other governmental agency, and may use rented tools or equipment, either with operators furnished or unoperated. Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, the board may enter into oral contracts for that work, and the contracts, whether written or oral, may include provisions for equipment rental and in addition the furnishing of labor and materials necessary to accomplish the work. The contracts are exempt from approval by the Department of General Services pursuant to Section 10295 of the Public Contract Code.(Amended by Stats. 1991, Ch. 717, Sec. 25.)

42847.  If waste tires are cleaned up, the effects of the tires are abated, or, in the case of threatened pollution or nuisance, other necessary remedial action is taken by any governmental agency, the person or persons who unlawfully stored, stockpiled, or accumulated the waste tires or who unlawfully permitted the storage, stockpile, or accumulation of waste tires or who threatened to cause or permit the unlawful storage, stockpile, or accumulation of waste tires shall be liable to that governmental agency to the extent of the reasonable costs actually incurred in cleaning up the waste, abating the effects thereof, or taking other remedial actions. The amount of those costs shall be recoverable in a civil action by, and paid to, the governmental agency and the board to the extent of the latter’s contribution to the cleanup costs from available funds. The board shall seek recovery of its costs if that recovery is feasible.(Amended by Stats. 1997, Ch. 875, Sec. 1. Effective January 1, 1998.)

2021 California Code|Public Resources Code - PRC|DIVISION 30 - WASTE MANAGEMENT|PART 3 - STATE PROGRAMS|CHAPTER 16 - Waste Tires|ARTICLE 5 - Renewal, Suspension, or Revocation|Section 42847.5.

42847.5.  (a) Any costs or damages incurred by the department under this article constitute a lien upon the real property owned by any responsible party that is subject to the remedial action. The lien shall attach regardless of whether the responsible party is insolvent. A lien imposed under this section shall arise at the time costs are first incurred by the department with respect to a remedial action at the site.(b) A lien established under this section shall be subject to the notice and hearing procedures required by due process of the law. Prior to imposing the lien, the department shall send the property owner via certified mail a “Notice of Intent to Place A Lien” letter. This letter shall provide that the owner, within 14 calendar days from the date of receipt of the letter, may object to the imposition of the lien either in writing or through an informal proceeding before a neutral official. This neutral official shall be the director or his or her designee, who may not have had any prior involvement with the site. The issue before the neutral official shall be whether the department has a reasonable basis for its determination that the statutory elements for lien placement under this section are satisfied. During this proceeding the property owner may present information or submit documents, or both, to establish that the department should not place a lien as proposed. The neutral official shall ensure that a record of the proceeding is made, and shall issue a written decision. The decision shall state whether the property owner has established any issue of fact or law to alter the department’s intention to file a lien, and the basis for the decision.(c) The department may not be considered a responsible party for a remediated site merely because a lien is imposed under this section.(d) A lien imposed under this section shall continue until the liability for the costs or damages incurred under this article, or a judgment against the responsible party, is satisfied. However, if it is determined by a court that the judgment against the responsible party will not be satisfied, the department may exercise its rights under the lien.(e) A lien imposed under this section shall have the force and effect of, and the priority of, a judgment lien upon its recordation in the county in which the property subject to the lien is located. The lien shall contain a legal description of the real property that is subject to, or affected by, the remedial action, the assessor’s parcel number, and the name of the owner of record, as shown on the latest equalized assessment roll.(f) All funds recovered under this section on behalf of the department’s waste tire stabilization and abatement program shall be deposited in the California Tire Recycling Management Fund established under Section 42885.(Amended by Stats. 2012, Ch. 534, Sec. 6. (AB 1647) Effective January 1, 2013.)

42849.  (a) “Threaten” or “threat,” for purposes of this article, means a condition creating a substantial probability of harm, when the probability and potential extent of harm make it reasonably necessary to take immediate action to prevent, reduce, or mitigate damages to persons, property, natural resources, or the public health or safety.(b) If the board finds either an imminent threat to public health, safety, or the environment, or a threat, as defined by subdivision (a), the board may conduct an emergency meeting to determine the legal, enforcement, cleanup, or other necessary actions that may be taken to correct that imminent threat or threat. Such a finding by the board shall be deemed to be an “emergency situation” for purposes of, and in addition to the situations described in, Section 11125.5 of the Government Code.(Amended by Stats. 2000, Ch. 838, Sec. 15.

2021 California Code|Public Resources Code - PRC|DIVISION 30 - WASTE MANAGEMENT|PART 3 - STATE PROGRAMS|CHAPTER 17 - California Tire Recycling Act|ARTICLE 1 - Findings|Section 42861.

42861.  The Legislature finds and declares the following:(a) The problem posed by used tire storage and disposal requires a comprehensive, statewide response, including, but not limited to, reducing landfill disposal of used whole tires, recycling of tires into secondary uses, source material development and promotion of secondary markets for used tire byproducts, tire shredding, and energy recovery.(b) California is currently faced with an existing used tire inventory of at least 100 million tires, an amount which grows by over 20 million tires per year. Without a dedication of resources to address the state’s growing tire population, the health and safety of all Californians will be increasingly at risk.(c) There are currently no dedicated resources for the recycling of used tires, or a comprehensive tire shredding program. Therefore, the levying of a fee on the disposal of used whole tires in the state is needed to support tire recycling activities.(d) Used tires represent a valuable state resource which should be reclaimed and recycled whenever possible. An abundance of tire recycling alternatives exist which have been demonstrated to be environmentally safe. These alternatives need to be promoted in order to achieve the maximum use of used tires.(e) Shredding of used tires represents a preferable alternative to whole tire storage or disposal. Given the rapidly decreasing amount of landfill space available to local jurisdictions, shredding represents a positive way of storing tires until a secondary use can be developed.(Added by Stats. 1990, Ch. 35, Sec. 25. Effective March 30, 1990.)

2021 California Code|Public Resources Code - PRC|DIVISION 30 - WASTE MANAGEMENT|PART 3 - STATE PROGRAMS|CHAPTER 17 - California Tire Recycling Act|ARTICLE 2 - Storage at Landfills|Section 42865.

42865.  (a) It is the policy of the state that until a state tire recycling program is fully underway and operational, the shredding of used tires shall be encouraged.(b) For the purposes of this act, a “tire” refers to any vehicle tire whose major component is rubber, and its component parts. “Shredding” includes both mechanical and cryogenic shredding which reduces tires to a size of less than four inches in width.(Added by Stats. 1990, Ch. 35, Sec. 25. Effective March 30, 1990.)

2021 California Code|Public Resources Code - PRC|DIVISION 30 - WASTE MANAGEMENT|PART 3 - STATE PROGRAMS|CHAPTER 17 - California Tire Recycling Act|ARTICLE 2 - Storage at Landfills|Section 42867.

42867.  Except as otherwise determined by the board, only landfills authorized in this article shall be eligible for financial assistance in the shredding of tires pursuant to Article 3 (commencing with Section 42870).(Added by Stats. 1990, Ch. 35, Sec. 25. Effective March 30, 1990.)

2021 California Code|Public Resources Code - PRC|DIVISION 30 - WASTE MANAGEMENT|PART 3 - STATE PROGRAMS|CHAPTER 17 - California Tire Recycling Act|ARTICLE 3 - Tire Recycling|Section 42870.

42870.  It is the intent of the Legislature:(a) To reduce the landfill disposal and stockpiling of used whole tires by 25 percent within four years of full implementation of a statewide tire recycling program and to recycle and reclaim used tires and used tire components to the greatest extent possible in order to recover valuable natural resources.(b) To eliminate illegal dumping and unnecessary stockpiling of used tires.(Added by Stats. 1990, Ch. 35, Sec. 25. Effective March 30, 1990.)

2021 California Code|Public Resources Code - PRC|DIVISION 30 - WASTE MANAGEMENT|PART 3 - STATE PROGRAMS|CHAPTER 17 - California Tire Recycling Act|ARTICLE 3 - Tire Recycling|Section 42872.

42872.  The tire recycling program may include, but is not limited to, the following:(a) The awarding of grants, subsidies, rebates, and loans to businesses or other enterprises, and public entities, involved in activities and applications that result in reduced landfill disposal of used whole tires and reduced illegal disposal or stockpiling of used whole tires.(b) The awarding of grants for research aimed at developing technologies or improving current activities and applications that result in reduced landfill disposal of used whole tires.(c) The awarding of grants or loans for the evaluation, planning, design, improvement, and implementation of alternative used tire recycling programs in this state.(d) The awarding of grants, subsidies, rebates, or loans to businesses that shred used tires for purposes of recycling.(e) Development and implementation of an information and education program, including seminars and conferences, aimed at promoting alternatives to the landfill disposal of used whole tires.(f) The awarding of grants or loans to tire shredding programs at authorized landfills, solid waste transfer stations, or dedicated tire shredding facilities, including the direct purchase of shredders or financing of shredder contracts.(g) Development and implementation of a waste tire incentive payment program to promote increased demand for waste tires recycled in this state and to promote higher valued products.(Amended by Stats. 2012, Ch. 534, Sec. 11. (AB 1647) Effective January 1, 2013.)
