Description:
This competitive tire grant program provides opportunities to divert waste tires from landfills, prevent illegal tire dumping, and promote markets for recycled-content tire products. The Program provides assistance to civil engineers in solving a variety of engineering challenges using Tire-Derived Aggregate (TDA), which is produced from shredded tires, is lightweight, free-draining, and a less expensive alternative to conventional aggregates.
Projects generally fall into one of five categories (see TDA Uses for more complete descriptions):
Category 1: Mechanically Stabilized TDA (retaining walls).
Category 2: Low Impact Development (storm water mitigation including storm water infiltration galleries).
Category 3: Lightweight fill (slope stabilization, embankment fill, landslide repair, and retaining walls).
Category 4: Vibration mitigation (under rail lines).
Category 5: Landfill application (aggregate replacement projects such as leachate and gas collection systems, drainage layers, leachate injection).
