  15. Special Permits • Emergency permit – short term storage of waste from storm, flood, or other emergency that causes imminent danger to human health or the environment. • Research, Development and Demonstration permit – treatment or disposal facility using innovative and experimental technology to demonstrate unproven technology. • Waste Tire registration – transporters, accumulators, and processors. • Petroleum contaminated soil facility – a facility where soil is treated to reduce hydrocarbon concentrations to an accepted regulatory level.

  16. Take Home • Understand wastestreams • Know which activities require a permit • Use emergency permits • Recognize when a pile of tires is too large • Know who to call
