(Amendment)
DAR File No.: 38611
Filed: 06/13/2014 11:55:37 AMRULE ANALYSIS
Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:
The Division is proposing changes to the used oil rule, Rule R315-15, of the Utah Administrative Code. The proposed changes will make the rule clearer, consistent with current legislation and improve readability.
Summary of the rule or change:
The majority of the proposed changes clarifies existing language and incorporates changes in corresponding federal regulations. Changes include updated PCB standards, containment requirements, and filter regulations. Changes were also made to clarify the standards applicable to burners of on-specification and off-specification used oil. Provisions regarding used oil handler certificates were also clarified.
State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:
This rule or change incorporates by reference the following material:
- Adds 40 CFR 761 Subpart S, published by Government Printing Office, 07/01/2013
- Adds 40 CFR 761.20, published by Government Printing Office, 07/01/2013
Anticipated cost or savings to:
the state budget:
The cost to the state budget will not change because the proposed changes do not change the requirements of or administration of the used oil program.
local governments:
The cost to local governments will not change because the proposed changes do not change the requirements of or administration of the used oil program.
small businesses:
Secondary containment standards for ancillary piping may result in increased costs for some permitted facilities but that cost should be offset in the long run by reduced cleanup and closure costs. Current permitted facilities already comply with these proposed changes. In addition, some savings may be gained by permitted facilities by allowing flexibility in the secondary containment design. Most small businesses are only slightly affected by these proposed rule changes because most changes relate to permitted facilities. The regulated community provided input in the development of these proposed changes. Minor costs may be incurred by some used oil transporters to increase the size of the lettering on labels on their vehicles, but most already comply with the proposed changes. Rail loading requirements for permitted used oil transporters would only affect about ten or fewer companies and most of these are already required to follow these industry standards in their permits. Many of the used oil spills by permitted transporters documented during the last 20 years have occurred during rail loading, so transporters may actually lower their costs through minimizing cleanups at unpermitted rail sites.
persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local governmental entities:
The proposed changes for permit renewal will result in increased costs for current permittees. Some of the cost would be offset by savings due to reduction in the number of permit modifications.
Compliance costs for affected persons:
Estimated one-time cost of less than a $100 to upgrade signs on vehicles. The cost of permit renewal may be as high as $2,000 which will occur once every 10 years. Costs associated with other parts of the rule change will be offset by savings in cleanup costs.
Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:
Estimated one-time cost of less than a $100 to upgrade signs on vehicles. The cost of permit renewal may be as high as $2,000 which will occur once every 10 years. Costs associated with other parts of the rule change will be offset by savings in cleanup costs.

RULE TEXT
R315. Environmental Quality, Solid and Hazardous Waste.
R315-15. Standards for the Management of Used Oil.
R315-15-1. Applicability, Prohibitions, and Definitions.
1.1 APPLICABILITY
This section identifies those materials [
which]that are subject to regulation as used oil under [Section]R315-15. This section also identifies some materials that are not subject to regulation as used oil under [Rule]R315-15, and indicates whether these materials may be [subject to regulation]a[s] hazardous waste as defined under [Rules]R315-[1]2[through R315-14, and R315-50].(a) Used oil. It is presumed 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 [Section]R315-15-1.2, the requirements of [Rule]R315-15 apply to used oil, and to materials identified in this section as being subject to regulation as used oil, whether or not the used oil or material exhibits any characteristics of hazardous waste identified in [Section]R315-2-9.(b) Mixtures of used oil and hazardous waste.
(1) Listed hazardous waste.
(i) Mixtures of used oil and hazardous waste which are[
that is] listed in [Section]R315-2-10 are subject to regulation as hazardous waste under [Rules]R315-[1]2 [through R315-14, and R315-50,] rather than as used oil under [Rule]R315-15.(ii) Rebuttable presumption for used oil. Used oil containing more than 1,000 ppm total halogens is presumed to be a hazardous waste because it has been mixed with halogenated hazardous waste listed in [
Section]R315-2-10. A [P]person[s] may rebut this presumption by demonstrating that the used oil does not contain hazardous waste, for example, by using an analytical method from SW-846, Edition III, Update IV to show that the used oil does not contain significant concentrations of halogenated hazardous constituents listed in [Section]R315-50-10, which incorporates by reference 40 CFR 261, Appendix VIII.[. SW-846, Edition III, is available for review during normal business hours at the Utah Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste office, located at 288 North 1460 West, Salt Lake City, Utah. To schedule an appointment, call 801-538-6170.](A) The rebuttable presumption does not apply to metalworking oils/fluids containing chlorinated paraffins, if they are processed, through a tolling arrangement as described in [
Subsection]R315-15-2.5(c), 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.(B) 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. A [
M]mixture[s] of used oil and hazardous waste that solely exhibits one or more of the hazardous waste characteristics identified in [Section]R315-2-9 and a mixtures of used oil and hazardous waste that is listed in [Section]R315-2-10 solely because it exhibits one or more of the characteristics of hazardous waste identified in [Section]R315-2-9 are subject to:(i) Except as provided in [
Subsection]R315-15-1(b)(2)(iii), regulation as hazardous waste under [Rules]R315-1 through R315-14, and R315-50 rather than as used oil under [Rule]R315-15, if the resultant mixture exhibits any characteristics of hazardous waste identified in [Section]R315-2-9; or(ii) Except as specified in [
Subsection]R315-15-1.1(b)(2)(iii), regulation as used oil under [Rule]R315-15, if the resultant mixture does not exhibit any characteristics of hazardous waste identified under [Section]R315-2-9.(iii) Regulation as used oil under [
Rule]R315-15, if the mixture is of used oil and a waste which is hazardous solely because it exhibits the characteristic of ignitability, e.g., mineral spirits, provided that the mixture does not exhibit the characteristic of ignitability under [Subsection]R315-2-9(d).(3) Conditionally exempt small quantity generator hazardous waste. Mixtures of used oil and conditionally exempt small quantity generator hazardous waste regulated under [
Section]R315-2-5, which incorporates by reference 40 CFR 261.5, are subject to regulation as used oil under [Rule]R315-15.(c) Materials containing or otherwise contaminated with used oil.
(1) Except as provided in [
paragraph] R315-15-1.1(c)(2)[of this section,] materials containing or 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:(i) Are not used oil and thus not subject to [
Rule]R315-15, and(ii) If applicable , are subject to the hazardous waste regulations [
of Rules]R315-1 through R315-14, [and]R315-50, and R315-101 and 102.(2) Materials containing or otherwise contaminated with used oil that are burned for energy recovery are subject to regulation as used oil under [
Rule]R315-15.(3) Used oil drained or removed from materials containing or otherwise contaminated with used oil is subject to regulation as used oil under [
Rule]R315-15.(d) Mixtures of used oil with products.
(1) Except as provided in [
paragraph](d)(2) [of this section,]mixtures of used oil and fuels or other fuel products are subject to regulation as used oil under [Rule]R315-15.(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 [Rule]R315-15 [once]after the used oil and diesel fuel have been mixed. Prior to mixing, the used oil is subject to the requirements of [Section]R315-15-2.(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:
(i) Not used oil and thus are not subject to [
Rule]R315-15, and(ii) Not solid wastes and are thus not subject to the hazardous waste regulations of [
Rules]R315-1 through R315-14[,] and R315-50 as provided in [Subsection]R315-2-3(c)(2)(i).(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 [
Rule]R315-15.(3) Except as provided in R315-15.1.1[
paragraph](e)(4)[of this section], materials derived from used oil that are disposed of or used in a manner constituting disposal are:(i) Not used oil and thus are not subject to [
Rule]R315-15, and(ii) Are solid wastes and thus are subject to the hazardous waste regulations [
of Rules]R315-1 through R315-14, and R315-50 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 [
Rule]R315-15.(f) Wastewater. Wastewater[
,]contaminated with de minimis quantities of used oil, 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]that have eliminated the discharge of wastewater, [contaminated with de minimis quantities of used oil]are not subject to the requirements of Rule R315-15. For purposes of this paragraph only, "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 does 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 the requirements of [
Rule]R315-15. The used oil is subject to the requirements of [Rule]R315-15 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 1% 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 the requirements of [
Rule]R315-15.(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 the requirements of [
Rule]R315-15 , provided that the used oil constitutes less than 1% 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 the requirements of [Rule]R315-15.(4) Except as provided in [
paragraph]R315-15-1.1 (g)(5)[of this section], used oil that is introduced into a petroleum refining facility process after crude distillation or catalytic cracking is exempt from the requirements of [Rule]R315-15 only if the used oil meets the specification of [Section]R315-15-1.2. Prior to insertion into the petroleum refining facility process, the used oil is subject to the requirements of [Rule]R315-15.(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 the requirements of [
Rule]R315-15. This exemption does not extend to used oil [which]that is intentionally introduced into a hydrocarbon recovery system, e.g., by pouring collected used oil into the waste water treatment system.(6) Tank bottoms from stock tanks containing exempt mixtures of used oil and crude oil or natural gas liquids are exempt from the requirements of [
Rule]R315-15.(h) Used oil on vessels. Used oil produced on vessels from normal shipboard operations is not subject to Rule R315-15 until it is transported ashore.
(i) Used oil containing PCBs. In addition to the requirements of [
Rule]R315-15, marketers and burners of used oil who market used oil containing [any quantifiable level of]PCBs at concentrations greater than or equal to 2 ppm are subject to the requirements found in R315-15-8 and 40 CFR 761.20(e).(j) Inspections. Any duly authorized [
officer,]employee [or representative of the Department or the Board may]of the Director, may, at any reasonable time and upon presentation of [appropriate]credentials, [and upon providing the opportunity to have a representative of the owner, operator, or agent in charge to be present, enter upon and inspect any property, premise, or place on or at which used oil is generated, transported, stored, treated or disposed of, and may]have access to and the right to copy any records relating to used oil, and inspect, audit, or sample. [for purpose of ascertaining the compliance with Rule R315-15.] The employee[Those persons referred to in this section]may also make record of the inspection by photographic, electronic, audio, video, or any other reasonable means.[inspect any waste and obtain samples thereof, including samples from any vehicle in which wastes are being transported or samples of any containers or labels. Any person obtaining samples shall give to the owner, operator or agent a receipt describing the sample obtained and, if requested, a portion of each sample of waste equal in volume or weight to the portion retained. If any analysis is made of those samples, a copy of the results of that analysis shall be furnished promptly to the owner, operator, or agent in charge.](k) Violations, Orders, and Hearings. If the [
Executive Secretary]Director has reason to believe a person is in violation of any provision of [Rule]R315-15, procedural requirements for compliance [or cessation]shall follow [Section]Utah Code Annotated 19-6-721 and Utah Administrative Code R305-7.1.2 USED OIL SPECIFICATIONS
Used oil burned for energy recovery, and any fuel produced from used oil by processing, blending, or other treatment, is subject to regulation under [
Rule]R315-15 until:[unless it is shown not to exceed any of the allowable levels of the constituents and properties in the specification shown in Table 1.](a) It has been demonstrated not to exceed any allowable levels of the constituents and properties shown in Table 1;
(b) [
Once used oil that is to be burned for energy recovery has been shown not to exceed any specification and t]The person making that claim complies with [Sections]R315-15-7.3, R315-15-7.4, and [Subsection]R315-15-7.5(b)[,]; and(c) The used oil is delivered to a used oil burner.[
the used oil is no longer subject to Section R315-15-6.]TABLE 1
USED OIL NOT EXCEEDING ANY ALLOWABLE[SPECIFICATION] LEVEL IS NOT
SUBJECT TO R315-15-6 WHEN BURNED FOR ENERGY RECOVERY(1)Constituent/property Allowable level Arsenic 5 ppm maximum Cadmium 2 ppm maximum Chromium 10 ppm maximum Lead 100 ppm maximum Flash point 100 degrees F minimum Total halogens 4,000 ppm maximum(2) (1) The [
specification]allowable levels in Table 1 do[es] not apply to mixtures of used oil and hazardous waste that continue to be regulated as hazardous waste.[,] S[s]ee [Subsection]R315-15-1.1(b). (2) Used oil containing more than 1,000 ppm total halogens is presumed to be a hazardous waste under the rebuttable presumption[provided under] described in [Subsection] R315-15-1.1(b)(1). Such used oil is subject to [Section] R315-14-7[, which incorporates by reference40 CFR 266 Subpart H], rather than [Rule]R315-15 when burned for energy recovery unless the presumption of mixing can be successfully rebutted. Note: Applicable standards for the marketing and burning of used oil containing any quantifiable level (2 ppm) of PCBs are found in [imposed by]40 CFR 761.20(e), 2013 edition, incorporated by reference, and R315-15-18. Prohibition of PCB oil dilution is described in 40 CFR 279.10 and 40 CFR 761.2(e).1.3 PROHIBITIONS
Except as authorized by the [
Board]Director, a person may not place, discard, or otherwise dispose of used oil in any of the following manner s:(a) Surface impoundment and waste piles[
prohibition]. Used oil shall not be managed in surface impoundments or waste piles unless the units are subject to regulation under [Rule]R315-7 or R315-8.(b) Use as a dust suppressant, weed suppressant, or for road oiling. The use of used oil as a dust suppressant, weed suppressant, or for road oiling or other similar use is prohibited. Any disposal of used oil on the ground is prohibited under [
Subsection]Utah Code Annotated 19-6-706(1)(a)(iii).(c) A person may not mix or commingle used oil with the following substances, except as incidental to the normal course of processing, mechanical, or industrial operations:
(1) Solid waste that is to be disposed of in any solid waste treatment, storage, or disposal facility, except as authorized by the [
Board]Director; or(2) Any hazardous waste so the resulting mixture may not be recycled or used for other beneficial purpose as authorized under [
Rule]R315-15.(d) Used oil shall not be disposed in a solid waste treatment, storage, or disposal facility, except for the disposal of hazardous used oil as authorized under R315-2.
(e) Used oil shall not be disposed in sewers, drainage systems, septic tanks, surface or ground waters, watercourses, or any body of water.[
;]1.4 BURNING IN PARTICULAR UNITS
Burning in particular units. Off-specification used oil fuel may be burned for energy recovery only in the devices described in [
Subsection]R315-15-6.2(a).1.5 DISPOSAL OF DE MINIMIS USED OIL
(a) [
Section]R315-15-1.3 does not apply to release of de minimis quantities of used oil identified under [Subsection]Utah Code Annotated 19-6-706(4)(a) except for the requirements of 19-6-706(i) and (ii).(b) A person may dispose of an item or substance that contains de minimis amounts of oil in disposal facilities in accordance with Utah Code Annotated 19-6-706 (2) (a) if:

possible all oil has been]removed from the item or substance; and(2) No free flowing oil remains in the item or substance.
1.6 [
DISPOSAL OF]USED OIL FILTERS(a) Disposal of Used Oil Filters. A person may dispose of a nonterne plated used oil filter as a non-hazardous solid waste when that filter is gravity hot-drained by one of the methods described in R315-15-1.6(b) and is not mixed with hazardous waste defined in R315-2.[
that meets the exclusion of Subsection R315-2-4(b)(14) and is not mixed with hazardous waste defined by Rule R315-2.](b) "Gravity hot-drained" means drained for not less than 12 hours near operating temperature but above 60 degrees Fahrenheit. A nonterne used oil filter is a container of used oil and is subject to R315-15 until it is gravity hot-drained by one of the following methods:
(1) puncturing the filter anti-drain back valve or the filter dome end and gravity hot-draining;
(2) gravity hot-draining and crushing;
(3) dismantling and gravity hot-draining; or
(4) any other equivalent gravity hot-draining method authorized by the Director that will remove used oil from the filter at least as effectively as the methods listed in R315-15-1.6(b)(1) through (3).
1.7 DEFINITIONS
(a) Definitions of terms used in [
Rule]R315-15 are found in: R315-1.7(b) through (j); and R315-1-1.[incorporated by reference in Section R315-1-1.](b) The [
definition of the]term "de minimis["] quantities of used oil" [as used in Rule R315-15]defined in [has the same meaning as in Subsection]Utah Code Annotated 19-6-706(4)(b), and 19-6-708(3)(a) means small spills, leaks, or drippings from pumps, machinery, pipes, and other similar equipment during normal operations and does not apply to used oil discarded as a result of abnormal operations resulting in substantial leaks, spills, or other releases. Nor does it apply to accumulations of quantities of used oil that pose a potential threat to human health or the environment.(c) [
The definition of the term]"[f]Financial responsibility" [as used in Rule R315-15]means the mechanism by which a person who has a financial obligation satisfies that obligation.(d) "Used oil" means any oil, refined from crude oil or synthetic oil, that has been used and as a result of that use is contaminated by physical or chemical impurities. Used oil includes engine oil, transmission fluid, compressor oils, metalworking oils, hydraulic oil, brake fluid, oils used as buoyants, lubricating greases, electrical insulating, and dialectic oils.
(e) "Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)" means any chemical substance that is limited to the biphenyl molecule that has been chlorinated to varying degrees or any combination of substances which contains such substance.
(f) "On-specification used oil" means used oil that does not exceed levels of constituents and properties specified in R315-15-1.2.
(g) " Off-specification used oil" means used oil that exceeds levels of constituents and properties specified in R315-15-1.2.
(h) "Parts per million (ppm)" means a weight-per-weight ratio used to describe concentrations. Parts per million (ppm) is the number of units of mass of a contaminant per million units of total mass (e.g., micrograms per gram).
1.8 LABORATORY ANALYSES
Laboratory analyses used to satisfy the requirements of R315-15 shall be performed by a laboratory that holds a current Utah Certification for environmental laboratories issued by the Utah Department of Health, Laboratory Improvement under R444-14 Utah Administrative Code. The laboratory shall be certified for the method(s) and analyte(s) applied to generate the environmental data.
R315-15-2. Standards for Used Oil Generators.
2.1 APPLICABILITY
(a) General. Except as provided in paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(4) of this section, [
Section]R315-15-2 applies 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 [
Rule]R315-15, except for the prohibitions of [Section]R315-15-1.3 and cleanup requirements of R315-15-9.(2) Vessels. Vessels at sea or at port are not subject to [
Section]R315-15-2. For purposes of [Section]R315-15-2, 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 used oil[waste] in compliance with [Section]R315-15-2 once the used oil is transported ashore. The co-generators may decide among themselves which party will fulfill the requirements of [Section]R315-15-2.(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 [
Rule]R315-15 once the used oil and diesel fuel have been mixed. Prior to mixing, the used oil fuel is subject to the requirements of [Section]R315-15-2.(4) Farmers. Farmers who generate an average of 25 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 [
Rule]R315-15, except for the prohibitions of [Section]R315-15-1.3 and cleanup requirements of R315-15-9.(b) Other applicable provisions. Used oil generators who conduct the following activities are subject to the requirements of other applicable provisions of [
Rule]R315-15 as indicated in [paragraphs]R315-15.2.1(b)(1) through (5)[of this section]:(1) Generators who transport used oil, except under the self-transport provisions of [
Subsections]R315-15-2.5(a) and (b), shall also comply with [Section]R315-15-4.(2)(i) Except as provided in [
paragraph]R315-15-2.1(b)(2)(ii)[of this section], generators who process or re-refine used oil must also comply with [Section]R315-15-5.(ii) Generators who perform the following activities are not processors , provided that the used oil is generated on[
-]site and is not being sent off[-]site to a burner of on- or off-specification used oil fuel.(A) Filtering, cleaning, or otherwise reconditioning used oil before returning it for reuse by the generator;
(B) Separating used oil from wastewater generated on[
-]site to make the wastewater acceptable for discharge or reuse [pursuant]in accordance with [to] section 402 or section 307(b) of the Clean Water Act or other applicable Federal or state regulations governing the management or discharge of wastewater;(C) Using oil mist collectors to remove small droplets of used oil from in-plant air to make plant air suitable for continued recirculation;
(D) Draining or otherwise removing used oil from materials containing or otherwise contaminated with used oil in order to remove excessive used oil to the extent possible [
pursuant]in accordance with [to Subsection]R315-15-1.1(c); or(E) Filtering, separating or otherwise reconditioning used oil before burning it in a space heater in accordance with[
pursuant to Section]R315-15-2.4.(3) Generators who burn off-specification used oil for energy recovery, [
except under the on-site space heater provisions of Section R315-15-2.4,]shall also comply with [Section]R315-15-6.(4) Generators who direct shipments of off-specification used oil from their facility to a used oil burner or first certify[
claim] that used oil that is to be burned for energy recovery meets the used oil fuel specifications set forth in [Section]R315-15-1.2 shall also comply with [Section]R315-15-7.(5) Generators who dispose of used oil shall also comply with [
Section]R315-15-8.2.2 HAZARDOUS WASTE MIXING
(a) Mixtures of used oil and hazardous waste shall be managed in accordance with [
Subsection]R315-15-1.1(b).(b) The rebuttable presumption for used oil found in[
of Subsection]R315-15-1.1(b)(1)(ii) applies to used oil managed by generators. Under this[the] rebuttable presumption[for used oil of Subsection R315-15-1.1(b)(1)(ii)], used oil containing greater than 1,000 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 certain metalworking oil or[/]fluids containing chlorinated paraffins, if they are processed through a tolling agreement to reclaim the metalworking oils or fluids, and certain used oils removed from refrigeration units described in R315-15-1.1(b)(1)(ii)(B).2.3 USED OIL STORAGE
Used oil generators are subject to all applicable Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures, 40 CFR [
part]112, in addition to the requirements of [Section]R315-15-2. Used oil generators are also subject to the standards and requirements of [Rules]R311-200 through R311-209, Underground Storage Tanks, for used oil stored in underground tanks whether or not the used oil exhibits any characteristics of hazardous waste[,]. In[in] addition, used oil generators are subject to the requirements of [Section]R315-15-2.(a) Storage units. Used oil generators shall not store used oil in units other than tanks, containers, or units subject to regulation under [
Rule]R315-7 or R315-8.(b) Condition of units. Containers and aboveground tanks used to store used oil at generator facilities shall be:
(1) In good condition, with no severe rusting, apparent structural defects or deterioration; and
(2) Not leaking[
(no visible leaks)].(3) Tanks and containers for storage of used oil must be closed during storage except when adding or removing used oil.
(4) Tanks and containers storage areas shall be managed to prevent releases of used oil to the environment.
(c) Labels.

5.4 REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION FOR USED OIL
(a) To ensure that used oil managed at a processing/re-refining facility is not hazardous waste under the rebuttable presumption of [
Subsection]R315-15-1.1(b)(1)(ii), the owner or operator of a used oil processing/re-refining facility shall determine whether the total halogen content of used oil managed at the facility is above or below 1,000 ppm.(b) The owner or operator shall make this determination by:
(1) Testing the used oil; or
(2) Applying and documenting generator 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 1,000 ppm total halogens, it is presumed to be a hazardous waste because it has been mixed with halogenated hazardous waste listed in [
Section]R315-2-10. The owner or operator may rebut the presumption by demonstrating that the used oil does not contain hazardous waste, for example, by using an analytical method from EPA SW-846, Edition III, Update IV to show that the used oil does not contain significant concentrations of halogenated hazardous constituents listed in [Section]R315-50-10[, which incorporates by reference 40 CFR 261 Appendix VIII. SW-846, Edition III, is available for review during normal business hours at the Utah Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste office, located at 288 North 1460 West, Salt Lake City, Utah. To schedule an appointment, call 801-538-6170].(1) The rebuttable presumption does not apply to metalworking oils/fluids containing chlorinated paraffins, if they are processed, through a tolling agreement, 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.

(a) To ensure that used oil managed at a used oil burner facility is not hazardous waste under the rebuttable presumption of Subsection R315-15-1.1(b)(1)(ii), a used oil burner shall determine whether the total halogen content of used oil managed at the facility is above or below 1,000 ppm.
(b) The used oil burner shall determine if the used oil contains above or below 1,000 ppm total halogens by[
:](1) Testing the used oil;
(2) Applying documented generator knowledge of the halogen content of the used oil in light of the materials or processes used; or
(3) Using information provided by the processor/re-refiner, if the used oil has been received from a processor/re-refiner subject to regulation under [
Section]R315-15-5.(c) If the used oil contains greater than or equal to 1,000 ppm total halogens, it is presumed to be a hazardous waste because it has been mixed with halogenated hazardous waste listed in [
Section]R315-2-10. The owner or operator may rebut the presumption by demonstrating that the used oil does not contain hazardous waste, for example, by using an analytical method from SW-846, Edition III update IV, to show that the used oil does not contain significant concentrations of halogenated hazardous constituents listed in R315-50-10, which incorporates by reference 40 CFR 261 Appendix VIII.[SW-846, Edition III, is available for review during normal business hours at the Utah Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste office, located at 288 North 1460 West, Salt Lake City, Utah.

published January 10, 2008]approved by the [Executive Secretary]Director.R315-15-18. Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs).
(a) Used oil containing polychlorinated biphenyl ( PCB) concentrations of 50 ppm and above is subject to TSCA regulations in 40 CFR 761. Used oil containing PCB concentrations greater than or equal to 2 ppm but less than 50 ppm is subject to both R315-15 and 40 CFR 761.
(b) Used oil transporter PCB testing. Used oil transporters shall determine whether the PCB content of used oil being transported is less than 2 ppm prior to transferring the oil into the transporter's vehicles. The transporter shall make this determination as follows:
(1) Used dielectric oil. Dielectric oil used in transformers and other high voltage devices shall be certified to be less than 2 ppm prior to loading to the transporter's vehicle through either:
(A) Laboratory testing following the procedures described in R315-15-18(d) below, or
(B) Written certification from the generator that the PCB content of the used oil is less than 2 ppm PCBs based on manufacturing specifications and process knowledge.
(2) Other used oils historically containing PCBs. Used oilsthat have historically contained PCBs, including high pressure hydraulic oils, capacitors, heat transfer fluids, oil cooled electric motors, and lubricants shall be certified to be less than 2 ppm prior to transfer through either:
(A) Laboratory testing following the procedures described in R315-15-18(d) below, or
(B) Written certification from the generator that the PCB content of the used oil is less than 2 ppm PCBs based on manufacturing specifications and process knowledge.
(3) Suspicious oil. If a transporter suspects or has knowledge that used oil may have an increased likelihood of containing PCBs, the used oil transporter shall make a PCB determination in the same manner as described under (1) above.
(4) Used oils not falling into categories described under (1) to (3) above are not required to be tested for PCBs under R315-15-18(b).
(c) Used oil marketer PCB testing. To ensure that used oil destined for burning is not a regulated waste under the TSCA regulations, used oil fuel marketers shall also determine whether the PCB content of used oil being burned for energy recovery is below 2 ppm. A marketer shall make this determination in a manner consistent with the used oil marketer's sampling and analysis plan.
(d) Laboratory testing for PCBs. Used oil testing for total PCBs shall include the following Aroclors (registered trademark): 1016, 1221, 1232, 1242, 1248, 1254, and 1260. If plasticizers (used in polyvinyl chloride plastic, neoprene, chlorinated rubbers, laminating adhesives, sealants and caulk and joint compounds etc.) are present, then the used oil shall also be analyzed for Aroclors (registered trademark) 1262 and 1268. If other Aroclors (registered trademark) are known or suspected to be present, then the used oil shall be analyzed for those additional Aroclors (registered trademark).
(e) The following Utah Certified Laboratory SW-846 methodologies shall be used:
(1) Preparation method 3580A, clean up method 3665A, and analytical method 8082A.
(2) Individual Aroclors (registered trademark) shall be reported with a reporting limit of 0.5 ppm or less.
(3) If the source of the PCBs is known to be an Aroclor (registered trademark), and the Aroclor (registered trademark) is unlikely to be significantly altered in homologue composition such as weathering, Aroclors (registered trademark) listed in R315-15-18(d) shall be reported. Analytical results from all 209 individual congeners or ten homologue groups shall be submitted for any sample that has an altered homologue composition such as weathering unless prior approval is obtained from the Director.
