Summary


A comment was made recently to the Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control, Waste Management (Division) that there was a conflict in the wording of Subsections R315-15-13.3(a) and (b). Subsection R315-15-13.3(a) currently states that a person may operate a used oil aggregation point without a registration number if the aggregation point also accepts used oil from household do-it-yourselfers or other generators. Subsection R315-15-13.3(b) then states if an aggregation point accepts used oil from household do-it-yourselfers, it must be registered. It is the intent of the rule that all facilities that manage used oil from household do-it-yourselfers be registered. The Division was unable to determine why the contradiction exists. Previous versions of the rule do not have the contradiction and the Division was unable to find any documentation making the change. The proposed change to Section R315-15-13.3 will remove the contradiction and return the rule to its original intent. It was recently discovered that facilities involved in the management of used oil have been submitting all financial assurance mechanisms signed in duplicate when only certain mechanisms actually need to be signed in duplicate, others in triplicate and some just single. Research into the issue revealed that Section R315-15-17.1 requires all financial assurance mechanisms to be signed in duplicate. The proposed change to Section R315-15-17.1 will remove the requirement from the rules and facilities managing used oil will follow the requirements of each mechanism regarding the number of signatures needed.
