BOX 6399 AUGUSTA. GEORGIA 30906 TO: DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES GEORGIA ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION DIVISION ATTN: KRISTI CAMPBELL FROM: ARMANDO TOTKA AUGUSTA-RICHMOND COUNTY APPLIC~TION ATTACHMENT-A ;~ugusta-Richmond County Board of Commissioners welcomes the oppor':unity to apply for the Scrap Tire Enforcement Grant. Augus::a-Richmond County Government is geared toward enforcing the clean up of scrap tire piles and other solid wastes in the Augusta- Richmond County area. We understand that scrap tire piles are not only a sore site, but can also lead to health problems and potential hazards in our communities. However, by attaining this grant we will be able to combat illegal dumping of scrap tires and other solid wastes. Augusta-Richmond County is certainly interested in the Scrap Tire Enforcement Grant. Since Augusta is the second largest city in the state and there are about 150 scrap tire generators within our jurisdiction, there is a great need for a scrap tire enforcement grant. The scrap tire enforcement grant would be utilized for hirin9 a Scrap Tire Code Enforcement Officer, as well as a vehicle to perform inspections, operating costs, supplies, computer equipment, and communication equipment. This officer would inspect Augusta-Richmond County for scrap tire sites, as well as routinely inspect the scrap tire generators to see if there are any state and local laws that are violated. The officer will issue a quarterly report of existing scrap tire sites and other solid waste violations to Georgia EPD that will include: property owner name, home address, property address, estimated number of scrap tires, violation citations, and follow-ups. The Scrap Tire Enforcement Officer can also be utilized for inspecting other solid waste matters in the Augusta-Richmond County area. This is to ensure that }~ugusta-Richmond County is promoting better health, safety, and welfare for its citizens. AUGUSTA LICENSE & INSPECTION'DEPARTMENT ROBERT H, SHERMAN, III DIRECTOR 1815 MARVIN GRIFFIN RD P,O, BOX 6399 ", AUGUSTA, GEORGIA 30906 17061796-5050 FAX 796.5037 BUILDING PERMITS: 796-5050 BUSINESS UCENSE: 796-5053 ALCOHOL UCENSE: 796-5033 CODE ENFORCEMENT: 796.5049 Since we have such a large number of scrap tire generators, there is the possibility that scrap tire dumping exists. We envision that the position, "Scrap Tire Code Enforcement Officer," could drastically reduce the illegal dumping of scrap tires and other solid wastes. In 1997, through the scrap tire program grant and recycle grant, Augusta-Richmond County was successful in properly disposing nearly 675 tons of scrap tires. The grants enabled citizens who were financially unable to dispose scrap tires on their properties an opportunity to rid them. The Scrap Tire Code Enforcement Officer will routinely schedule visits to scrap tire facilities, as well as continuously inspect the entire Augusta-Richmond County area for illegal dumping of scrap tire sites and other solid wastes. The scrap tire code enforcement project results will be measured by the number of inspections performed, the number of scrap tire sites and solid wastes violations found, the number of cited violations, and the number of follow-up inspections. We alGo plan to develop enforcement ordinances that will enable us to be specific about the type of violations that are discovered. Throuqh proper training and education, Augusta-Richmond County will be ab:~e to develop better ordinances. Currently we have a property maintenance ordinance that protects neighborhoods against blighting and dE~teriorating influences or conditions that contribute to the downgrading of neighborhood property values, however this ordinance is too broad and needs to be detailed. Augusta-Richmond County is in compiiance with the Georgia Solid Waste Act and Rules. Since the License & Inspection Department already has a code enforcement division, the addition of a scrap tire code enforcement officer will enable us to inspect the tire handling facilities and search for existing scrap tire sites, as well as inspect other solid waste dumping. Since we are a consolidated government, we will be able to inspect the city limits of AU9usta, as well as all of Richmond County. We feel that the benefit from this grant will enable us to substantially reduce the number of scrap tires in our jurisdiction.. Augusta-Richmond County is wi.lling to comply with the "Expectations of Local Code Enforcement Officers". Thank you for taking the time in considering our application.
