Taken 7-9-111 by RR • To: Chief Dennis Mayo From: DC Brian Schaeffer Date: August 18, 2003 Re: Notes for Council Fire Department Concerns 1. Tire fires, especially those in which a large number of tires are involved, are very difficult to extinguish and produce toxic smoke (EPA deems IDLH) More than 32 toxic gases are produced by tire fires 2. These fires can be dangerous to the health and safety of firefighters and other emergency responders, and to the health and safety of the surrounding community (specifically at suppression hazards, products of combustion, personal protection, fire duration, and site hazards.) 3. This fire would require the attention of the entire department with significant reliance on mutual aid and an off-duty response. The duration of the fire would also call for greater -than - normal demands on the water supply potentially causing that supply to be inadequate. 4. Storage is too close to buildings on the same or adjacent premises, causing fires in the exposed buildings and neighboring businesses 5. Generation of oil and related products where runoff contaminates the surrounding area. A car tire is estimated to produce about two gallons of oil. Tire fire run-off is a significant environmental pollutant that can get into groundwater and contaminate well water. In addition to run-off," Fire Discussion: Even relatively small tire fires can require large community resource commitment. In Lincoln, Nebraska, a fire in a pile of used tires measuring 150 feet by 50 feet by 10 feet high required one-half of the fire department's equipment and personnel to control. The overtime expenditure during this incident reduced the department's ability to provide prevention and education programs for the remainder of the budget year. o Burning embers of scrap rubber may travel considerable distances (1/4 miles or more) and must be controlled. • The cost of management is often far beyond that which the fire department can absorb. Canadian officials estimate the 1990 Hagarsville, Ontario, fire cost $1.5 million to extinguish and caused $3 million in damage. At the height of the ten acre tire fire in Catskill, New York, nearly 1,000 fire fighters and 1,000 support personnel were operating from as far away as 70 miles. • The environmental consequences of major tire fires are significant. Tires burn with a higher per -pound output than coal; the high heat production of tire rubber makes extinguishment difficult. Moreover, tire fires yield large amounts of oil that are both flammable and a threat to the environment. Tire fires become hazardous materials incidents that affect entire communities, often requiring neighborhood evacuations and protracted fire operations, and causing contamination of the air, waterways, and water table. o A tire fire in Rhinehart, Virginia issued a plume of smoke 3,000 feet high and 50 miles long with fallout reported in three states. This fire also threatened the drinking water in the District of Columbia with lead and arsenic contamination. Officials estimated the clean up cost at $1.3 million. o Extreme heat turns rubber into oil, and a standard passenger car tire can generate about two gallons of oil as it burns and liquefies. If half of the burned tires in the Hagarsville, Ontario fire were liquefied in this manner, an estimated 14 million gallons of toxic oil could have been leached into the soil of nearby farmlands (by comparison, the Exxon -Valdez incident spilled 11 million gallons of oil into the sea). Environmental Discussion: As the tire fire grows in intensity, it generates higher temperatures and voluminous amounts of thick, black acrid smoke. The plume (smoke column) may become even denser due to the accumulation of hydrocarbon pools. Rubber has a heating value of 15,000 BTU's per pound, which is similar to petroleum. However, as combustion becomes less complete, the amount of organics emitted tends to increase. This suggests that smoldering tires may present more danger than those fully involved. Studies of tire fires have identified the emission of significant quantities of bezo(a)pyrene, a reported carcinogen, and high emissions of other noxious compounds, particularly benzene (another known carcinogen), with concentrations often exceeding 1 part per million (ppm). Additional discussion of the burn characteristics are presented in The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency examined emissions from simulated open burning of scrap tires. During high burn rates, more than 50 potentially harmful organic compounds can be identified in test burn emissions. Most of the compounds are aliphatically, olefinically or acetylenically substituted aromatics. Cyclic and chained alkanes, alkenes, dienes as well as sulfonated, nitrogenated compounds, thiophene, substituted thiophenes, isocyanobenzene and benzodiazine are also identified. Results of the EPA study show reasonable agreement with compounds were identified in actual plume samples. In general, elevated levels of CO, particulates, carbon, zinc, benzene, toluene, xylene and polyaromatic hydrocarbons are measured. Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons may include naphthalene, benzo(a)pyrene, pyrene, crysene, fluorene, anthracene and phenanthrene. Metals in plumes consist primarily of lead, iron and zinc.

As an attorney, I feel it is important that both sides receive all information that will be presented to the council prior to the hearing, so that an adequate response can be made and an informed discussion can occur. I attach as Exhibit 1 a copy of Mr. Maples' letter. My clients own several parcels of property on West Washington, almost adjacent to the railroad tracks. Mr. Paullin operates Pacific Truck Parts at that location, and the property on Russell Lane is just to the north of Pacific Truck Parts. Yakima City Council August 15, 2003 Page Two BACKGROUND In January of 2000, Yakima County contracted with someone named Scott Borup. Mr. Borup was to remove automobile tires from the Yakima County landfill. This agreement is attached as Exhibit 2. Later, on September 5, 2000, the City of Yakima, through its Fire Code Inspector, Nancy Danko, authorized Mr. Borup to place these tires on my client's property at 802 Russell Lane. See Exhibit 3. You will note that this arrangement was entirely between the City of Yakima and Scott Borup's company, "Scott's Enterprises, Inc." This had nothing to do with Mr. Paullin. As you can see from Exhibit 4, Mr. Borup advised the City of Yakima that he had cleared this location with Dan Valoff in the City of Yakima's Planning Department. The City's Planning Department had advised Mr. Borup that this location was exempt from environmental requirements, and apparently approved of the operation that Mr. Borup intended to conduct (see Exhibit 4). Mr. Borup had entered into an agreement with Mr. Paullin to rent the property at Russell Lane for $800 per month (see ExhibrE—FT'" Mr. Borup brought a number of tires to the Russell Lane property, and then simply vanished. We have been attempting to locate him for a long period of time in an effort to get him to remove these tires. Mr. Borup is not paying any rent, and has not paid any rent for quite some time. By February of 2002, Mr. Paullin had retained our firm to represent him in an effort to get the County to remove its tires from his property. As you can see from Exhibit 6, I wrote to Terry Austin after having discussed this matter with him. I won't bore you with all the details relating to our correspondence with the City's bonding company, and so on, but suffice it to say that we have been in constant contact with Yakima County in an effort to get them to remove their tires since prior to my letter to Terry Austin. In May of 2003 we received a letter from Charles Heath, the Yakima Fire Inspector (see Exhibit 7). That prompted us to file a claim for breach of contract and damages with Yakima County as required by law (see Exhibit 8), and a lawsuit in Benton County, which is currently set for trial in July of next year (see Exhibit 9). Yakima City Council August 15, 2003 Page Three Mr. Heath and the City have been kept advised of all of these activities by telephone and by letter. For instance, see Exhibit 10, which is a letter I wrote to Mr. Heath on May 30, 2003. As you can see from Exhibit 11, which is his response to me dated June 10th, he basically indicated that he wanted to see some progress and some security measures. Virtually the next day I communicated our compliance to the City's attorney, Ken Harper. See Exhibit 12. By August 11th, I thought we were in full compliance, as my client had contracted with a tire baling concern to spend at least $10,000 for the removal of these tires. As you can see from Exhibit 13, I communicated that to Mr. Harper in writing, together with photographs of the baling operation which is currently under way on the property. CURRENT STATUS I am now advised by Mr. Harper that this is not enough. He now tells me that there is some concern that tire bales are a fire hazard. The State Department of Ecology disagrees. See Exhibit 14, which is a letter to Northwest Tire Recycling, dated August 8, 2002, where the State Department of Ecology Manager specifically says: We do not believe that baled tires are a fire hazard... Northwest Tire Recycling has also supplied the memorandum dated January 12, 2000, which is marked as Exhibit 15, and refers to a Nebraska Fire Marshall's report finding that baled tires are not a fire hazard. As you can see from Exhibit 16, this conclusion is shared by the University of Arizona and by the State of Colorado. See Exhibit 17. MR. PAULLIN'S SITUATION It is clear that Mr. Paullin has been victimized by Yakima C•u.nty's contractor, Scott Borup. The City of Yakima approved this operation, and now seeks to have the tires removed. 1mi V6AA/ Yakima City Council August 15, 2003 Page Four As a practical matter, it is up to Mr. Paullin to remove these tires, and he is doing so. Hopefully, our litigation in Benton County will result in him being reimbursed, at least to some extent, for the costs associated with the tire removal. He has spent a substantial sum in arranging for the tire balers to mobilize and move to his property and begin their operations. Once the tires are baled, according to the Department of Ecology (Kip Eagles), it will be permissible for them to remain at Mr. Paullin's property for a period of time. I understand from having talked with the operators of the baling operation which is currently under way that they will remove these bales for an additional 12 cents a tire. The approximate cost of baling the tires is 70 cents a tire. So, in the worst case scenario, Mr. Paullin will end up paying about 82 cents a tire to have them removed. We understand that there are about 10,000 tires on the location. Mr. Paullin has explored an alternative, in the form of Malalla Tire Recyclers. They haul the tires away in a semi truck at a cost of approximately 80 cents per tire. Mr. Paullin is hoping that he will actually be able to receive some revenue from the bales of tires when they are sold. These bales have been sold and are in use in Yakima County as fences and in other applications. It is clear that we are moving forward with the tire removal. It is clear that none of this is Mr. Paullin's fault, and it is clear that there is no fire hazard presented by the bales. It makes no sense for the City to interfere in this operation. First, the City would end up spending its own money to do something Mr. Paullin is already paying to have done. Second, the City couldn't mobile a tire baling concern any more quickly than Mr. Paullin could. Third, the City couldn't haul away the tires anymore quickly than Mr. Paullin could. In fact, by the time the City let a contract, offered bids and ran through the red tape associated with a government project, it would result in a substantial delay in solving the problem, which Mr. Paullin is currently solving. LEGAL ARGUMENT As an attorney, I have legal concerns about the City's power and authority under these circumstances. X.ak' _ nt owns the ires. The Department of Ecology, a state agency, has indicated that bales of tires may exist and may not be regulated on this Yakima City Council August 15, 2003 Page Five property. The City of Yakima has already assured Mr. Paullin in the form of its letter to Borup that it is okay to have the bales there, and now perhaps seeks to change its approach. There are federal laws which govern tire recycling, and this whole area may be preempted by federal and state regulations. No doubt we could create years of work for teams of attorneys to straighten out all these issues, when, in fact, Mr. Paullin has undertaken a reasonable approach to quickly solving the problem at no expense to the City, at great expense to himself, and is acting with all reasonable speed. I would invite the City to assist Mr. Paullin in whatever way possible in prosecuting his claims against the County to be reimbursed for removing their tires from his property. I look forward to discussing this at the upcoming meeting. I will deliver a copy of this to Mr. Harper, and to the City Manager, so that everyone knows our position. Very tr, ly yours, Roland L.

This would appear to be a violation of his contract with the County, which might trigger the obligation under the performance bond which he posted. It might also create a potential claim against the County. As I understand it from speaking with the various licensing agencies, Mr. Borup has never been licensed to maintain a tire pile, or to transport these tires. Since the County has a direct contractual relationship with Borup, it seems to me that you might be in a position to put pressure on him to remove the tires from my client's premises.

Solid Waste a Theresa Eturaspe Yakima Solid Waste Yakima, Wa Re: Change in Baling Operations 365 0816 Dear Theresa, I decided to relocate my baling operations from the county 12ndfils to a private baling location at 802 Russell lane, Yakima, WA. I have chosen to do this for the following reasons: 1. Severe weather (both cold and hot) 2. Mud 3. The use of part time employees that will be working evening hours. I have secured a location that has been approved by the City of Yakima Department of Community and Economic Development. As well as approval from the Fire Code Inspector Nancy Danko. The location is a small baling and sorting yard that doesn't even have enough room to store the maximum amount of tires that are allowed by law. What I'm trying to say is, there will not be a major build up of tires as there isn't enough room_ This location was approved by Dan Valoff in City Planning and he declared this location exempt from any environmental requirements.

Claimant: Pacific Truck Parts, L.L.C. The business address for the last several years has been 13 East Washington Avenue, Yakima, Washington. 2. Circumstances of the Claim: Yakima County, through its various agencies, contracted with Scott Borup. Attached is a copy of the agreement with Mr. Borup. Subsequently, the County inspected and permitted Mr. Borup to move some of its waste from the Yakima landfill to property owned by the claimant. This waste material was tires and related items. Having removed the County's waste to the property owned by the claimant, the County has refused and continues to refuse to remove these tires from claimant's property. The County was negligent in its selection and hiring of Mr. Borup and negligent in its supervision of the activities of its contractor, Mr. Borup. Under State and Federal law, it is the claimant's position that the County must remove its waste material from the claimant's property, or, if this material is removed by the claimant, it is entitled to reimbursement from the County for expenses associated therewith. It is estimated at this time that the cost of removing this waste material will be between $20,000 and $50,000,•if it is not done by County personnel. 1 at SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON ' A ge►AND FORS-BENTON AND FRANKLIN COUNIIES 5— 2 —a•-59//1 ) ) ) ) E.

I'm pretty sure that this is one of those situations where one of the County's arms doesn't know what the other one is doing. Enclosed please find a copy of a letter I sent to Terry Austin on February 11, 2002, complaining about the fact that the County's tires are still located on Pacific Truck Parts' property in violation of the agreement that Mr. Borup had with the County and with Mr. Paullin. It is our position that these tires belong to Yakima County, and they should be removed. It seems to me that you are in the best position to do this. You have a performance bond, which can, and should pay for the cost of this removal. I realize that your letter may be a form letter, but it is certainly frustrating to hear the County say that we need to make arrangements to move the County's tires. I attach a letter I received from Brenda Schauers of the Travelers dated July 23, 2002. As you can see, they are fully aware of their obligation to the County and to my client. It seems to me that you are in the position to push the right buttons to get the Travelers to remove these tires. Mr. Charles Heath May 30, 2003 Page Two Let me know if we can help.

More specifically, your letter appears to confuse the City of Yakima's concern regarding your client's potential fire code violations with Yakima County's status as a contractor with Mr. Scott Borup. Regardless of the contractual relationship between Mr. Borup and Yakima County, and regardless of the relationship between Mr. Borup and your client, the City of Yakima cannot allow the tires to remain stored on your client's property in a manner violative of the Fire Code for an indefinite period of time. Pursuant to Yakima Municipal Code Section 10.05.100, and other provisions of the Yakima Municipal Code, including the Fire Code, the City of Yakima will be obligated to take enforcement actions if the fire hazard is not voluntarily abated. I trust you understand the City's concerns, particularly as we enter the upcoming summer months. Our anxiety is compounded by the fact that there no longer appears to be adequate site screening blocking access to the tire pile by vagrants, children, and others. It would be our view that securing the site for such public entry would be a constructive first step in ameliorating this problem. Yakima µAmrtfr�pry 1111! 1994 I would ask that you please give us an indication of your client's intentions within seven (7) days of the date of this letter.

REPORT ON RESEARCH Flipback to the Report on Research main page ► AGRICULTURE AND BIOSYSTEMS ENGINEERING Building Tires One UA Researchers Has High Hopes for Scrap Tires by David Barber Adjunct Professor Emeritus Stuart Hoenig, of the University of Arizona's department of agriculture and biosystems engineering, thinks he's on to the next wave in construction materials: scrap tires, especially for building houses. Actually, Professor Hoenig is known for carrying on a number of projects at once. One current project is a system for electrostatically taking water vapor out the air not really an Arizona problem, but one farmers in other parts of the country deal with daily. "For example the Midwest where they try to get two crops of hay," notes Hoenig. "The second crop gets rained on and you can't do anything with wet hay. This is a system that essentially dries out that hay." Hoenig notes that the same system is being used commercially by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. USDA developed a similar system for cleaning the air of dust and killing bacteria in chicken coops. The successful system is now sold by a private company. • Page 1 of 3 0 THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA UANEWS.ORG Stuart Hoenig, Professor Emeritus, department of agriculture and biosystems engineering. Hoenig has been at the University for 29 years. While he retired 6 years ago, he stays on as an adjunct to pursue research, though he no longer teaches. He received his doctorate from University of California -Berkeley in 1961, after receiving his bachelors degree at the University of Michigan. He received a number of offers but he and his wife did not want to stay in California. Though there were some bett salary offers, they choose Arizona for the climate and the University's reputation. Of the projects he is pursuing, he is most passionate about the varied uses of scrap tires, even for landscaping. The UA currently is monitoring one of his demonstration projects on campus. "You split the tire like a bagel, then you roll the grass back; put the tires down; fill them with dirt and roll the grass back," explains Hoenig. national expert in the use of scrap tires. "It uses about 50 percent of the water and the grass Looks great" iiThere are some 500 -million, used tires stockpiled in the United States, with a growth rate of the material equal to about 250 million per yea posing both a fire and environmental hazard. When they are placed in landfills, they tend to rise, prompting 33 states to ban their landfill placement all together. Because the expected life of used tires is some 20 years, they have become an economical substitute for traditional In fact, the University of Arizona is acting as an agent for a California colleague who has patented this use of split tires to save water. As another alternative to scrap tire disposal, the UA and other universities have been studying engineering applications for these scrap tires that would offer both cheap construction options and an environmental solution to a growing problem http://uanews.opi.arizona.edu/ror/summer02/tires.html 8/14/03 Report on Research I Scrap Tires Page L of .5 construction materials. In 2000, the nation used 32 million scrap tires (the amount generated annually in California alone) in civil engineering projects, up by 28 percent from 1999 and making it the largest end-use for scrap tires in the nation, second only to fuel. In Pima County, some 700,000 scrap tires find their way to landfills each year. Currently nine states including Arizona allow the use of whole tires for the construction of dams, erosion control, houses (New Mexico is currently the leader in that), fencing, rifle range bullet stops, bridge supports, terracing, playgrounds, and grain storage structures. Another use is as bedding for livestock corrals. The University of Southern California at San Luis Obispo has built a huge system of livestock bedding. The bedding, made-up of tire bales, allows the liquid from water and urine to drain, keeping the animals drier and preventing foot diseases. Though the UA's Agriculture farm at Roger Road isn't "officially" using the technique, Hoenig is trying to get the funds to pursue such a project. Another use being pursued by the Center for Integrated Waste Management at the State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo is usin scrap tires as a replacement for stone in septic tanks, a use that is on the rise. What the scrap tire advocates like Hoenig are hoping for is that home builders and subcontractors become more aware of the variety of applications scrap tires can be used for in home building. "The big thing is house construction, the installation is fantastic," says Hoenig. He feels that building inexpensive homes with tires would 'c great for poorer areas, particularly since the tires are free and construction doesn't take any special skills. "For example, Cochise County has an enormous pile of tires and they can't afford to haul them to Phoenix to get chopped up, so they're jus sitting there," says Hoenig. While chipped tires used in road construction and tire -derived fuel (TDF) are currently the best-known uses of scrap tires, it's the use of whole tires that has drawn Hoenig's interest. Whole tires can be "baled." There are a number of companies all over the USA that bale tires, with five in New Mexico alone. The highly portable baling equipment typically costs $100,000. Hoenig notes that there's one company tha bales in New Mexico that actually produces a square final product, ideal for building. The baled tires are used for tire wall construction for dams, fences and houses where they are stacked, rammed with earth, and covered wit stucco. Like rammed earth and straw bale, baled tire houses are well insulated and resistant to fire and insects. Though the center for scrap tire home construction is New Mexico, Hoenig hopes it will catch on in Arizona, despite restraints put on it by the state. "The state has some very archaic provisions," says Hoenig. "For example, you can't build a tire house in Tucson the way you can in New Mexico. You have to get special permission." That permission comes from the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality, the same agency Hoenig had to approach to build a scrap tire dam. He said they were very accommodating. In the southwest, typical wash and feeder arroyos frequently drop 10 feet per year due to erosion, and tires are being used to alleviate the problem and slow the flow of rushing water in the form retaining walls. In fact, dams constructed with baled tires cost 60 percent Less than concrete darn. Hoenig, and his University colleagues, are responsible for a tire bale erosion control structure at the King's Anvil Ranch 10 miles west of Tucson. Construction was supported by the Goodyear Tire Company and Phelps Dodge. They stacked and tied together the tires with half- inch plastic straps, filled them with gravel and covered them with chain-link mesh. Interestingly, the 1,200 tires were free and Pima County probationers supplied the free labor. The project was monitored by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality. The 30 -foot -long, 6 -foot -high tire dam cost $6,500 to design, estimated to be about $63,000 less the http://uanews.opi.arizona.edu/ror/summer02/tires.html 8/14/03 Report on Research I Scrap Tires Page 3 of 3 a comparable concrete dam. The dam has stopped has stopped sand some 5 feet deep and 30 feet wide from being lost into the arroyo. "The ranchers were very dubious of it at the time," notes Hoenig. "But now it's four years later and it has withstood two floods. Now they' convinced?' Arizona and eight other states allow construction of gomes, fencing, bridges and eroison control dams such as this one near Tucson. So convinced area ranchers are screaming for more dams. "They'd all like to have tire dams because they're cheap and they work well," says Hoenig. "Right now, we're trying to get some money to build more tire dams." As if he doesn't have enough projects going, he's recently received an request for a proposal from Pima County for a 100,000 -gallon Anaerobic Digester to break down organics in the county's growing garbage dumps. He's planning on using scrap tires line the site. Around the country other scrap tire construction projects abound: The U.S. Department of Interior has used whole tires for 20 years at the Salton Sea for erosion and dams. In New Mexico, a 4,400 -foot section of Lake Carlsbad was stabilized against erosion with tire bales. In this case the bales were covered with a thin layer o concrete for visual purposes. Twenty-five foot -high damn in Arkansas using more than 50,000 tires. California used 860,000 tires to fill in a freeway embankment of a $30 -million interchange reconstruction, due to be completed in 2004. In Maryland, scrap tires have been used for playground structures and ground cover in seven state parks.

CDOT-DTD-R-2002-11 In -Place Voids Monitoring of Hot Mix Asphalt Pavements Donna Harmelink, TimAschenbrener Recommends improving Colorado's hot mix asphalt design by adjusting the target mix design air void content. This will change constructed air voids while maintaining historic design void require- ments and ensure that additional asphalt cement is used to fill mix voids. CDOT-DTD-R-2003-1 Evaluation of Premature PCCP Longitudinal Cracking in Colorado AhmadArdani, Shamshad Hussain, Robert LaForce Concludes that the shallow depth of longitudinal saw -cuts at the shoulder joint was the main reason for premature longitudinal cracking in Region 1's concrete pavements. A new specification requires the engineer to measure saw -cut depths at intervals of 528 feet. These reports are available online: http:ll www.dot.state.co.uslpublicationsl ResearchReports.htm Wildlife Highway Crossing A recently completed study funded by CDOT determined that the locations where wild animals focus highway crossing activities are associated with certain characteristics of the surrounding habitat and of the roadway itself. These findings will help to maximize the cost and biological effectiveness of mitigation measures intended to reduce the impacts of highways on wildlife. The study was designed by Sarah Barnum, who conducted the research as a requirement of the Ph.D. program in Planning and Design at the University of Colorado at Denver. The final report will be available in early April. The study recorded where mule deer, elk, and coyotes crossed sections of highway along US 24, in the Trout Creek Pass area, and along I- 70, in the Vail Pass area for two years, in order to identify crossing "hotspots." Crossing locations were then correlated to features from the surrounding habitat and the roadway itself. The results indicate that both highway design and highway placement affect the level of impact a highway has on wildlife, as well as the success of mitigation projects designed to reduce those impacts. Highway design matters because animals avoid roadside barriers, such as guardrails, when crossing at -grade, while locations where drainages intersect the highway are more likely to be crossed unless they are bridged by structures that act as suitable underpasses (certain bridges and large culverts). Highway placement matters because (cont'd on page 3) Will the Coyote Cross the Highway? Using Buses for Speed Maps The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) currently provides comprehensive statewide traveler information. The goal is to provide reliable, accurate and timely information so that travelers can make informed decisions that enhance their choice of travel, mode, route and time, thereby resulting in a more productive, efficient and safe transportation system. One piece of traveler information that CDOT provides on limited segments of interstate highways in the Denver metro area is called speed maps. To produce CDOT's speed maps, vehicle speed data is collected from automatic traffic recorders (AIR), processed and posted on a map to reflect average vehicle speeds on a segment of roadway. Because this information depends exclusively upon having detectors on the roadway, and since the availability of placing detectors over extensive areas of roadway is limited, CDOT has been considering other means of acquiring information that could be used as a basis for speed maps. This information can be collected by using what is referred to as a "probe vehicle." does not have detectors. In 1993, RTD installed intelligent vehicle login units (IVLU) and global positioning systems (GPS) on its entire fleet, and an AVL system to improve and enhance fleet management. In December 2000, CDOT entered into a research project with the University of Colorado at Denver (UCD) to determine if automatic vehicle location (AVL) information from RTD buses (probe vehicles) could be used to accurately reflect vehicle speeds, evaluate AVL data in relation with ATR data, and develop an algorithm to use AVL data where CDOT UCD worked extensively with Rill to establish data collection processes and procedures, and collected data on a 13 -mile segment of I-25 and an 11 -mile segment of I-225. UCD analyzed that data in conjunction with the AIR data and incorporated weather condition and geometric characteristic data that were expected to have impacts on traffic conditions. An algorithm and model framework was developed using application of statistical techniques resulting in a logistic regression with proportional odds model selected. The model is statistically significant and predicts 94% of the responses correctly. The model certainly exceeded initial expectations. This research has demonstrated the feasibility of using bus location data to estimate traffic speed at regular intervals for highway segments. The data processing methods and the speed estimation algorithm have been developed, and the model may be implemented at the CDOT Traffic Operations Center so that speed map information can be expanded and provided as part of statewide traveler information to transportation users.

However, the study results indicate that no single set of variables identifies all crossing zones because each landscape and highway is unique, and the design of mitigation projects must therefore be approached individually. The study identified a basic set of guidelines that will direct each analysis. Contact Werner Hutter 303.757.9975 werner.hutter@adot.state.co.us Tire Bale Applications CDOT is sponsoring a Quick Study with the University of Colorado at Boulder to determine the feasibility of using tire bales in highway applications. If tire bales are found to be feasible for certain applications, this Quick Study will develop a detailed research plan for CDOT to develop construction/ material specifications and design guidelines for these applications. In addition, this Quick Study will determine the budget needed to execute this plan and explore financial support for these efforts from the FHWA Recycled Material Resource Center and from tire bale companies in Colorado. Recent estimates indicate that more than 2 billion waste passenger car and truck tires are currently stockpiled across the nation, with an additional 285 million tires added each year. In the last twelve years, new cost-effective means of disposing of waste tires have been introduced in civil/highway engineering applications, Since 1995, more than 70 civil engineering projects had been successfully completed in which tire shreds were used. However, there have been some instances in which tire shred projects have failed due to the occurrence of spontaneous combustion as a result of exothermic reactions (chemical reactions that produce heat). The fire hazard potential of tire shred fills has led to a search for alternative waste tire products, such as tire bales. Tire bales are constructed by compressing approximately 100 waste tires into a 2.5'x 4.5' x 5' bale, fastened with galvanized or stainless steel wire. Each bale weighs approximately 2000 pounds, and the result is a volume reduction of approximately 5 to 1. Baling machines are readily transportable and can be easily moved from site to site by towing the machine with a truck. By using whole tires instead of tire shreds, tire bales limit the fire hazard potential associated with tire shreds, as 110 steel beads are exposed in the final product. Interest in using tire bales in highway applications has recently increased nationwide. Chautauqua Typical Tire Bale County (New York) has used tire bales in roadbed construction for the past four years with excellent results and savings to taxpayers estimated at $830,241. In Texas, a slope failure was remediated using 320 tire bales and there is there is no indication of a repeat failure at this time. The Texas DOT is currently developing construction specifications for using tire bales in its highway embankments. The New Mexico DOT has successfully employed tire bale embankment technology: 700,000 scrap tires in 1 -ton bales were utilized as the prime fill in a 4,500- foot -long riverbank stabilization wall. Two separate plants in Colorado have begun forming tires into bales for storage and other uses. The use of tire bales is the most economically feasible method for recycling and disposal of large quantities of used tires in Colorado. Due to the small unit weight of the tire bales, using them in embankment applications or as a fill can be appropriate to reduce settlement problems and to exert very low lateral pressures. If this technique is adopted in highway embankment applications, Colorado taxpayers will save money, and the number of unsightly piles of tires in landfills will be reduced.
