Funding for Pilot Projects Partners in the Projects Details of the projects Future Impact Challenges
Rubberosion
This permeable mat can filter up to 150 gpm of stormwater
Manufacturers Erosion & Sediment control products made primarily from Recycled Tires
Stormwater Management Best Management
Practices BMP’s
Scope of Pilot Projects
Demonstrate the efficacy and durability of recycled tire BMP’S vs. traditional BMP’s
Monitor the financial impact Assure that the tire derived BMP’s
perform and meet industry design and performance standards
Partners in the Pilot Projects

Future Impact
Perimeter Control Miles are installed everyday. 1 mile of Tire Derived BMP’s = 31,680# of
rubber or 1,408 PTE’s Inlet Protection Check DamsGoal is to achieve 1 million PTE’s being used
as BMP’s annually in Colorado alone.
Future Utilization Demonstrate the economics and cost
savings for Tire Derived BMP’s Promote the added value benefits of Tire
Derived products vs. Traditional Gain government approvals for the use of
these products Work with large entities on the specification
of Tire Derived BMP’s on projects. Spark the development of new products
and applications for Tire Derived products
Challenges
Negative Tire Stigma Cost of Raw Materials Lack of funding to pursue new markets
and product development Time
Conclusion Demonstrate the true added value of
Tire Derived products vs. traditional products, and allow Tire Derived products to become a common product in the construction industry
Create relationships with consumers, end users, processors, regulatory agencies to continue the use and development of Tire Derived products
