Overview

Clarifies the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ)'s authority for regulating air quality through the permitting of open burning. Extends the Waste Tire Fund and Program.

History

Waste Tire Fund and Programs

The Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR) imposes a fee on the sale of motor vehicle tires. This fee is known as the waste tire fee and sales of tires themselves and tires on new vehicles are subject to the fee (A.R.S. § 44-1302). The monies from this fee are collected into the waste tire fund which is administered by ADOR. The waste tire fund is apportioned and paid to ADEQ for the Solid Waste Fee fund, tire cleanup expenses and counties for county waste tire programs (A.R.S. § 44.1305).

ADEQ's Regulation of Air Quality

ADEQ enforces the quality of environmental conditions through regulating air quality, waste programs and water quality. Used and waste tire facility rules are enforced by ADEQ's Waste Tire Compliance/Enforcement Program, which investigates complaints and enforces compliance (ADEQ).
