A Notice of Intent has been issued to advise responsible and trustee agencies as well as interested parties and those potentially affected by the project that the California Integrated Waste Management Board (IWMB or Board) has prepared a Negative Declaration (ND) for the following project.
Project Description
The project is to issue a minor waste tire facility permit (Facility No. 19-TI-1505) to Copper Chopper Incorporated for its facility located at 14928 South Maple Avenue, Gardena, Calif. 90248. A minor waste tire facility permit authorizes storage of up to 4,999 waste tires and requires the storage of those tires to meet waste tire storage and disposal standards and permit conditions set forth to minimize potential impacts to public health and safety and the environment. The approval and issuance of a waste tire facility permit is considered a discretionary decision and is therefore subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
