Answer 1

Tire Stockpile Cleanups: A project sponsor identifies tire stockpile locations and obtains estimates to have the tires removed and hauled to an approved facility, where the tires are shredded to a size no larger than two-inch chips.  Shredded tires are then sent to Big Stone Power Plant to be mixed with coal and burned to generate electricity.  Sponsors may request assistance with stockpile cleanups from the Solid Waste Management Program.  Applications are accepted quarterly.
