摘要：	This is the sixth annual Progress Report on Using Scrap Tires and Crumb Rubber in Texas Highway Construction Projects. This report represents the cooperative effort between the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to assess the scrap tire situation in Texas and identify beneficial uses of tires, including highway construction. During calendar years 2003 and 2004, both TCEQ and TxDOT oversaw significant progress in the states scrap tire situation. Major developments include the following: More Texas scrap tires were disposed of or used beneficially than were generated in calendar year 2003. The number of scrap tires disposed of or recycled was 24.3 million scrap tire units (STUs) in 2003, which was 300,000 more than were generated. The volume of scrap tire material stockpiled at previously registered scrap tire storage sites was reduced through industry and TCEQ efforts by approximately 15.2 million STUs during 2003 and an estimated 10.5 million STUs during 2004, representing a 41.5 percent reduction in state stockpile volumes since 2002; An existing cement kiln located near Abilene retrofit its facility to use tirederived fuel (TDF) and initiated tire burning operations. This facility is expected to consume from one to two million scrap tires as TDF annually and A new crumb rubber processing facility initiated operations in Denver City, Texas and is expected to increase the number of Texas scrap tires processed into crumb rubber.
