a. "End-user" means a facility, industry, utility, or operation where processed waste tires are recycled, reused, or consumed for energy recovery.
b. "Passenger tire equivalent" means the physical dimensions of a tire which has a rim diameter of sixteen and one-half inches or less.
c. "Tire processor" means a person who reduces waste tires into a processed form suitable for recycling or producing fuel for energy or heat, or uses whole waste tires in any other beneficial use as authorized by the department. "Tire processor" does not mean a person who retreads tires or processes and stores tires.
2. An end-user that annually recycles, reuses, or consumes for energy recovery more than two hundred fifty thousand processed waste tires may be awarded moneys pursuant to section 455D.11C, subsection 2, from the waste tire management fund of not more than ten cents per passenger tire equivalent processed and delivered to the end-user, at a reimbursement rate of no more than fifty percent of the costs incurred or paid per ton by the end-user to receive the processed waste tire materials. Moneys of not more than three hundred thousand dollars for such end-user awards shall be available in the aggregate in a fiscal year and shall be disbursed by the department upon application and approval to such end-users. An end- user shall not receive more than one hundred fifty thousand dollars from the waste tire management fund in a fiscal year. Funding allocations shall be made proportionately between eligible end-users in the event that funding requests exceed the total annual amount of moneys available. Moneys shall be available only for waste tires that have been generated from within the state and which are processed by and received from a tire processor located within the state. An end-user with a pending enforcement action against the end-user by the department relating to sections 455D.11 through 455D.11H shall be ineligible for consideration of reimbursement for any processed waste tire materials recycled, reused, or consumed for energy recovery while the enforcement action is pending. An end-user of processed waste tire material is encouraged to use moneys awarded under this subsection to increase the purchase and consumption of processed materials.
