The draft Processing Permit is issued for the shredding and bagging of waste
tires. A separate draft Storage Permit is issued for the storage of waste tires and
computer waste. The maximum quantity to be processed is 30 tons of waste
tires. The maximum quantity to be stored is 75 tons of waste tires and 5 tons of

described in the draft Processing Permit and the draft Storage Permit.
