History

The Oxford Tire Pile

Oxford Energy had a major stake in a major local scrap tire pile operation.[5][6][7][8][9][5][6] It was the largest single collection of waste tires on the west coast, when it mostly burnt down in 1997.[5][6]

Filbin had begun trucking used tires into Ed's Tire Disposal even before construction of I-5,[10] the road being built between 1956 and 1979, depending on location.[10] Oxford Energy had begun dumping near Westley in various piles since the 1950s.[5][6]

Oxford Energy officials heard about it causing an eyesore and environmental blight in 1984 and approached both Filbin and the county, proposing the tire-to-energy project, but it was turned down on environmental grounds.[10]

It was under a 24 hour security guarding regime in 1987.[10]

About 10,000-20,000 tires were being dumped thire dumped each day during 1987.[10]

In 1997, when dump had garown to about 6,000,000 tires during 1997 the state stepped in under a special local legislative mandate to dispose of them.[5][6]

Shortly after the local potographer, Mr Burtynsky, had photographed Oxford Pile #8 during 1997, a lightning strike in the facility started a fire in the old tire pile[5][6] that took weeks to extinguish.[5][6]
