"Conservation - Tires Thread"
From: Kerry Miller <ASTINGSH@KSUVM.BITNET>
A Reporter at Large, _NewYorker_,
28 June 1993
.....
The tires are from all sides of the bays of San Francisco and up and
down the Great Central Valley from Bakersfield to Sacramento. Even
before the interstate was there, a tire jockey named Ed Filbin began
collecting them -- charging dealers and gas stations 'tipping fees'
of so
much per passenger tire and so much per truck tire, as tire jockeys
do
everywhere. This was long before people began to worry, with regard
to
used tires, about mosquitoes, fires, landfills, and compounding
environmental concerns, or to look upon old tires as a minable
resource. Filbin's pile just grew, and he made enough money to
diversify,
becoming, as he is today, the largest sheep rancher in Nevada.
Meanwhile, his tire ranch near Modesto (Westley,Ca. ) continued to broaden and
thicken, until noone, including Filbin, knew how many tires were there.
Eventually, the state took notice -- and Filbin felt harassed. When
I
called him one day in Nevada, he sketched these people as 'dirty rotten
bureaucrats' and said, 'I told them to go jump in a crick, I had
grandfather rights.' With those words, he cradled his telephone,
refusing to say more........
.....
the calculator was reporting that in the world's largest known pile
there are 34 million tires.....
[great reading]
[at a buck or two per tire Filbin got rich from this crime.]

/suspects:
Ed Filbin
for raking in millions of dollars and dangerously stockpiling;
the county and state for turning a blind eye to a ticking
pollution bomb;
the EPA and state regulators for severely limiting innovation
in recycling-mining this resource.

More tire fire info
Burning of tyre piles produces smoke and toxic air pollutants,
including benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH).
The intense heat leads to the generation of pyrolytic oil that
mixes with extinguishing material, contaminating surrounding soils,
surface waters, and groundwater.
