Inspections
Inspections are a core component of the grant and should be the area in which the
grantee spends most of its time and money.Grantees may perform inspections at a
variety of locations including on land owned by the federal or state government;
however,inspections may not be performed on land owned by tribal governments.
Inspection Priorities
Grantees shall perform inspections in accordance with the following order of priorities:
1.Inspect unpermitted and/or illegal waste tire piles having greater than 500 waste
tires at a location without authorization (Note:does not apply to unpermitted
exempt or excluded facilities as defined in 14 CCR 17225.822).Grantees shall
notify its CalRecycle inspector liaison within 48 hours.Grantees should attempt
to conduct a joint inspection with CalRecycle whenever possible.
2.Inspect other waste tire violations that pose an immediate risk or threat to public
health and safety,and the environment as pre-approved by their CalRecycle
inspector liaison.
3.Inspect TPIDs listed on the "Inspection Priority List"provided by CalRecycle with
your Notice to Proceed.Inspect other waste tire locations,operations and issues
as requested by CalRecycle.
4.Re-inspect TPIDs within 30 days of the compliance deadline when a Notice of
Violation is issued and documented on an Inspection Report.
5.Inspect other active*TPIDs after all CalRecycle requested inspections have been
performed.These inspections must be performed in order of date last inspected
(oldest first).
6.Inspect waste tire locations not covered by priority #1 above,including waste tire
operations and tire related issues,in response to requests or complaints received
from the general public,and from business and government representatives from
within the grantee's own jurisdiction.Grantees must obtain pre-approval from
their CalRecycle inspector liaison BEFORE performing these inspections.
Inspections of closed*,inactive*,and previously inspected small quantity
generators**MUST be pre-approved by CalRecycle.Failure to receive pre-
approval may result in the grantee not being reimbursed for costs associated
with the inspection.
*"Active,inactive,and closed"refers to the TPID's Business Status listed in the WTMS.
**"Small quantity generator"refers to the TPID's Business Role listed in the WTMS.
When a new waste tire generator TPID is created in WTMS,it is automatically
designated as a "small quantity generator"until waste tire manifest records submitted to
CalRecycle show 50 or more waste tires being generated from the TPID within a three-
year period.
Local Government Waste Tire Enforcement Grant Program,FY 2014-15 7
Inspection Location
In general,inspections should be performed at the site address shown in WTMS.If
WTMS shows both a site and mailing address for the TPID and the addresses are in
separate jurisdictions,grantees may only perform inspections of the TPID if the site
address is in their jurisdiction,or for Collaborative Jurisdictions,within the scope of their
Grant Agreements.
If there is no site address listed in WTMS,and if the mailing address is in the grantee's
jurisdiction,the grantee should contact the TPID representative to determine if the
mailing address is also the site address.If the mailing address is also the site address,
and the mailing/site address is in the grantee's jurisdiction or within the scope of the
Grant Agreement,the grantee may perform an inspection of that TPID. If there is a
separate site address,the grantee may only perform an inspection at the site address if
it is in the grantee's jurisdiction or within the scope of the Grant Agreement.In all
cases,when the grantee learns of the TPID's site address,that information must be
submitted to the Hauler Hotline or to the CalRecycle inspector assigned to the grantee
within 7 days and be noted on the Inspection Report.
Inspection Frequencies
Inspection frequencies have been incorporated into the "Inspection Priority List"and are
as follows:
• Only one routine inspection is allowed per active TPID.
• A maximum of two re-inspections may be performed per active TPID ifa Notice
of Violation was documented during the previous inspection.
•Referral inspections may be performed as needed ifa referral,complaint,or
other urgent information comes to the grantee's attention about a possible waste
tire violation.If an inspection is performed for any of those reasons,grantees
must note on the Inspection Report the information they received that
necessitated the inspection,and must mark "Referral"as the Inspection Type on
the Survey Form(CalRecycle 181).Grantees must obtain pre-approval from their
CalRecycle inspector liaison BEFORE performing these inspections.
• Only one observation inspection may be performed per active TPID per cycle,
and is allowed under limited circumstances.To qualify as an observation
inspection,the grantee must already be in the field and be prompted by an
observation to perform a spontaneous inspection.If an observation inspection is
performed,grantees must note on the Inspection Report the observation that
prompted the spontaneous inspection,and must mark "observation"as the
Inspection Type on the Survey Form (CalRecycle 181).An observation that
prompts a spontaneous inspection is generally something that appears to be in
violation of applicable waste tire laws and regulations.
NOTE:Additional inspections may be performed if pre-approved in writing by
CalRecycle.Unjustified duplicate inspections will not be reimbursed.
Inspection Reports
An Inspection Report documents what the Inspector observed during a field inspection
of the TPID's site address,including statements made by the owners/operators of the
site,as well as any statements or directives the Inspector made to the owner/operator.
Local Government Waste Tire Enforcement Grant Program,FY 2014-15 8
The Report should also include comments as to whether or not previous Areas of
Concern or Notices of Violation have been resolved.
A Report may include more than one piece of paper,or be transmitted using WTMS'
Web-based electronic inspection reporting system.It must include a Survey Form
(CalRecycle 181), and may include an Inspection Form (CalRecycle 182),Comments
Form (CalRecycle 183),and any other appropriate attachments such as photographs.
These forms must be ordered from CalRecycle;however,examples can be viewed at
http://www.calrecvcle.ca.goV/Tires/Enforcement/lnspections/Forms.htm#Sample.All
inspections should be thoroughly documented so that the Report provides complete and
accurate information in case future enforcement actions are taken.A Report should be
able to stand on its own without any explanations or additional information.
Some businesses have more than one role under its TPID.All business roles under
one TPID must be inspected during the same field/site inspection and must be
documented on one Report.Separate Reports are only allowed for separate TPIDs, not
separate roles under one TPID.
Ifthe Report documents a change of the TPID's Operational Status,the Inspector must
document on the report the observation or information that led to the conclusion that the
Operational Status should change.Definitions of Operational Status are found on the
back of the Survey Form (CalRecycle 181).
Reports may only be completed when the Inspector performs an inspection at the
TPID's site address.
•All reports should be submitted as expeditiously as possible,but not later than 30
days following the inspection date.Paper reports must be mailed to CalRecycle
as indicated below:

Notice of Violation
Ifa violation is identified during an inspection:
•Advise the tire business representative of the violation(s),issue the CalRecycle-
provided Notice of Violation (NOV)
(http://www.calrecycle.ca.g0v/Tires/Enforcement/lnspections/Forms.htm#NOV)
and informational sheets,and indicate on the Inspection Report in sufficient detail
to explain the violation and what needs to be corrected by the compliance
deadline date to comply.The compliance deadline date must be written on the
Inspection Report and should be no more than 30 days from the date of the
inspection.
o Re-inspect the tire business within 30 days of the NOV compliance deadline.
Ifa violation is not corrected at the time of the first re-inspection but a good
faith effort has been made,the grantee may extend the compliance deadline
date once.The Inspection Report should show the same violation(s)as
documented previously and indicate what corrections were made to justify an
extension and how the business is still in violation.The extended compliance
deadline date must be written on the inspection form at the time of re-
inspection.
o If the violation is not corrected by the second re-inspection,the grantee must
continue to cite the same codes being violated and the reasons for the
violation and refer the tire business and uncorrected violation(s)to
CalRecycle for further enforcement action.The referral must be noted on the
inspection form,and the grantee must complete and submit the CalRecycle
Referral Form (CalRecycle 228)
(http://www.calrecycle.ca.g0v/Tires/Enf0rcement/lnspecti0ns/F0rms.htm#Refe
rral).(Note that this form has been recently revised.)The referral should be
made within 30 days of the last re-inspection and must include evidence
collected,including Inspection Reports and photographs.
o If the violation is corrected after the first or second re-inspection,additional
inspections are allowed only ifa request,complaint or referral is received
about the TPID.
NOTE:Grantees may make referrals to CalRecycle after the first inspection based
upon the grantee's judgment of the severity of the non-compliance issue and the
responsiveness of the tire business.If the violation is significant,or if it is anticipated
that the violation will not be corrected,CalRecycle shall be notified immediately to allow
for an expedited issuance of a Cleanup and Abatement Order.
Maximum Hours Allowed Per Inspection
When grantees prepare and submit their Payment Request for reimbursement of actual
inspection costs,the maximum hours allowed per inspection depends on the grantee's
record keeping system.
If the grantee has a record keeping system that separately accumulates inspection
hours for each TPID inspected with a waste tire count of 500 or more,the grantee may
claim the actual number of hours spent on:
•Each TPID inspected with a waste tire count of 500 or more;and,
• All inspections with a waste tire count of 499 or fewer,as long as the average
actual hours per inspection are four (4)hours or less.
Local Government Waste Tire Enforcement Grant Program,FY 2014-15 10
For grantees that do not have the ability or desire to separately accumulate inspection
hours for each TPID inspected with a waste tire count of 500 or more,the grantee may
claim the actual number of hours spent on all inspections as long as the average actual
hours per inspection is four (4)hours or less.
NOTE:Time in and out,on the Inspection Report,does not limit reimbursable hours to
that period of time. Also,inspection preparation and report writing tasks may be
performed on days other than the date of the inspection.
In general,all activities related to planning and performing inspections of active
businesses with TPID numbers,preparing and submitting CalRecycle Survey and
Inspection Forms (CalRecycle 181 and 182),and tracking inspection results,are
eligible.

Grantees must maintain, and provide if requested,detailed timekeeping records of
personnel hours worked. For each pay period, the employee's timekeeping document
must contain at least the:
•Employee name and classification.
•Total hours worked and leave taken during the pay period.

o For grantees claiming actual hours forTPIDs inspected with a waste tire
count of 500 or more,the timekeeping documentation must also show the
hours per day for each of the TPIDs with a waste tire count of 500 or more.
Supervision of staff conducting eligible activities constitutes a direct grant cost;
therefore,grantees may claim under each Budget category a direct supervision time
and costs related to that category,as long as the supervision time and costs have not
been included as a component of a Board of Supervisors or Council Council-approved
rate,or an indirect,overhead or administrative rate.
Hourly Labor Rate
Grantees must choose one of the following options to determine how they charge the
grant for their employees'time spent on the TEA grant.
1.Many grantees have a fee or rate schedule that is approved bytheir Boardof
Supervisors or City Council.Grantees may use the Board or Council approved
hourly rate to calculate the value of employee time spent on eligible grant
activities.
A Board of Supervisors or City Council-approved rates include a variety of cost
components,such as:indirect,administrative and overhead costs; travel,
transportation and training;and, equipment,supplies and materials.Grantees
may only claim those costs directly against the grant if the cost calculations show
those costs were not included as a component of the Board of Supervisor or City
Council-approved rate.
2.Grantees that do not have a Board or Council approved rate,or who choose not
to use that rate, may calculate an hourly rate for each employee that includes
actual salary, wages, shift differentials,fringe benefits, and indirect/overhead
costs. Fringe benefits include, but are not limited to, the costs of leave earned
(such as vacation, sick leave,holidays),and the actual cost of employee
insurance,retirements and pensions,unemployment and disability benefit plans,
etc.Grantees must employ an indirect cost rate that is prepared annually by
their accounting,finance or budget office or external accounting contractor.
An indirect,administrative or overhead rate usually includes a large variety of
components,including items such as: supervisor costs; travel, transportation
and training;and, equipment, supplies and materials.Grantees may only claim
such costs directly against the grant ifthey can show that these costs were not
included as a component of the indirect, administrative or overhead rate.
Local GovernmentWaste Tire EnforcementGrant Program, FY2014-15 18
Grantees must maintain,and shall provide if requested,documentation to
support rates used,the components thereof,and demonstrate how they were
calculated.The documentation must provide a clear trail from the actual and
projected costs and components,through the rate determination process and
methodology,to the rate used.For grantees that do not use a Board or Council
approved rate, the grantee must demonstrate that the rate and supporting
methodology has been approved by the grantee's chief financial officer, or
equivalent,and was the rate in effect at the time.
Exceptions:An hourly labor rate in excess of the previously described limits is
allowable IF the rate is pre-approved,in writing, by the Grant Manager for
specially scheduled evening or weekend events,or when a law or labor contract
requires payment in excess of the employee's regular time hourly rate.
GRANT CLOSEOUT
The grantee initiates the closeout process when the Final Report, final Payment
Request, and other required supporting and closeout documents are submitted to the
Grant Manager.All purchases must be received, and alleligible payments made,
before the submission of the Final Report and final Payment Request.The Grant
