Rule 3745-279-01 | Definitions- used oil management standards.
Effective:
March 24, 2017
(A) For purposes of Chapter 3745-279 of the Administrative Code: (1) "Aboveground tank" means a tank used to store or process used oil that is not an "underground storage tank" as defined in Chapter 1301:7-9 of the Administrative Code. (2) "Container" means any portable device in which a material is stored, transported, treated, disposed of, or otherwise handled. (3) "Do-it-yourselfer used oil collection center" means any site or facility that accepts or aggregates and stores used oil collected only from household do-it-yourselfers. (4) "Existing tank" means a tank that is used for the storage or processing of used oil and that is in operation, or for which installation has commenced, on or prior to October 20, 1998. Installation will be considered to have commenced if the owner or operator has obtained all federal, state, and local approvals or permits necessary to begin installation of the tank and if either: (a) A continuous on-site installation program has begun. (b) The owner or operator has entered into contractual obligations, which cannot be canceled or modified without substantial loss, for installation of the tank to be completed within a reasonable time. (5) "Household do-it-yourselfer used oil" means oil that is derived from households, such as used oil generated by individuals who generate used oil through the maintenance of personal vehicles. (6) "Household do-it-yourselfer used oil generator" means an individual who generates "household do-it-yourselfer used oil." (7) "New tank" means a tank used to store or process used oil and for which installation commenced after October 20, 1998. (8) "Petroleum refining facility" means an establishment primarily engaged in producing gasoline, kerosene, distillate fuel oils, residual fuel oils, and lubricants, through fractionation, straight distillation of crude oil, redistillation of unfinished petroleum derivatives, cracking, or other processes (i.e., facilities classified as SIC 2911). (9) "Processing" means chemical or physical operations designed to produce from used oil, or to make used oil more amenable for production of, fuel oils, lubricants, or other used oil-derived product. Processing includes, but is not limited to, blending used oil with virgin petroleum products, blending used oils to meet the fuel specification, filtration, simple distillation, chemical or physical separation and re-refining. (10) "Re-refining distillation bottoms" means the heavy fraction produced by vacuum distillation of filtered and dehydrated used oil. The composition of still bottoms varies with column operation and feedstock. (11) "Tank" means any stationary device, designed to contain an accumulation of used oil, which is constructed primarily of non-earthen materials (e.g., wood, concrete, steel, plastic) that provide structural support.

Used oil collection centers may also accept used oil from household do-it-yourselfers. (16) "Used oil fuel marketer" means any person who conducts either of the following activities: (a) Directs a shipment of off-specification used oil from the facility to a used oil burner. (b) First claims that used oil that is to be burned for energy recovery meets the used oil fuel specifications in rule 3745-279-11 of the Administrative Code. (17) "Used oil generator" means any person, by site, whose act or process produces used oil or whose act first causes used oil to become subject to regulation. (18) "Used oil processor or re-refiner" means a facility that processes used oil. (19) "Used oil transfer facility" means any transportation related facility including loading docks, parking areas, storage areas, and other areas where shipments of used oil are held for more than twenty-four hours and not longer than thirty-five days during the normal course of transportation or prior to an activity performed pursuant to paragraph (B)(2) of rule 3745-279-20 of the Administrative Code.

Rule 3745-279-10 | Applicability - recycled used oil management standards.
Effective:
October 5, 2020
This rule identifies those materials which are
subject to regulation as used oil under Chapter 3745-279 of the Administrative
Code. This rule also identifies some materials that are not subject to
regulation as used oil under Chapter 3745-279 of the Administrative Code, and
indicates whether these materials may be subject to regulation as hazardous
waste under Chapters 3745-50 to 3745-69, 3745-205, 3745-256, 3745-266, and
3745-270 of the Administrative Code. (A) Used oil. Ohio EPA presumes that used
oil is to be recycled unless a used oil handler disposes of used oil, or sends
used oil for disposal. Except as provided in rule 3745-279-11 of the
Administrative Code, Chapter 3745-279 of the Administrative Code applies to
used oil, and to materials identified in this rule as being subject to
regulation as used oil, whether or not the used oil or material exhibits any
characteristics of hazardous waste identified in rules 3745-51-20 to 3745-51-24
of the Administrative Code. (B) Mixtures of used oil and hazardous
waste. (1) Listed hazardous
waste. (a) Except as provided in paragraphs (B)(2) and (B)(3) of this
rule, mixtures of used oil and hazardous waste listed in rules 3745-51-30 to
3745-51-35 of the Administrative Code are subject to regulation as hazardous
waste under Chapters 3745-50 to 3745-69, 3745-205, 3745-256, 3745-266, and
3745-270 of the Administrative Code, rather than as used oil under Chapter
3745-279 of the Administrative Code. (b) Rebuttable presumption for used oil. Used oil that contains
more than one thousand parts per million (ppm) total halogens is presumed to be
a hazardous waste because the used oil has been mixed with halogenated
hazardous waste listed in rules 3745-51-30 to 3745-51-35 of the Administrative
Code. Persons may rebut this presumption by demonstrating that the used oil
does not contain hazardous waste (for example, by showing that the used oil
does not contain significant concentrations of halogenated hazardous
constituents listed in the appendix to rule 3745-51-11 of the Administrative
Code). (i) The rebuttable
presumption does not apply to metalworking oils or fluids that contain
chlorinated paraffins, if such oils or fluids are processed, through a tolling
arrangement as described in paragraph (C) of rule 3745-279-24 of the
Administrative Code, to reclaim metalworking oils or fluids. The presumption
does apply to metalworking oils or fluids if such oils or fluids are recycled
in any other manner, or disposed. (ii) The rebuttable
presumption does not apply to used oils contaminated with chlorofluorocarbons
(CFCs) removed from refrigeration units where the CFCs are destined for
reclamation. The rebuttable presumption does apply to used oils contaminated
with CFCs that have been mixed with used oil from sources other than
refrigeration units. (2) Characteristic
hazardous waste. Mixtures of used oil and hazardous waste that solely exhibit
one or more of the hazardous waste characteristics identified in rules
3745-51-20 to 3745-51-24 of the Administrative Code, and mixtures of used oil
and hazardous waste that is listed in rules 3745-51-30 to 3745-51-35 of the
Administrative Code solely because the listed hazardous waste exhibits one or
more of the characteristics of hazardous waste identified in rules 3745-51-20
to 3745-51-24 of the Administrative Code, are subject to one of the
following: (a) Except as provided in paragraph (B)(2)(c) of this rule,
regulation as hazardous waste under Chapters 3745-50 to 3745-69, 3745-205,
3745-256, 3745-266, and 3745-270 of the Administrative Code rather than as used
oil under Chapter 3745-279 of the Administrative Code, if the resultant mixture
exhibits any characteristics of hazardous waste identified in rules 3745-51-20
to 3745-51-24 of the Administrative Code. (b) Except as specified in paragraph (B)(2)(c) of this rule,
regulation as used oil under Chapter 3745-279 of the Administrative Code, if
the resultant mixture does not exhibit any characteristics of hazardous waste
identified under rules 3745-51-20 to 3745-51-24 of the Administrative
Code. (c) Regulation as used oil under Chapter 3745-279 of the
Administrative Code, if the mixture is of used oil and a waste which is
hazardous solely because the waste exhibits the characteristic of ignitability
(e.g., ignitable-only mineral spirits), provided that the resultant mixture
does not exhibit the characteristic of ignitability under rule 3745-51-21 of
the Administrative Code. (3) Very small quantity
generator hazardous waste. Mixtures of used oil and very small quantity
generator hazardous waste regulated under rule 3745-52-14 of the Administrative
Code are subject to regulation as used oil under Chapter 3745-279 of the
Administrative Code. (C) Materials that contains or is
otherwise contaminated with used oil. (1) Except as provided in
paragraph (C)(2) of this rule, materials that contain or are otherwise
contaminated with used oil from which the used oil has been properly drained or
removed to the extent possible such that no visible signs of free-flowing oil
remain in or on the material are both of the following: (a) Not used oil and thus not subject to Chapter 3745-279 of the
Administrative Code. (b) If applicable, subject to Chapters 3745-50 to 3745-69,
3745-205, 3745-256, 3745-266, and 3745-270 of the Administrative
Code. (2) Materials that
contain or are otherwise contaminated with used oil that are burned for energy
recovery are subject to regulation as used oil under Chapter 3745-279 of the
Administrative Code. (3) Used oil drained or
removed from materials that contain or otherwise are contaminated with used oil
is subject to regulation as used oil under Chapter 3745-279 of the
Administrative Code. (D) Mixtures of used oil with
products. (1) Except as provided in
paragraph (D)(2) of this rule, mixtures of used oil and fuels or other fuel
products are subject to regulation as used oil under Chapter 3745-279 of the
Administrative Code. (2) Mixtures of used oil
and diesel fuel mixed on-site by the generator of the used oil for use in the
generator's own vehicles are not subject to Chapter 3745-279 of the
Administrative Code once the used oil and diesel fuel have been mixed. Prior to
mixing, the used oil is subject to rules 3745-279-20 to 3745-279-24 of the
Administrative Code. (E) Materials derived from used
oil. (1) Materials that are
reclaimed from used oil that are used beneficially and are not burned for
energy recovery or used in a manner constituting disposal (e.g., re-refined
lubricants) are: (a) Not used oil and thus are not subject to Chapter 3745-279 of
the Administrative Code. (b) Not wastes and are thus not subject to Chapters 3745-50 to
3745-69, 3745-205, 3745-256, 3745-266, and 3745-270 of the Administrative Code
as provided in paragraph (C)(2)(a) of rule 3745-51-03 of the Administrative
Code. (2) Materials produced
from used oil that are burned for energy recovery (e.g., used oil fuels) are
subject to regulation as used oil under Chapter 3745-279 of the Administrative
Code. (3) Except as provided in
paragraph (E)(4) of this rule, materials derived from used oil that are
disposed of or used in a manner constituting disposal are both of the
following: (a) Not used oil and thus are not subject to Chapter 3745-279 of
the Administrative Code. (b) Wastes and thus are subject to Chapters 3745-50 to 3745-69,
3745-205, 3745-256, 3745-266, and 3745-270 of the Administrative Code if the
materials are listed or identified as hazardous wastes. (4) Used oil re-refining
distillation bottoms that are used as feedstock to manufacture asphalt products
are not subject to Chapter 3745-279 of the Administrative Code. (F) Wastewater. Wastewater, the discharge
of which is subject to regulation under either section 402 or section 307(b) of
the Clean Water Act (including wastewaters at facilities which have eliminated
the discharge of wastewater), contaminated with de minimis quantities of used
oil are not subject to the requirements of Chapter 3745-279 of the
Administrative Code. For purposes of this paragraph, "de minimis"
quantities of used oils are defined as small spills, leaks, or drippings from
pumps, machinery, pipes, and other similar equipment during normal operations
or small amounts of oil lost to the wastewater treatment system during washing
or draining operations. This exception shall not apply if the used oil is
discarded as a result of abnormal manufacturing operations resulting in
substantial leaks, spills, or other releases, or to used oil recovered from
wastewaters. (G) Used oil introduced into crude oil
pipelines or a petroleum refining facility. (1) Used oil mixed with
crude oil or natural gas liquids (e.g., in a production separator or crude oil
stock tank) for insertion into a crude oil pipeline is exempt from Chapter
3745-279 of the Administrative Code. The used oil is subject to Chapter
3745-279 of the Administrative Code prior to the mixing of used oil with crude
oil or natural gas liquids. (2) Mixtures of used oil
and crude oil or natural gas liquids containing less than one per cent used oil
that are being stored or transported to a crude oil pipeline or petroleum
refining facility for insertion into the refining process at a point prior to
crude distillation or catalytic cracking are exempt from Chapter 3745-279 of
the Administrative Code. (3) Used oil that is
inserted into the petroleum refining facility process before crude distillation
or catalytic cracking without prior mixing with crude oil is exempt from
Chapter 3745-279 of the Administrative Code provided that the used oil
constitutes less than one per cent of the crude oil feed to any petroleum
refining facility process unit at any given time. Prior to insertion into the
petroleum refining facility process, the used oil is subject to Chapter
3745-279 of the Administrative Code. (4) Except as provided in
paragraph (G)(5) of this rule, used oil that is introduced into a petroleum
refining facility process after crude distillation or catalytic cracking is
exempt from Chapter 3745-279 of the Administrative Code only if the used oil
meets the specifications of rule 3745-279-11 of the Administrative Code. Prior
to insertion into the petroleum refining facility process, the used oil is
subject to Chapter 3745-279 of the Administrative Code. (5) Used oil that is
incidentally captured by a hydrocarbon recovery system or wastewater treatment
system as part of routine process operations at a petroleum refining facility
and inserted into the petroleum refining facility process is exempt from
Chapter 3745-279 of the Administrative Code. This exemption does not extend to
used oil which is intentionally introduced into a hydrocarbon recovery system
(e.g., by pouring collected used oil into the wastewater treatment
system). (6) Tank bottoms from
stock tanks containing exempt mixtures of used oil and crude oil or natural gas
liquids are exempt from Chapter 3745-279 of the Administrative
Code. (H) Used oil on vessels. Used oil
produced on vessels from normal shipboard operations is not subject to Chapter
3745-279 of the Administrative Code until such used oil is transported
ashore. (I) Used oil containing polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCBs). Used oil that contains "PCBs," as defined at 40
C.F.R. 761.3, at any concentration less than fifty parts per million (ppm) is
subject to Chapter 3745-279 of the Administrative Code unless, because of
dilution, such used oil is regulated under 40 C.F.R. Part 761 as a used oil
that contains PCBs at fifty ppm or greater. PCB-containing used oil subject to
Chapter 3745-279 of the Administrative Code may also be subject to the
prohibitions and requirements of 40 C.F.R. Part 761, including 40 C.F.R.
761.20(d) and 40 C.F.R. 761.20(e). Used oil that contains PCBs at
concentrations of fifty ppm or greater is not subject to Chapter 3745-279 of
the Administrative Code, but is subject to regulation under 40 C.F.R. Part 761.
No person may avoid these provisions by diluting used oil that contains PCBs,
unless otherwise specifically provided for in Chapter 3745-279 of the
Administrative Code or in 40 C.F.R. Part 761. [Comment: For dates of non-regulatory government

Rule 3745-279-11 | Used oil specifications.
Effective:
September 5, 2010
Used oil burned for energy recovery, and any fuel produced from used oil by processing, blending, or other treatment, is subject to regulation under Chapter 3745-279 of the Administrative Code unless it is shown not to exceed any of the allowable levels of the constituents and properties shown in the table in this rule. Once used oil that is to be burned for energy recovery has been shown not to exceed any allowable level, and the person making that showing complies with rules 3745-279-72, 3745-279-73, and paragraphs (B) and (C) of rule 3745-279-74 of the Administrative Code, the used oil is no longer subject to Chapter 3745-279 of the Administrative Code. | Table: Used Oil Not Exceeding Any Allowable Level Shown In This Table Is Not Subject to Chapter 3745-279 of the Administrative Code When Burned for Energy Recovery1 | | Constituent/property | Allowable level | | Arsenic | 5 ppm maximum | | Cadmium | 2 ppm maximum | | Chromium | 10 ppm maximum | | Lead | 100 ppm maximum | | Flash point | 100 F minimum | | Total halogens | 4,000 ppm maximum2 | | 1 The allowable levels do not apply to mixtures of used oil and hazardous waste that continue to be regulated as hazardous waste [see paragraph (B) of rule 3745-279-10 of the Administrative Code]. | | 2 Used oil containing more than one thousand parts per million (ppm) total halogens is presumed to be a hazardous waste under the rebuttable presumption provided under paragraph (B)(1) of rule 3745-279-10 of the Administrative Code. Such used oil is subject to rules 3745-266-100 to 3745-266-112 of the Administrative Code rather than Chapter 3745-279 of the Administrative Code when burned for energy recovery unless the presumption of mixing can be successfully rebutted. |
[Comment 1: Applicable standards for the burning of used oil containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are imposed by 40 CFR 761.20(e).] [Comment 2: For dates of non-regulatory government publications, publications of recognized organizations and associations, federal rules, and federal statutory provisions referenced in this rule, see rule 3745-50-11 of the Administrative Code titled "Incorporated by reference."]

Rule 3745-279-20 | Applicability of standards for used oil generators.
Effective:
October 20, 1998
(A) General. Except as provided in paragraphs (A)(1) to (A)(4) of this rule, rules 3745-279-20 to 3745-279-24 of the Administrative Code apply to all used oil generators. A used oil generator is any person, by site, whose act or process produces used oil or whose act first causes used oil to become subject to regulation. (1) Household "do-it-yourselfer" used oil generators. Household "do-it-yourselfer" used oil generators are not subject to regulation under Chapter 3745-279 of the Administrative Code. (2) Vessels. Vessels at sea or at port are not subject to rules 3745-279-20 to 3745-279-24 of the Administrative Code. For purposes of rules 3745-279-20 to 3745-279-24 of the Administrative Code, used oil produced on vessels from normal shipboard operations is considered to be generated at the time it is transported ashore. The owner or operator of the vessel and the person(s) removing or accepting used oil from the vessel are co-generators of the used oil and are both responsible for managing the waste in compliance with rules 3745-279-20 to 3745-279-24 of the Administrative Code once the used oil is transported ashore. The co-generators may decide among them which party will fulfill the requirements of rules 3745-279-20 to 3745-279-24 of the Administrative Code. (3) Diesel fuel. Mixtures of used oil and diesel fuel mixed by the generator of the used oil for use in the generator's own vehicles are not subject to Chapter 3745-279 of the Administrative Code once the used oil and diesel fuel have been mixed. Prior to mixing, the used oil fuel is subject to the requirements of rules 3745-279-20 to 3745-279-24 of the Administrative Code. (4) Farmers. Farmers who generate an average of twenty five gallons per month or less of used oil from vehicles or machinery used on the farm in a calendar year are not subject to the requirements of Chapter 3745-279 of the Administrative Code. (B) Other applicable provisions. Used oil generators who conduct the following activities are subject to the requirements of other applicable provisions of Chapter 3745-279 of the Administrative Code as indicated in paragraphs (B)(1) to (B)(5) of this rule: (1) Generators who transport used oil, except under the self-transport provisions of paragraphs (A) and (B) of rule 3745-279-24 of the Administrative Code, shall also comply with rules 3745-279-40 to 3745-279-47 of the Administrative Code. (2) (a) Except as provided in paragraph (B)(2)(b) of this rule, generators who process or re-refine used oil shall also comply with rules 3745-279-50 to 3745-279-59 of the Administrative Code. (b) Generators who perform the following activities are not processors provided that the used oil is generated on-site and is not being sent directly off-site to a burner of on- or off-specification used oil fuel: (i) Filtering, cleaning, or otherwise reconditioning used oil before returning it for reuse by the generator; (ii) Separating used oil from wastewater generated on-site to make the wastewater acceptable for discharge or reuse pursuant to Chapter 6111. of the Revised Code, section 402 or section 307(b) of the Clean Water Act, or other applicable federal or state regulations governing the management or discharge of wastewaters; (iii) Using oil mist collectors to remove small droplets of used oil from in-plant air to make plant air suitable for continued recirculation; (iv) Draining or otherwise removing used oil from materials containing or otherwise contaminated with used oil in order to remove excessive oil to the extent possible pursuant to paragraph (C) of rule 3745-279-10 of the Administrative Code; (v) Filtering, separating, or otherwise reconditioning used oil before burning it in a space heater pursuant to rule 3745-279-23 of the Administrative Code. (3) Generators who burn off-specification used oil for energy recovery, except under the on-site space heater provisions of rule 3745-279-23 of the Administrative Code, shall also comply with rules 3745-279-60 to 3745-279-67 of the Administrative Code. (4) Generators who direct shipments of off-specification used oil from their facility directly to a used oil burner or first claim that used oil that is to be burned for energy recovery meets the used oil fuel specifications set forth in rule 3745-279-11 of the Administrative Code shall also comply with rules 3745-279-70 to 3745-279-75 of the Administrative Code. (5) Generators who dispose of used oil, including the use of used oil as a dust suppressant, shall also comply with rules 3745-279-80 to 3745-279-82 of the Administrative Code.

Rule 3745-279-21 | Hazardous waste mixing with used oil.
Effective:
October 20, 1998
(A) Mixtures of used oil and hazardous waste shall be managed in accordance with paragraph (B) of rule 3745-279-10 of the Administrative Code. (B) The rebuttable presumption for used oil of paragraph (B)(1)(b) of rule 3745-279-10 of the Administrative Code applies to used oil managed by generators. Under the rebuttable presumption for used oil of paragraph (B)(1)(b) of rule 3745-279-10 of the Administrative Code, used oil containing greater than one thousand parts per million (PPM) total halogens is presumed to be a hazardous waste and thus shall be managed as hazardous waste and not as used oil unless the presumption is rebutted. However, the rebuttable presumption does not apply to metalworking oils/fluids as described in paragraph (B)(1)(b)(i) of rule 3745-279-10 of the Administrative Code and used oils removed from refrigeration units as described in paragraph (B)(1)(b)(ii) of rule 3745-279-10 of the Administrative Code.

Rule 3745-279-44 | Rebuttable presumption for used oil for transporters.
Effective:
February 16, 2009
(A) To ensure that used oil is not a hazardous waste under the rebuttable presumption of paragraph (B)(1)(b) of rule 3745-279-10 of the Administrative Code, the used oil transporter must determine whether the total halogen content of used oil being transported or stored at a transfer facility is above or below one thousand parts per million (ppm). (B) The transporter must make this determination by: (1) Testing the used oil; or (2) Applying knowledge of the halogen content of the used oil in light of the materials or processes used. (C) If the used oil contains greater than or equal to one thousand ppm total halogens, it is presumed to be a hazardous waste because it has been mixed with halogenated hazardous waste listed in rules 3745-51-30 to 3745-51-35 of the Administrative Code. The owner or operator may rebut the presumption by demonstrating that the used oil does not contain hazardous waste (for example, showing that the used oil does not contain significant concentrations of halogenated hazardous constituents listed in the appendix to rule 3745-51-11 of the Administrative Code). (1) The rebuttable presumption does not apply to metalworking oils/fluids containing chlorinated paraffins, if they are processed, through a tolling arrangement as described in paragraph (C) of rule 3745-279-24 of the Administrative Code, to reclaim metalworking oils/fluids. The presumption does apply to metalworking oils/fluids if such oils/fluids are recycled in any other manner, or disposed. (2) The rebuttable presumption does not apply to used oils contaminated with chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) removed from refrigeration units if the CFCs are destined for reclamation. The rebuttable presumption does apply to used oils contaminated with CFCs that have been mixed with used oil from sources other than refrigeration units. (D) Record retention. Records of analyses conducted or information used to comply with paragraphs (A), (B), and (C) of this rule must be maintained by the transporter for at least three years.

materials involved, to the extent known. (e) The extent of
injuries, if any. (f) The possible hazards
to human health or the environment outside the facility. (e) During an emergency, the emergency coordinator shall take all
reasonable measures necessary to ensure that fires, explosions, and releases do
not occur, recur, or spread to other used oil or hazardous waste at the
facility. These measures shall include, where applicable, stopping processes
and operation, collecting and containing released used oil, and removing or
isolating containers. (f) If the facility stops operation in response to a fire,
explosion, or release, the emergency coordinator shall monitor for leaks,
pressure buildup, gas generation, or ruptures in valves, pipes, or other
equipment, wherever this is appropriate. (g) Immediately after an emergency, the emergency coordinator
shall provide for recycling, storing, or disposing of recovered used oil,
contaminated soil or surface water, or any other material that results from a
release, fire, or explosion at the facility. (h) The emergency coordinator shall ensure that in the affected
areas of the facility: (i) No waste or used oil
that may be incompatible with the released material is recycled, treated,
stored, or disposed of until cleanup procedures are completed. (ii) All emergency
equipment listed in the contingency plan is cleaned and fit for the
equipment's intended use before operations are resumed. (iii) The owner or
operator shall notify the director and appropriate state and local authorities
that the facility is in compliance with paragraphs (B)(6)(h)(i) and

Rule 3745-279-53 | Rebuttable presumption for used oil for processors and re-refiners.
Effective:
February 16, 2009
(A) To ensure that used oil managed at a processing/re-refining facility is not hazardous waste under the rebuttable presumption of paragraph (B)(1)(b) of rule 3745-279-10 of the Administrative Code, the owner or operator of a used oil processing/re-refining facility must determine whether the total halogen content of used oil managed at the facility is above or below one thousand parts per million (ppm). (B) The owner or operator must make this determination by: (1) Testing the used oil; or (2) Applying knowledge of the halogen content of the used oil in light of the materials or processes used. (C) If the used oil contains greater than or equal to one thousand ppm total halogens, it is presumed to be a hazardous waste because it has been mixed with halogenated hazardous waste listed in rules 3745-51-30 to 3745-51-35 of the Administrative Code. The owner or operator may rebut the presumption by demonstrating that the used oil does not contain hazardous waste (for example, by showing that the used oil does not contain significant concentrations of halogenated hazardous constituents listed in the appendix to rule 3745-51-11 of the Administrative Code). (1) The rebuttable presumption does not apply to metalworking oils/fluids containing chlorinated paraffins, if they are processed, through a tolling agreement as described in paragraph (C) of rule 3745-279-24 of the Administrative Code, to reclaim metalworking oils/fluids. The presumption does apply to metalworking oils/fluids if such oils/fluids are recycled in any other manner, or disposed. (2) The rebuttable presumption does not apply to used oils contaminated with chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) removed from refrigeration units where the CFCs are destined for reclamation. The rebuttable presumption does apply to used oils contaminated with CFCs that have been mixed with used oil from sources other than refrigeration units.

Rule 3745-279-63 | Rebuttable presumption for used oil for burners.
Effective:
February 16, 2009
(A) To ensure that used oil managed at a used oil burner facility is not hazardous waste under the rebuttable presumption of paragraph (B)(1)(b) of rule 3745-279-10 of the Administrative Code, a used oil burner must determine whether the total halogen content of used oil managed at the facility is above or below one thousand parts per million (ppm). (B) The used oil burner must determine if the used oil contains above or below one thousand ppm total halogens by: (1) Testing the used oil; (2) Applying knowledge of the halogen content of the used oil in light of the materials or processes used; or (3) If the used oil has been received from a processor/re-refiner subject to regulation under rules 3745-279-50 to 3745-279-59 of the Administrative Code, using information provided by the processor/re-refiner. (C) If the used oil contains greater than or equal to one thousand ppm total halogens, it is presumed to be a hazardous waste because it has been mixed with halogenated hazardous waste listed in rules 3745-51-30 to 3745-51-35 of the Administrative Code. The owner or operator may rebut the presumption by demonstrating that the used oil does not contain hazardous waste (for example, by showing that the used oil does not contain significant concentrations of halogenated hazardous constituents listed in the appendix to rule 3745-51-11 of the Administrative Code). (1) The rebuttable presumption does not apply to metal working oils/fluids containing chlorinated paraffins, if they are processed, through a tolling arrangement as described in paragraph (C) of rule 3745-279-24 of the Administrative Code, to reclaim metalworking oils/fluids. The presumption does apply to metalworking oils/fluids if such oils/fluids are recycled in any other manner, or disposed. (2) The rebuttable presumption does not apply to used oils contaminated with chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) removed from refrigeration units where the CFCs are destined for reclamation. The rebuttable presumption does apply to used oils contaminated with CFCs that have been mixed with used oil from sources other than refrigeration units. (D) Record retention. Records of analyses conducted or information used to comply with paragraphs (A), (B), and (C) of this rule must be maintained by the burner for at least three years.

(2) The entire containment system, including walls and floor, must be sufficiently impervious to used oil to prevent any used oil released into the containment system from migrating out of the system to the soil, ground water, or surface water. (D) Secondary containment for existing aboveground tanks. Existing aboveground tanks used to store used oil at burner facilities must be equipped with a secondary containment system. (1) The secondary containment system must consist of, at a minimum: (a) Dikes, berms or retaining walls; and (b) A floor. The floor must cover the entire area within the dike, berm, or retaining wall except areas where existing portions of the tank meet the ground; or (c) An equivalent secondary containment system. (2) The entire containment system, including walls and floor, must be sufficiently impervious to used oil to prevent any used oil released into the containment system from migrating out of the system to the soil, ground water, or surface water. (E) Secondary containment for new aboveground tanks. New aboveground tanks used to store used oil at burner facilities must be equipped with a secondary containment system. (1) The secondary containment system must consist of, at a minimum: (a) Dikes, berms or retaining walls; and (b) A floor. The floor must cover the entire area within the dike, berm, or retaining wall; or (c) An equivalent secondary containment system. (2) The entire containment system, including walls and floor, must be sufficiently impervious to used oil to prevent any used oil released into the containment system from migrating out of the system to the soil, ground water, or surface water. (F) Labels. (1) Containers and aboveground tanks used to store used oil at burner facilities must be labeled or marked clearly with the words "Used Oil." (2) Fill pipes used to transfer used oil into underground storage tanks at burner facilities must be labeled or marked clearly with the words "Used Oil." (G) Response to releases. Upon detection of a release of used oil to the environment that is not subject to the requirements of Chapter 1301:7-9 of the Administrative Code and which has occurred after October 20, 1998, a burner must perform the following cleanup steps: (1) Stop the release; (2) Contain the released used oil; (3) Clean up and manage properly the released used oil and other materials; and (4) If necessary, repair or replace any leaking used oil storage containers or tanks prior to returning them to service.

Rule 3745-279-70 | Applicability of standards for used oil fuel marketers.
Effective:
October 20, 1998
(A) Any person who conducts either of the following activities is subject to the requirements of rules 3745-279-70 to 3745-279-75 of the Administrative Code: (1) Directs a shipment of off-specification used oil from their facility to a used oil burner; or (2) First claims that used oil that is to be burned for energy recovery meets the used oil fuel specifications set forth in rule 3745-279-11 of the Administrative Code. (B) The following persons are not marketers subject to rules 3745-279-70 to 3745-279-75 of the Administrative Code: (1) Used oil generators, and transporters who transport used oil received only from generators, unless the generator or transporter directs a shipment of off-specification used oil from their facility to a used oil burner. However, processors/re-refiners who burn some used oil fuel for purposes of processing are considered to be burning incidentally to processing. Thus, generators and transporters who direct shipments of off-specification used oil to processor/re-refiners who incidently burn used oil are not marketers subject to rules 3745-279-70 to 3745-279-75 of the Administrative Code; (2) Persons who direct shipments of on-specification used oil and who are not the first person to claim the oil meets the used oil fuel specifications of rule 3745-279-11 of the Administrative Code. (C) Any person subject to the requirements of rules 3745-279-70 to 3745-279-75 of the Administrative Code shall also comply with one of the following: (1) Rules 3745-279-20 to 3745-279-24 of the Administrative Code-standards for used oil generators; (2) Rules 3745-279-40 to 3745-279-47 of the Administrative Code-standards for used oil transporters and transfer facilities; (3) Rules 3745-279-50 to 3745-279-59 of the Administrative Code-standards for used oil processors and re-refiners; or (4) Rules 3745-279-60 to 3745-279-67 of the Administrative Code-standards for used oil burners who burn off-specification used oil for energy recovery.
