Operations Inspection of the Scrap Metal, White Goods and Tire Collection Area 17. Scrap metal and white goods are collected on a concrete pad and are loaded into roll off containers. White goods containing refrigerants were stored separately. Four units were observed on their side during the inspection. Facility staff sent photos on the afternoon of September 7, 2022 showing the units had been turned upright. White goods containing refrigerants should be stored upright to help prevent the unintentional release of refrigerants into the environment. 18. Tires are usually stored in van trailers adjacent to the metal area; however, the facility has been having problems getting tire trailers and had to stack tires in a roll off container. 15A NCAC 13B .1107 (20)(c) states in part... "Whole and partial scrap tires capable of holding water shall be covered upon receipt with a water shedding material or disposed of, processed, or removed from the site within ten days of receipt."
