Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 848 - MANAGEMENT OF USED AND WASTE TIRES › Subpart A - GENERAL › Section 848.106 - Estimating the Weight of Used and Waste Tire Accumulations

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) If the weight of an accumulation of used
				or waste tires is unknown, its weight may, for the purposes of this Part, be
				calculated by multiplying the volume of the accumulation, measured in cubic
				yards, by the appropriate density factor listed in this subsection (a).
1) Whole Tires in Shallow Piles. For a used
				or waste tire accumulation that is not greater than 10 feet in height and that
				is composed exclusively of used or waste tires that have not been chopped or
				shredded, the appropriate density factor is 0.11 tons per cubic yard, unless
				the tires in the accumulation are stacked or laced, in which case the
				appropriate density factor is 0.17 tons per cubic yard.
2) Whole Tires in Deep Piles. For a used or
				waste tire accumulation that is greater than 10 feet in height and that is
				composed exclusively of used or waste tires that have not been chopped or
				shredded, the appropriate density factor is 0.13 tons per cubic yard, unless
				the tires in the accumulation are stacked or laced, in which case the
				appropriate density factor is 0.17 tons per cubic yard.
3) Coarse Shreds in Shallow Piles. For a used
				or waste tire accumulation that is not greater than 10 feet in height and that
				is composed exclusively of used or waste tires that have been chopped or
				shredded into pieces having any dimension that is greater than or equal to 4
				inches, the appropriate density factor is 0.36 tons per cubic yard.
4) Coarse Shreds in Deep Piles. For a used or
				waste tire accumulation that is greater than 10 feet in height and that is
				composed exclusively of used or waste tires that have been chopped or shredded
				into pieces having any dimension that is greater than or equal to 4 inches, the
				appropriate density factor is 0.44 tons per cubic yard.
5) Fine Shreds in Shallow Piles. For a used
				or waste tire accumulation that is not greater than 10 feet in height and that
				is composed exclusively of used or waste tires that have been chopped or
				shredded into pieces having no dimension that is greater than or equal to 4
				inches, the appropriate density factor is 0.47 tons per cubic yard.
6) Fine Shreds in Deep Piles. For a used or
				waste tire accumulation that is greater than 10 feet in height and that is
				composed exclusively of used or waste tires that have been chopped or shredded
				into pieces having no dimension that is greater than or equal to 4 inches, the
				appropriate density factor is 0.58 tons per cubic yard.
7) Mixtures of Coarse and Fine Shreds in
				Shallow Piles. For a used or waste tire accumulation that is not greater than
				10 feet in height and that is composed of used or waste tires that have been
				chopped or shredded not only into pieces having no dimension that is greater
				than or equal to 4 inches but also into pieces having a dimension that is
				greater than or equal to 4 inches, the appropriate density factor is 0.47 tons
				per cubic yard.
8) Mixtures of
				Coarse and Fine Shreds in Deep Piles. For a used or waste tire accumulation
				that is greater than 10 feet in height and that is composed of used or waste
				tires that have been chopped or shredded not only into pieces having no
				dimension that is greater than or equal to 4 inches but also into pieces having
				a dimension that is greater than or equal to 4 inches, the appropriate density
				factor is 0.58 tons per cubic yard.
