R315-15-1. Applicability, Prohibitions, and Definitions
Latest version.

  1.1 APPLICABILITY

  This section identifies those materials that are subject to regulation as used oil under R315-15. This section also identifies some materials that are not subject to regulation as used oil under R315-15, and indicates whether these materials may be a hazardous waste as defined under R315-261.

  (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 R315-15-1.2, the requirements of 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 R315-261-20 through 24.

  (b) Mixtures of used oil and hazardous waste.

  (1) Listed hazardous waste.

  (i) Mixtures of used oil and hazardous waste which are listed in R315-261-30 through 33 and 35 are subject to regulation as hazardous waste under R315-261 rather than as used oil under 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 R315-261-30 through 33 and 35. A person 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 R315-261, Appendix VIII.

  (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 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 mixture of used oil and hazardous waste that solely exhibits one or more of the hazardous waste characteristics identified in R315-261-20 through 24 and a mixtures of used oil and hazardous waste that is listed in R315-261-30 through 33 and 35 solely because it exhibits one or more of the characteristics of hazardous waste identified in R315-261-20 through 24 are subject to:

  (i) Except as provided in R315-15-1(b)(2)(iii), regulation as hazardous waste under R315-260 through 266, 268, 270, and 273 rather than as used oil under R315-15, if the resultant mixture exhibits any characteristics of hazardous waste identified in R315-261-20 through 24; or

  (ii) Except as specified in R315-15-1.1(b)(2)(iii), regulation as used oil under R315-15, if the resultant mixture does not exhibit any characteristics of hazardous waste identified under R315-261-20 through 24.

  (iii) Regulation as used oil under 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 R315-261-21.

  (3) Very small quantity generator hazardous waste. Mixtures of used oil and very small quantity generator hazardous waste regulated under Section R315-262-14 are subject to regulation as used oil under R315-15.

  (c) Materials containing or otherwise contaminated with used oil.

  (1) Except as provided in R315-15-1.1(c)(2) 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 R315-15, and

  (ii) If applicable, are subject to the hazardous waste regulations R315-260 through 266, 268, 270, and 273, 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 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 R315-15.

  (d) Mixtures of used oil with products.

  (1) Except as provided in (d)(2) mixtures of used oil and fuels or other fuel products are subject to regulation as used oil under 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 R315-15 after the used oil and diesel fuel have been mixed. Prior to mixing, the used oil is subject to the requirements of 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 R315-15, and

  (ii) Not solid wastes and are thus not subject to the hazardous waste regulations of R315-260 through 266, 268, 270, and 273 as provided in R315-261-3(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 R315-15.

  (3) Except as provided in R315-15.1.1(e)(4), 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 R315-15, and

  (ii) Are solid wastes and thus are subject to the hazardous waste regulations R315-260 through 266, 268, 270, and 273 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 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 that have eliminated the discharge of wastewater, 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 R315-15. The used oil is subject to the requirements of 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 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 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 R315-15.

  (4) Except as provided in R315-15-1.1 (g)(5), used oil that is introduced into a petroleum refining facility process after crude distillation or catalytic cracking is exempt from the requirements of R315-15 only if the used oil meets the specification of R315-15-1.2. Prior to insertion into the petroleum refining facility process, the used oil is subject to the requirements of 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 R315-15. This exemption does not extend to used oil 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 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 R315-15, marketers and burners of used oil who market used oil containing PCBs at concentrations greater than or equal to 2 ppm are subject to the requirements found in R315-15-18 and 40 CFR 761.20(e).

  (j) Inspections. Any duly authorized employee of the Director, may, at any reasonable time and upon presentation of credentials, have access to and the right to copy any records relating to used oil, and inspect, audit, or sample. Any authorized employee 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. The employee may also make record of the inspection by photographic, electronic, audio, video, or any other reasonable means.

  (k) Violations, Orders, and Hearings. If the Director has reason to believe a person is in violation of any provision of R315-15, procedural requirements for compliance shall follow 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 R315-15 until:

  (a) It has been demonstrated not to exceed any allowable levels of the constituents and properties shown in Table 1;

  (b) The person making that claim complies with R315-15-7.3, R315-15-7.4, and R315-15-7.5(b); and

  (c) The used oil is delivered to a used oil burner.


TABLE 1

USED OIL NOT EXCEEDING ANY ALLOWABLE 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)

mixtures of used oil and hazardous waste that continue to beregulated as hazardous waste. See 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 described in R315-15-1.1(b)(1). Such used oil is

subject to R315-266-100 through 112, rather than 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 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 761.20(e).


  1.3 PROHIBITIONS

  Except as authorized by the Director, a person may not place, discard, or otherwise dispose of used oil in any of the following manners:

R315-15-2. Standards for Used Oil Generators
Latest version.

  2.1 APPLICABILITY

  (a) General. Except as provided in paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(4) of this 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 R315-15, except for the prohibitions of R315-15-1.3 and cleanup requirements of R315-15-9.

  (2) Vessels. Vessels at sea or at port are not subject to R315-15-2. For purposes of 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 in compliance with R315-15-2 once the used oil is transported ashore. The co-generators may decide among themselves which party will fulfill the requirements of 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 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 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 R315-15, except for the prohibitions of 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 R315-15 as indicated in R315-15.2.1(b)(1) through (5):

  (1) Generators who transport used oil, except under the self-transport provisions of R315-15-2.5(a) and (b), shall also comply with R315-15-4.

  (2)(i) Except as provided in R315-15-2.1(b)(2)(ii), generators who process or re-refine used oil must also comply with R315-15-5.

  (ii) Generators who perform the following activities are not processors, provided that the used oil is generated onsite and is not being sent offsite 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 onsite to make the wastewater acceptable for discharge or reuse in accordance with 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 in accordance with R315-15-1.1(c); or

  (E) Filtering, separating or otherwise reconditioning used oil before burning it in a space heater in accordance with R315-15-2.4.

  (3) Generators who burn off-specification used oil for energy recovery, shall also comply with R315-15-6.

  (4) Generators who direct shipments of off-specification used oil from their facility to a used oil burner or first certify that used oil that is to be burned for energy recovery meets the used oil fuel specifications set forth in R315-15-1.2 shall also comply with R315-15-7.

  (5) Generators who dispose of used oil shall also comply with R315-15-8.

  2.2 HAZARDOUS WASTE MIXING

  (a) Mixtures of used oil and hazardous waste shall be managed in accordance with R315-15-1.1(b).

  (b) The rebuttable presumption for used oil found in R315-15-1.1(b)(1)(ii) applies to used oil managed by generators. Under this rebuttable presumption, 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 112, in addition to the requirements of R315-15-2. Used oil generators are also subject to the standards and requirements of 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 addition, used oil generators are subject to the requirements of 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 R315-264 and R315-265.

  (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.

  (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.

  (1) Containers and aboveground tanks used to store used oil at generator facilities shall be labeled or marked clearly with the words "Used Oil".

  (2) Fill pipes used to transfer used oil into underground storage tanks at generator facilities shall be labeled or marked clearly with the words "Used Oil."

  (d) Response to releases. Upon detection of a release of used oil to the environment not subject to the requirements of Section R311-202-1, which incorporates by reference 40 CFR 280, Subpart F, a generator shall comply with Section R315-15-9.

  2.4 ON-SITE BURNING

  On-site burners shall comply with R315-15-6 and, if applicable, shall obtain an Air Quality permit.

  (a) Generators may burn used oil in used oil-fired space heaters without a used oil permit provided that:

  (1) The heater burns only used oil that the owner or operator generates;

  (2) The heater is designed to have a maximum capacity of not more than 0.5 million Btu per hour;

  (3) The combustion gases from the heater are vented to the outside ambient air;

  (4) The generator has knowledge that the used oil has not been mixed with hazardous waste; and

  (5) The used oil is being legitimately burned to utilize its energy content.

  (b) Used Oil Collection Center(UOCC). If it is registered as a Used Oil Collection Center as authorized in R315-15-3, the UOCC may burn used oil in used oil fired space heaters without a used oil permit under the provision described in R315-15-2.4(a) provided that the used oil is received from household do-it-yourselfer generators or farmers described in R315-15-2.1(a)(4) or the used oil is received from other generators and has been certified to meet the used oil fuel specifications of R315-15-1.2 by a registered used oil marketer in accordance with R315-15-7.

  2.5 OFF-SITE SHIPMENTS

  Except as provided in R315-15-2.5(a) through (c), a generator shall ensure that its used oil is transported only by a transporter who has obtained a Utah used oil transporter permit and has a current used oil handler certificate issued by the Director and an EPA identification number.

  (a) Self-transportation of small amounts to approved collection centers. A generators may transport, without an EPA identification number, a used oil transporter permit, or a current used oil handler certificate, used oil that is generated at the generator's site and used oil collected from household do-it-yourselfers to a used oil collection center provided that:

  (1) The generator transports the used oil in a vehicle owned by the generator or owned by an employee of the generator;

  (2) The generator transports no more than 55 gallons of used oil at any time; and

  (3) The generator transports the used oil to a used oil collection center that is registered or permitted to manage used oil.

  (b) Self-transportation of small amounts to aggregation points owned by the generator. A generator may transport, without an EPA identification number, a used oil transporter permit, or used oil handler certificate, used oil that is generated at the generator's site to an aggregation point provided that:

  (1) The generator transports the used oil in a vehicle owned by the generator or owned by an employee of the generator;

  (2) The generator transports no more than 55 gallons of used oil at any time; and

  (3) The generator transports the used oil to an aggregation point that is owned, operated, or both by the same generator.

  (c) Tolling arrangements. Used oil generators may arrange for used oil to be transported by a transporter without an EPA identification number, a used oil transporter permit, or a current used oil handler certificate if the used oil is reclaimed under a contractual agreement under which reclaimed oil is returned by the processor/re-refiner to the generator for use as a lubricant, cutting oil, or coolant. The contract, known as a "tolling arrangement," shall indicate:

  (1) The type of used oil and the frequency of shipments;

  (2) That the vehicle used to transport the used oil to the processing/re-refining facility and to deliver recycled used oil back to the generator is owned and operated by the used oil processor/re-refiner; and

  (3) That reclaimed oil will be returned to the generator.

  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 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 and 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 R315-261-30 through 33 and 35. 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 R315-261 Appendix VIII.

  (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.

R315-15-6. Standards for Used Oil Burners Who Burn Used Oil for Energy Recovery
Latest version.

  6.1 APPLICABILITY

  (a) General. A used oil burner is a person who burns used oil for energy recovery. An on-specification used oil burner is a person who only burns used oil that meets the specifications of R315-15-1.2. Used oil that has not been determined to be on-specification used oil by a Utah-registered marketer shall be managed as off-specification used oil except as described R315-15-2.4. An off-specification used oil burner is a person who burns used oil not meeting the specifications found in R315-15-1.2 for energy recovery. Facilities burning used oil for energy recovery under the following conditions are subject to R315-15-6.1(a) and (b) and R315-15-6.2(b) and (c), but not other portions of R315-15-6:

  (1) The used oil is burned by the generator in an on-site space heater under the provisions of R315-15-2.4;

  (2) The used oil is burned by a processor/re-refiner for purposes of processing used oil, which is considered burning incidentally to used oil processing; or

  (3) The used oil burned by the facility is obtained from a Utah-registered marketer who claims and has demonstrated that the used oil meets the used oil fuel specifications set forth in R315-15-1.2 and who delivers the used oil in the manner set forth in R315-15-7.5(b).

  (b) Other applicable provisions. In addition to the requirements of R315-15-6.1(a), used oil burners who conduct the following activities are subject to the requirements of R315-15 as indicated below.

  (2) Burners who transport used oil shall comply with R315-15-4;

  (3) Except as provided in R315-15-6.2(b)(2), burners who process or re-refine used oil shall comply with Section R315-15-5;

  (4) Burners who direct shipments of off-specification used oil from their facility to an off-specification 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 R315-15-1.2 shall comply with R315-15-7 and R315-15-13.7;

  (5) Burners who dispose of used oil shall comply with R315-15-8; and

  (6) Burners who collect used oil shall also comply with the collection center requirements in R315-15-3. Burners may only burn used oil collected from other generators if that used oil has been certified to be on-specification used oil by a Utah-registered used oil marketer in compliance with R315-15-7. Burners who collect and burn used oil that is not "do-it-yourselfer" or farmer-generated as described in R315-15-2.1(a)(1) and (4), shall obtain a used oil marketer registration before burning such oil and shall comply with the provisions of R315-15-7.

  (7) Tanks, containers, and piping that previously contained listed hazardous waste. Unless tanks, containers, and piping that previously contained listed hazardous waste are decontaminated as described in R315-261-7 prior to storing used oil, the used oil is considered to have been mixed with the hazardous waste and shall be managed as hazardous waste unless, under the provisions of R315-15-1.1(b), the hazardous waste and used oil mixture is determined not to be hazardous waste.

  (8) Tanks, containers, and piping that previously contained PCB-contaminated material. Unless tanks, containers, and piping that previously contained PCB-contaminated material are decontaminated as described in 40 CFR 761 Subpart S prior to transfer of used oil, the used oil is considered to have been mixed with the PCB-contaminated material and shall be managed as PCB-contaminated material in accordance with R315-15-18.

  (c) Off-specification used oil burner permit. Off-specification used oil burners shall obtain a permit from the Director prior to burning off-specification used oil unless exempted by R315-15-13.6(b)(5).

  (d) The permittee shall be responsible for used oil, used oil contaminants, or used oil residual materials that have been discharged or migrate beyond the facility property boundary. The permittee is not relieved of all or any responsibility to cleanup, remedy or remediate a release that has discharged or migrated beyond the facility boundary where off-site access is denied. When off-site access is denied, the permittee shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Director that, despite the permittee's best efforts, the permittee was unable to obtain the necessary permission to undertake the actions to cleanup, remedy or remediate the discharge or migration. The responsibility for discharges or migration beyond the facility property boundary does not convey any property rights of any sort, or any exclusive privilege to the permittee.

  11.2 CLEANUP AND CLOSURE PLAN

  (a) Written plan.

  (1) The owner or operator of a used oil transfer, off-specification burner, or processing/re-refining facility shall have a written cleanup and closure plan. The cleanup and closure plan shall be submitted to the Director for approval as part of the permit application.

  (2) When physical or operational conditions at the facility change that result in a change in the nature or extent of cleanup and closure or an increase in the estimated costs of cleanup and closure, the owner or operator shall submit a modified plan for review and approval by the Director.

  (3) Changes in the amount or face value of a financial mechanism that are the result of the annual inflation update from the application of the implicit price deflator multiplier to a permit cleanup and closure plan cost estimate shall not require approval by the Director.

  (4) The adjustment shall be made by recalculating the cleanup closure cost estimate in current dollars or by using an inflation factor derived from the most recent Implicit Price Deflator for Gross Domestic Product published by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis in its Survey of Current Business as specified in R315-264-145(b)(1) and (2). The inflation factor is the incremental increase of the latest published annual Deflator to the Deflator for the previous year divided by the previous year Deflator. The first adjustment is made by multiplying the cleanup closure cost estimate by the inflation factor. The result is the adjusted cleanup closure cost estimate. Subsequent adjustments are made by multiplying the latest adjusted cleanup closure cost estimate by the latest inflation factor.

  (b) Content of plan. The plan shall identify steps necessary to perform partial or final cleanup and closure of the facility at any point during its active life.

  (1) The cleanup and closure plan shall be based on third-party, direct-estimated costs or on third-party costs using RS Means methods, applications, procedures, and use cost values applicable to the location of the facility and include, at least:

  (i) A description of how each used oil management unit at the facility will be closed.

  (ii) A description of how final cleanup and closure of the facility will be conducted. The description shall identify the maximum extent of the operations that will be cleaned, closed, or both during the active life of the facility.

  (iii) The highest cost estimate of the maximum inventory of used oil to be stored onsite at any one time during the life of the facility and a detailed description of the methods to be used during partial cleanup and closure final cleanup and closure, or both, including, but not limited to, methods for removing, transporting, or disposing of all used oil, and identification of the off-site used oil facilities to be used, if applicable.

  (iv) A detailed description of the steps needed to remove or decontaminate all used oil and used oil residues and contaminated containment system components, equipment, structures, and soils during partial or final cleanup and closure, including procedures for cleaning equipment and removing contaminated soils, methods for sampling and testing surrounding soils, and criteria for determining the extent of decontamination required to satisfy closure. This description shall address the management and disposal of all residues resulting from the decontamination activity, including, but not limited to, rinse waters, rags, personal protective equipment, small hand implements, vehicles, and mechanized equipment.

  (v) A detailed description of other activities necessary during the cleanup and closure period to ensure that all partial closures shall satisfy the final cleanup and closure plan.

  (vi) A cleanup and closure cost estimate and a mechanism for financial responsibility to cover the cost of cleanup and closure

  (vii) State of Utah and Federal government used oil permittees are exempt from the requirements of R315-15-11(b)(1)(vi).

  (2) The owner or operator shall update its cleanup and closure plan cost estimate and provide the updated estimate to the Director, in writing, within 60 days following a facility modification that causes an increase in the amount of the financial responsibility required under R315-15-10. Within 30 days of the Director's approval of a permit modification for the cleanup and closure plan that would result in an increased cost estimate, the owner or operator shall provide to the Director:

  (i) evidence that the financial assurance mechanism amount or value includes the cleanup and closure cost estimate increase; or

  (ii) other mechanisms covering the increased closure plan cost estimate and a summary document indicating the multiple financial mechanisms, by mechanism name, account number, and the amounts to satisfy R315-15-10 and 11.

  (c) The owner or operator shall update the cleanup and closure cost estimate to adjust for inflation and include the updated estimate in the permitted facility's annual report due by March 1st of each year, using either:

R315-15-18. Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)
Latest version.

  (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 the PCB content of used oil being transported is less than 50 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 50 ppm prior to loading to the transporter's vehicle through laboratory testing following the procedures described in R315-15-18(d).

  (2) Other used oils shall be certified to be less than 50 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 50 ppm based on manufacturing specifications and process knowledge.

  (c) Used oil marketer PCB testing. To ensure that used oil destined to be burned for energy recovery is not a regulated waste under the TSCA regulations, used oil fuel marketers shall 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: 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 1262 and 1268. If other Aroclors are known or suspected to be present, then the used oil shall be analyzed for those additional Aroclors.

  (e) The following Utah Certified Laboratory SW-846 methodologies shall be used for PCBs:

  (1) Preparation method 3580A, clean up method 3665A, and analytical method 8082A.

  (2) Individual Aroclors shall be reported with a reporting limit of 1 ppm or less.

  (3) If the source of the PCBs is known to be an Aroclor, and the Aroclor is unlikely to be significantly altered in homologue composition such as weathering, Aroclors 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.
