Oxford Energy had a major stake in a large local scrap tire pile operation. [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] When it mostly burnt down in 1997, it was the largest single collection of waste tires on the west coast. [7] [8]
Filbin had begun trucking used tires into Ed's Tire Disposal even before the construction of I-5 between 1956 and 1979. [12] Oxford Energy had been dumping near Westley in various piles since the 1950s. [7] [8]
Oxford Energy officials heard about it causing an eyesore and environmental blight and in 1984 approached both Filbin and the county, proposing the tire-to-energy project. However, it was turned down on environmental grounds. [12]
About 10,000-20,000 tires were being dumped there each day in 1957. It was under a 24-hour security guard. [12]
Some 40 years later the dump had grown to about 6,000,000 tires. In 1997, the state stepped in under a special local legislative mandate to dispose of them. [7] [8]
Shortly after a local photographer, Mr Burtynsky, had photographed Oxford Pile #8, a lightning strike in the facility started a fire that took weeks to extinguish. [7] [8]
