Louisiana Administrative Code › Title 33 - ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY › Part VII - Solid Waste › Subpart 2 - Recycling › Chapter 105 - Waste Tires › Section VII-10519 - Standards and Responsibilities of Waste Tire Generators and Sellers of Tires

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. Within 30
				  days of commencement of business operations or when requested by the
				  administrative authority, generators of waste tires that store more than 20
				  whole waste tires and/or persons who sell tires shall notify the administrative
				  authority of their existence and obtain a generator identification number. The
				  identification number shall be obtained by the generator prior to initiating a
				  waste tire manifest. Notification shall be on a form available on the
				  departments website.
B. Tire
				  dealers must accept from the purchaser, at the time of purchase, one waste tire
				  for every tire sold, unless the purchaser elects to retain the waste tire. Tire
				  dealers may accept additional waste tires from the customer; however, the
				  additional tires are considered program ineligible waste tires and shall be
				  documented on the waste tire manifest as ineligible waste tires.
C. Each tire dealer doing business in the
				  state of Louisiana shall be responsible for the collection of the $2.25 waste
				  tire fee upon the sale of each passenger/light truck tire, $5 waste tire fee
				  upon the sale of each medium truck tire, and $10 waste tire fee upon the sale
				  of each off-road tire. For recapped or retreaded tires, a waste tire fee of
				  $1.25 shall be collected upon the sale of each recapped or retreaded tire.
				  These fees shall also be collected upon replacement of all recall and
				  adjustment tires. These fees shall be collected whether or not the purchaser
				  retains the waste tires. The department does not require the collection of fees
				  on the sale of tires weighing 500 pounds or more, solid tires, or tires which
				  are de minimis in nature, including but not limited to lawn mower tires,
				  bicycle tires, and golf cart tires.
D. Each dealer of passenger/light truck
				  tires, medium truck tires, or off-road tires shall:
1. remit all waste tire fees as required by
				  LAC 33:VII.10535.B to the administrative authority on a monthly basis on or
				  before the twentieth day following the month during which the fees were
				  collected. The fees shall be remitted to the Office of Management and
				  Finance;
2. submit with the waste
				  tire fees, the monthly waste tire fee report (Form WT02, available from the
				  Office of Management and Finance) to the Office of Management and Finance on or
				  before the twentieth day of each month for the previous month's activity,
				  including months in which no fees were collected;
3. keep and preserve records as may be
				  necessary to readily determine the amount of fee due. Each dealer shall
				  maintain a complete record of the quantity of tires sold, together with tire
				  sales invoices, purchase invoices, inventory records, and copies of each
				  monthly waste tire fee report for a period of no less than five years;
				  and
4. maintain the required
				  records in accordance with LAC 33:VII.10509.H.
