Tire Sites

Locations of Waste Tire Program sites within Indiana, and is provided by personnel of Indiana Department of Environmental Management, Office of Land Quality (IDEM, OLQ). Attributes include site names, regulatory identification numbers (IDEM), and address information. Shows waste tire site locations. Tire Sites contain tires either for processing, for storage, or transport, as well as some illegal tire dumps, as defined by IC 13-11-2-251, IC 13-11-2-252, and IC 13-11-250.5 of the Indiana Code. The layer generally shows the locations of access points to managed sites, along with a unique identifier for each location. When waste tires are improperly stockpiled or illegally dumped, they trap rainwater and become breeding grounds for disease-carrying mosquitoes and rodents. Tire piles can also be a fire hazard. Tire fires are very difficult to extinguish, they release toxic gases into the air and leave behind an oily residue that can pollute streams and ground water. Waste tires need to be transported, processed and stored properly to prevent these problems.本数据集收录印第安纳州境内废旧轮胎项目场地的空间位置信息，数据由印第安纳州环境管理部土地质量办公室（Indiana Department of Environmental Management, Office of Land Quality, IDEM, OLQ）工作人员提供。该数据集包含场地名称、监管识别编号（IDEM）及地址信息等属性，用于展示废旧轮胎场地的分布位置。本数据集所覆盖的轮胎场地包括用于处理、存储或转运的轮胎堆放点，以及部分非法轮胎倾倒点，该分类定义符合《印第安纳州法典》（Indiana Code）中IC 13-11-2-251、IC 13-11-2-252及IC 13-11-250.5的条款要求。该空间图层通常会标注合规管理场地的接入点位置，并为每个点位分配唯一识别码。若废旧轮胎被不当堆存或非法倾倒，将积存雨水，成为携带致病病原体的蚊虫与啮齿类动物的滋生场所；轮胎堆垛还易引发火灾隐患。轮胎火灾极难扑灭，会向大气中释放有毒气体，并残留油性污染物，进而污染溪流与地下水。需对废旧轮胎实施合规转运、处理与存储，以规避上述各类环境与安全隐患。
