1.0 Back ground and Purpose
New River Tire Recycling LLC has operated a scrap tire processing facility in Hillsville VA
for 4 years under a VA DEQ Permit by Rule. Due to market demand New River Tire
Recycling LLC has decided to relocate the entire operation to North Carolina, and apply for a
permit through the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources.

1.3 Aerial Mapping - 15A NCAC 13B.1106(d)(4)
A site location map, facility property boundary, and scrap tire collection and processing
facility layout is included in this plan. The operation is contained within two tracts of adjoining
land that is approximately 27.9 acres. See Appendix J.

1.4 Facility Operations – 15A NCAC13B.1106(d)(5)
Whole scrap tires arrive at the facility site on trailers, box trucks, or the equivalent
transport vehicle. When the vehicles arrive they are weighed on scales in the front of the
building. Then the vehicle is directed to the designated unloading area that is noted on the site
map. At the operators discretion some vehicles or trailers will be directed or placed in a trailer
storage area noted on the site map to be weighed at a later time. In the unloading area there
will be a trailer tipper that empties the trailer onto the outdoor concrete floor. Tires are sorted
as they are unloaded or from the #1 shredder in-feed belt. Tires suitable for resale are stacked
on trailers or in designated storage areas denoted on site map. Some Truck and OTR tires are
shredded in the truck line as noted on the map.

TDF LINE
Scrap tires are shredded through two Raptor shredders. After being shredded the chips
are conveyed outside to a storage area. Some of the tire chips are brought into the building to
be processed through the Raptor Wire line to separate the wire and rubber. The rubber is
conveyed into hoppers for inside storage or conveyed outside for storage in the shipping area.

TRUCK TIRE LINE

Truck tires are unloaded at one of 10 docks around the facility building. Truck tires are
unloaded and sorted inside or outside the building. The re-saleable tires are placed on a trailer
to be wholesaled. The truck tires are shredded through an SSI shredder and made into a 2”
3

chip. That chip remains outside until it is brought inside the building to be processed through
the Raptor Wire Line.

OTR TIRES
OTR tires are unloaded in the unloading area and are sold for water tanks, re-capping, or
sheared into pieces for shredding in one of the two shredding lines.

CRUMB LINE
At some times when there is market demand, NRTR may choose to process some of the
tire chips into crumb rubber. The process is through granulator(s) and/or cracker mills. The
process is laid out on the Machinery Layout, Appendix K.

1.5 Source and Quantity of Tires Received, Stored, Shipped Offsite – 15A
NCAC 13B.1106(d)(6)
New River Tire Recycling receives around 1,000 tons of waste tires per month. Most tires
received are from North Carolina, but some of the tires received are from Virginia, Tennessee

1.6 Plans for Disposition of All Tires Collected – 15A NCAC13B.1106(d)(7)
All tires received will be processed or sold into the re-usable markets.

1.7 Projected Date of Commencing Operations – 15A NCAC13B.1106(d)(8)
New River Tire Recycling LLC anticipates starting the collection and processing operation
on October 23, 2013, pending receiving the permit from DENR.

bond to ensure closure of the site in accordance with 15 NCAC 13B .1111. A copy of the Bond is
included in Appendix C.

2.0 PURPOSE
5

The purpose of this section is to demonstrate compliance with Siting Criteria per rule
15A NCAC 13B.1106(c).
2.1 Proximity to 100-year Flood Plain - 15A NCAC13B.1106(c)(1)
The operation is located outside the 100-year flood plain. See Appendix I

2.2 Buffer from Property Lines- 15A NCAC13B.1106(c)(2)
A minimum 50-foot buffer is maintained between the scrap tire storage areas and all
property lines.

2.3 Compliance with Zoning Ordinance - 15A NCAC13B.1106(c)(3)
The site is zoned GM, and is in compliance of all requirements of the Town of Pilot
Mountain. (See included zoning approval letter Appendix A).

2.4 Access Road - 15A NCAC13B.1106(c)(4)
There are two access roads for entry and exit that are sufficient for any vehicles to enter
and exit including emergency vehicles.

2.5 Drainage - 15A NCAC13B.1106(c)(5)
All drainage will fall under Storm Water Permit # NCG050416.

2.6 Sediment and Polution Control Law - 15A NCAC13B.1106(c)(6)
The site is all concrete or asphalt in construction of all areas where processing and storage
occur.

6

2.7 Visual Screening - 15A NCAC13B.1106(c)(7)
All operations will be contained within the roofed building or within building walls
(roofless). The walls are of sufficient height to provide all necessary screening.

2.8 Control of Access - 15A NCAC13B.1106(c)(8)
Access to the site is controlled by two entry/exit gates that are locked after business
hours. Business hours for receiving tires are 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Monday thru Friday. The
facility is totally enclosed by a 6 foot tall fence with 3 strands of barbed wire.

2.9 Liquid Runoff from Tire Fire - 15A NCAC13B.1106(c)(9)
The design of the facility storm drains allows for piles of dirt to be kept in close
proximity to each drain. In the event of a fire where liquid runoff is a concern, the dirt would
be used to berm the drains to prevent any runoff. After the drains are bermed, there is
sufficient surface area that is below grade to encapsulate extremely high volumes of liquid that
could be pumped or skimmed and treated if necessary.

2.10 Provider of Fire Protection Services - 15A NCAC13B.1106(c)(10)
Pilot Knob Volunteer Fire Department will respond to the facility address in the event of
a fire or emergency. The fire department is located at 683 S Key Street Pilot Mountain, NC
27041. (See Included Letter in Appendix B from Surry County Fire Marshall).
