RCRA SUBTITLE C UPDATE, USEPA ) (Identical-in-Substance
AMENDMENTS (July 1, 2003 through ) Rulemaking - Land)
December 31, 2003) )
Proposed Rule. Proposal for Public Comment.
ORDER OF THE BOARD (by G.T. Girard):
SUMMARY OF TODAY’S ACTION
This identical-in-substance rulemaking would update the Illinois hazardous waste
regulations to incorporate revisions to the federal regulations. The federal amendments that
prompted this action were made by the United States Environmental Protection Agency
(USEPA) during the period of July 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003. This proceeding
proposes amendments to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721 and 739. This proposal for public comment
would also make a series of non-substantive corrections and stylistic revisions to segments of the
text of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 739 that are not otherwise affected by the covered federal amendments.
Sections 7.2 and 22.4(a) of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/7.2 and
22.4(a) (2002)) require the Board to adopt regulations that are “identical in substance” to
hazardous waste regulations adopted by the USEPA. These USEPA rules implement Subtitle C
of the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA Subtitle C) (42 U.S.C.
§§ 6921
et seq
. (2000)).
Sections 7.2 and 22.4(a) provide for quick adoption of regulations that are identical in
substance to federal regulations that USEPA adopts to implement Sections 3001 through 3005 of
RCRA (42 U.S.C. §§ 6921-6925 (2000)). Section 22.4(a) also provides that Title VII of the Act
and Section 5 of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 ILCS 100/5-35 and 5-40 (2002)) do
not apply to the Board’s adoption of identical-in-substance regulations. The federal RCRA
Subtitle C regulations are found at 40 C.F.R. 260 through 266, 268, 270, 271, 273, and 279.
This order is supported by an opinion that the Board also adopts today. The Board will
cause the proposed amendments to be published in the
Illinois Register
and will hold the docket
open to receive public comments for 45 days after the date of publication.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

SUBPART A: GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 721.105 Special Requirements for Hazardous Waste Generated by Small Quantity
Generators
a) A generator is a conditionally exempt small quantity generator in a calendar
month if it generates no more than 100 kilograms of hazardous waste in that
month.
b) Except for those wastes identified in subsections (e), (f), (g), and (j) of this
Section, a conditionally exempt small quantity generator’s hazardous wastes are
not subject to regulation under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702, 703, 722 through 726, and
728, and the notification requirements of section 3010 of Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act, provided the generator complies with the requirements of
subsections (f), (g), and (j) of this Section.
c) When making the quantity determinations of this Part and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 722,
the generator must include all hazardous waste that it generates, except the
following hazardous waste:
1) Hazardous waste that is exempt from regulation under Section 721.104(c)
through (f), 721.106(a)(3), 721.107(a)(1), or 721.108;
2) Hazardous waste that is managed immediately upon generation only in on-
site elementary neutralization units, wastewater treatment units, or totally
enclosed treatment facilities, as defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.110;
3) Hazardous waste that is recycled, without prior storage or accumulation,
only in an on-site process subject to regulation under Section
721.106(c)(2);
4) Hazardous waste that is used oil managed under the requirements of
Section 721.106(a)(4) and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 739;
5
5) Hazardous waste that is spent lead-acid batteries managed under the
requirements of Subpart G of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 726; and
6) Hazardous waste that is universal waste managed under Section 721.109
and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 733.
d) In determining the quantity of hazardous waste it generates, a generator need not
include the following:
1) Hazardous waste when it is removed from on-site storage;
2) Hazardous waste produced by on-site treatment (including reclamation) of
its hazardous waste so long as the hazardous waste that is treated was
counted once;
3) Spent materials that are generated, reclaimed, and subsequently reused on-
site, so long as such spent materials have been counted once.
e) If a generator generates acute hazardous waste in a calendar month in quantities
greater than those set forth below in subsections (e)(1) and (e)(2) of this Section,
all quantities of that acute hazardous waste are subject to full regulation under 35
Ill. Adm. Code 702, 703, 722 through 726, and 728, and the notification
requirements of section 3010 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act:.
1) A total of one kilogram of one or more of the acute hazardous wastes
listed in Section 721.131, 721.132, or 721.133(e); or
2) A total of 100 kilograms of any residue or contaminated soil, waste, or
other debris resulting from the clean-up of a spill, into or on any land or
water, of any one or more of the acute hazardous wastes listed in Section
721.131, 721.132, or 721.133(e).
BOARD NOTE: “Full regulation” means those regulations applicable to
generators of greater than 1000 kg of non-acute hazardous waste in a calendar
month.
f) In order for acute hazardous wastes generated by a generator of acute hazardous
wastes in quantities equal to or less than those set forth in subsection (e)(1) or
(e)(2) of this Section to be excluded from full regulation under this Section, the
generator must comply with the following requirements:
1) 35 Ill. Adm. Code 722.111.
2) The generator may accumulate acute hazardous waste on-site. If the
generator accumulates at any time acute hazardous wastes in quantities
6
greater than set forth in subsection (e)(1) or (e)(2) of this Section, all of
those accumulated wastes are subject to regulation under 35 Ill. Adm.
Code 702, 703, 722 through 726, and 728, and the applicable notification
requirements of section 3010 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act. The time period of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 722.134(a), for accumulation
of wastes on-site, begins when the accumulated wastes exceed the
applicable exclusion limit.
3) A conditionally exempt small quantity generator may either treat or
dispose of its acute hazardous waste in an on-site facility or ensure
delivery to an off-site treatment, storage, or disposal facility, any of
which, if located in the United States, meets any of the following
conditions:
A) The facility is permitted under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702 and 703;
B) The facility has interim status under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702, 703,
and 725;
C) The facility is authorized to manage hazardous waste by a state
with a hazardous waste management program approved by USEPA
pursuant to 40 CFR 271;
D) The facility is permitted, licensed, or registered by a state to

waste landfill facility, the landfill is subject to 35 Ill. Adm. Code
810 through 814 or 40 CFR 258;
E) The facility is permitted, licensed, or registered by a state to
manage non-municipal non-hazardous waste and, if managed in a
non-municipal non-hazardous waste disposal unit, the unit is
subject to the requirements of 40 CFR 257.5 through 257.30;
BOARD NOTE: The Illinois non-hazardous waste landfill
regulations, 35 Ill. Adm. Code 810 through 814, do not allow the
disposal of hazardous waste in a landfill regulated under those
rules. The Board intends that subsections (f)(3)(D) and (f)(3)(E)
of this Section impose a federal requirement on the hazardous
waste generator. The Board specifically does not intend that these
subsections authorize any disposal of conditionally-exempt small
quantity generator waste in a landfill not specifically permitted to
accept the particular hazardous waste.
F) The facility is one that fulfills one of the following conditions:
7
i) It beneficially uses or reuses or legitimately recycles or
reclaims its waste; or
ii) It treats its waste prior to beneficial use or reuse or
legitimate recycling or reclamation; or
G) For universal waste managed under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 733 or 40
CFR 273, the facility is a universal waste handler or destination
facility subject to the requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 733 or 40
CFR 273.
g) In order for hazardous waste generated by a conditionally exempt small quantity
generator in quantities of less than 100 kilograms of hazardous waste during a
calendar month to be excluded from full regulation under this Section, the
generator must comply with the following requirements:
1) 35 Ill. Adm. Code 722.111;
2) The conditionally exempt small quantity generator may accumulate
hazardous waste on-site. If it accumulates at any time more than a total of

accumulated wastes are subject to regulation under the special provisions
of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 722 applicable to generators of between 100 kg and
1000 kg of hazardous waste in a calendar month, as well as the
requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702, 703, 723 through 726, and 728,
and the applicable notification requirements of Section 3010 of the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. The time period of 35 Ill.
Adm. Code 722.134(d) for accumulation of wastes on-site begins for a
small quantity generator when the accumulated wastes exceed 1000
kilograms;
3) A conditionally exempt small quantity generator may either treat or
dispose of its hazardous waste in an on-site facility or ensure delivery to
an off-site treatment, storage, or disposal facility, any of which, if located
in the United States, meets any of the following conditions:
A) The facility is permitted under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702 and 703;
B) The facility has interim status under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702, 703,

manage municipal solid waste and, if managed in a municipal solid
waste landfill facility, the landfill is subject to 35 Ill. Adm. Code
810 through 814 or 40 CFR 258;
E) The facility is permitted, licensed, or registered by a state to
manage non-municipal non-hazardous waste and, if managed in a
non-municipal non-hazardous waste disposal unit, the unit is
subject to the requirements of 40 CFR 257.5 through 257.30;
BOARD NOTE: The Illinois non-hazardous waste landfill
regulations, 35 Ill. Adm. Code 810 through 814, do not allow the
disposal of hazardous waste in a landfill regulated under those
rules. The Board intends that subsections (g)(3)(D) and (g)(3)(E)
of this Section impose a federal requirement on the hazardous
waste generator. The Board specifically does not intend that these
subsections authorize any disposal of conditionally-exempt small
quantity generator waste in a landfill not specifically permitted to
accept the particular hazardous waste.
F) The facility is one that fulfills the following conditions:
i) It beneficially uses or re-uses, or legitimately recycles or
reclaims the small quantity generator’s waste; or
ii) It treats its waste prior to beneficial use or re-use or
legitimate recycling or reclamation; or
G) For universal waste managed under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 733 or 40
CFR 273, the facility is a universal waste handler or destination
facility subject to the requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 733 or 40
CFR 273.
h) Hazardous waste subject to the reduced requirements of this Section may be
mixed with non-hazardous waste and remain subject to these reduced
requirements even though the resultant mixture exceeds the quantity limitations
identified in this Section, unless the mixture meets any of the characteristics of
hazardous wastes identified in Subpart C of this Part.
i) If a small quantity generator mixes a solid waste with a hazardous waste that
exceeds a quantity exclusion level of this Section, the mixture is subject to full
regulation.
j) If a conditionally exempt small quantity generator’s hazardous wastes are mixed
with used oil, the mixture is subject to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 739 if it is destined to be
burned for energy recovery. Any material produced from such a mixture by
9
processing, blending, or other treatment is also so regulated if it is destined to be
burned for energy recovery.

SUBPART A: DEFINITIONS
Section 739.100 Definitions
Terms that are defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.110, 721.101, and 731.112 have the same meanings
when used in this Part.
“Aboveground tank” means a tank used to store or process used oil that is not an
underground storage tank, as defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 280.12.
BOARD NOTE: This definition is different from the definition for “Aboveground
aboveground tank” given in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.110. Although the meanings are
similar, the main distinction is that the definition for this Part limits the tanks to those
used to store or process used oil, whereas the 720.110 definition contemplates tanks
that contain hazardous wastes. The above definition of this Section is limited to this
Part only.
“Container” means any portable device in which a material is stored, transported,
treated, disposed of, or otherwise handled.
“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.
“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 had commenced on or prior to the
effective date of the authorized used oil program for the State in which the tank is
located October 4, 1996. Installation will be considered to have commenced if the
owner or operator has had obtained all federal, state, and local approvals or permits
necessary to begin installation of the tank and if either of the following had
occurred:
A continuous on-site installation program has had begun, or
The owner or operator has had entered into contractual obligations that
cannot be canceled or modified without substantial loss for installation of the
12
tank to be completed within a reasonable time.
BOARD NOTE: This definition is similar to the definition for “Existing tank
system” in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.110. Although the meanings are similar,
the definition given above for “existing tank” in this Part limits the tanks to
those used to store or process used oil, whereas the 720.110 definition
contemplates tanks systems that contain hazardous wastes. The above
definition of this Section is limited to this Part only.
“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 their personal vehicles.
BOARD NOTE: Household ‘do-it-yourselfer’ used oil is not subject to the State’s
special waste hauling permit requirements under Part 809.
“Household ‘do-it-yourselfer’ used oil generator” means an individual who generates
household “do-it-yourselfer” used oil.
“New tank” means a tank that will be used to store or process used oil and for which
installation has had commenced after the effective date of the authorized used oil
program for the State in which the tank is located October 4, 1996.
BOARD NOTE: This definition is similar to the definition given for “New tank
system” given in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.110. Although the meanings are similar, the
definition given above for “new tank” in this Part limits the tanks to those used to
store or process used oil, whereas the 720.110 definition contemplates new tanks
systems which that contain hazardous wastes. The above definition of this Section
is limited to this Part only.
“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).
“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 the
following: 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.
“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.
“Tank” means any stationary device, designed to contain an accumulation of used oil
which that is constructed primarily of non-earthen materials, (e.g., wood, concrete,
steel, plastic) which provides provide structural support.

SUBPART B: APPLICABILITY
Section 739.110 Applicability
This Section identifies those materials which that are subject to regulation as used oil under this
Part. This Section also identifies some materials that are not subject to regulation as used oil
under this Part, and indicates whether these materials may be subject to regulation as hazardous
waste under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702, 703, 720 through 726, and 728.
a) Used oil. USEPA presumes that used Used oil is presumed to be recycled, unless
a used oil handler disposes of used oil, or sends used oil for disposal. Except as
provided in Section 739.111, the regulations of this Part 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 Subpart C of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.Subpart C.
b) Mixtures of used oil and hazardous waste.
1) Listed hazardous waste.
A) A mixture of used oil and hazardous waste that is listed in Subpart
D of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.Subpart D is subject to regulation as
hazardous waste under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703, 720 through 726,
and 728, rather than as used oil under this Part.
B) 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 Subpart D of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.Subpart D. Persons 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 incorporated by reference in 35
Ill. Adm. Code 720.111, to show that the used oil does not contain
significant concentrations of halogenated hazardous constituents
listed in Appendix H of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.Appendix H).
USEPA Publication SW-846, Third Edition, is available from the
Government Printing Office, Superintendent of Documents, P.O.

hazardous waste that is listed in Subpart D of this Part solely because it
exhibits one or more of the characteristics of hazardous waste identified in
Subpart C of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.Subpart C is subject to the following:
A) Except as provided in subsection (b)(2)(C) of this Section,
regulation as hazardous waste under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703, 720
through 726, and 728 rather than as used oil under this Part, if the
resultant mixture exhibits any characteristics of hazardous waste
identified in Subpart C of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.Subpart C; or
B) Except as provided in subsection (b)(2)(C) of this Section,
regulation as used oil under this Part, if the resultant mixture does
not exhibit any characteristics of hazardous waste identified under
Subpart C of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.Subpart C.
C) Regulation as used oil under this Part, if the mixture is of used oil
and a waste which that is hazardous solely because it exhibits the
characteristic of ignitability (e.g., ignitable-only mineral spirits),
provided that the resultant mixture does not exhibit the
characteristic of ignitability under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.121.
3) Conditionally exempt small quantity generator hazardous waste. A
mixture of used oil and conditionally exempt small quantity generator
hazardous waste regulated under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.105 is subject to

4) Used oil re-refining distillation bottoms that are used as feedstock to
manufacture asphalt products are not subject to this Part.
f) Wastewater. Wastewater, the discharge of which is subject to regulation under
either Section 402 or Section 307(b) of the federal 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 this Part. For purposes of this subsection, “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 will 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

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 this Part.
18
3) Used oil that is inserted into the petroleum refining process before crude
distillation or catalytic cracking without prior mixing with crude oil is
exempt from the requirements of this Part, provided that the used oil
contains less than 1% one percent of the crude oil feed to any petroleum
refining facility process unit at any given time. Prior to insertion into the
petroleum refining process, the used oil is subject to the requirements of
this Part.
4) Except as provided in subsection (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 this Part only if
the used oil meets the specification of Section 739.111. Prior to insertion
into the petroleum refining facility process, the used oil is subject to the
requirements of this Part.
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 this Part. 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 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 the requirements of
this Part.
h) Used oil on vessels. Used oil produced on vessels from normal shipboard
operations is not subject to this Part until it is transported ashore.
i) Used oil containing PCBs. Used oil containing PCBs, as defined at 40 CFR
761.3, incorporated by reference at 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.111(b), at any
concentration less than 50 ppm is subject to the requirements of this Part unless,
because of dilution, it is regulated under federal 40 CFR 761 as a used oil
containing PCBs at 50 ppm or greater. Used PCB-containing used oil subject to
the requirements of this Part may also be subject to the prohibitions and
requirements of 40 CFR Part 761, including 40 CFR 761.20(d) and (e). Used oil
containing PCBs at concentrations of 50 ppm or greater is not subject to the
requirements of this Part, but is solely subject to regulation under federal 40 CFR
761. No person may avoid these provisions by diluting used oil containing PCBs,
unless otherwise specifically provided for in this Part or federal 40 CFR 761.

Section 739.111 Used oil specifications 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 this Part unless it is shown not to exceed any of the
allowable levels of the constituents and properties in the specification shown in Table 1 the
following table. Once used oil that is to be burned for energy recovery has been shown not to
exceed any specification and the person making that showing complies with Sections 739.172,
739.173, and 739.174(b), the used oil is no longer subject to this Part.

SUBPART C: STANDARDS FOR USED OIL GENERATORS
Section 739.120 Applicability
a) General. This subpart Subpart C applies to all generators of used oil, except the
following:
1) Household “do-it-yourselfer” used oil generators. Household “do-it-
yourselfer” used oil generators are not subject to regulation under this Part.
2) Vessels. Vessels at sea or at port are not subject to this Subpart C. For
purposes of this Subpart C, 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)
persons 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 this Subpart C once the used oil is transported ashore. The co-
generators may decide among them themselves which party will fulfill the
requirements of this Subpart C.
3) Diesel fuel. Mixtures of used oil and diesel fuel mixed by the generator of
21
the used oil for use in the generator’s own vehicles are not subject to this Part
once the used oil and diesel fuel have been mixed. Prior to mixing, the used
oil fuel is subject to the requirements of this Subpart C.
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 this Part.
b) Other applicable provisions. A used oil generator that conducts any of the following
activities is subject to the requirements of other applicable provisions of this Part, as
indicated in subsections (b)(1) through (b)(5) below:
1) A generator that transports used oil, except under the self-transport
provisions of Section 739.124 (a) and (b), shall must also comply with
739.Subpart E of this Part.
2) A generator that processes or re-refines used oil.
A) Except as provided in subsection (b)(2)(B) below of this Section, a
generator that processes or re-refines used oil shall must also comply
with 739.Subpart F of this Part.
B) A generator that performs the following activities is not a used oil
processor, 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:
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 Section 402 or 307(b) for the federal Clean Water
Act (33 U.S.C. 1317 or 1342), 40 CFR 403 through 499, or
35 Ill. Adm. Code 310 or 309, governing the 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
Section 739.110(c); or
v) Filtering, separating, or otherwise reconditioning used oil
22
before burning it in a space heater pursuant to Section
739.123.
3) A generator that burns off-specification used oil for energy recovery, except
under the on-site space heater provisions of Section 739.123, shall must also
comply with 739.Subpart G of this Part.
4) A generator that directs shipments of off-specification used oil from their
facility to a used oil burner or first claims that used oil that is to be burned for
energy recovery meets the used oil fuel specifications set forth in Section
739.111 shall must also comply with 739.Subpart H of this Part.
5) A generator that disposes of used oil, including the use of used oil as a dust
suppressant, shall must also comply with 739.Subpart I of this Part.

Section 739.121 Hazardous waste mixing Waste Mixing
a) Mixtures of used oil and hazardous waste must be managed in accordance with
Section 739.110(b).
b) The rebuttable presumption for used oil of Section 739.110(b)(1)(B) applies to used
oil managed by generators. Under the rebuttable presumption for used oil of Section
739.110(b)(1)(B), used oil containing greater than 1,000 ppm total halogens is
presumed to be a hazardous waste and thus must 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 oils and fluids and certain used
oils removed from refrigeration units.

oil generators are A used oil generators is also subject to the Underground Storage Tank (35 Ill.
Adm. Code 731) standards for used oil stored in underground tanks whether or not the used oil
exhibits any characteristics of hazardous waste, in addition to the requirements of this Subpart C.
a) Storage units. Used oil generators shall A used oil generator may not store used oil
in units other than tanks, containers, or units subject to regulation under 35 Ill. Adm.
Code 724 or 725.
b) Condition of units. Containers The following must be true of containers and
aboveground tanks used to store used oil at a generator facilities must be facility:
23
1) In
The containers must be in good condition (no severe rusting, apparent
structural defects or deterioration); and
2) Not
The containers may not be leaking (no visible leaks).
c) Labels.
1) Containers and aboveground tanks used to store used oil at generator
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
generator facilities must be labeled or marked clearly with the words “Used

d) Response to releases. Upon detection of a release of used oil to the environment that
is not subject to the federal requirements of 40 CFR 280, Subpart F and which has
occurred after October 4, 1996, a generator shall must perform the following cleanup
steps:
BOARD NOTE: Corresponding 40 CFR 279.22(d) applies to releases that
“occurred after the effective date of the authorized used oil program for the State in
which the release is located.” The Board adopted the used oil standards in docket
R93-4 at 17 Ill. Reg. 20954, effective November 22, 1993. USEPA approved the
Illinois standards at 61 Fed. Reg. 40521 (Aug. 5, 1996), effective October 4,
1996. The Board has interpreted “the effective date of the authorized used oil
program” to mean the October 4, 1996 date of federal authorization of the Illinois
program, and we substituted that date for the federal effective date language. Had
USEPA written something like “the effective date of the used oil program in the
authorized State in which the release is located,” the Board would have used the
November 22, 1993 effective date of the Illinois used oil standards.
1) Stop the release;
2) Contain the released used oil;
3) Properly clean up and manage 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.

presumed to be a hazardous waste because it has been mixed with halogenated
hazardous waste listed in Subpart D of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.Subpart D. 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 incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.111, to show
that the used oil does not contain significant concentrations of halogenated hazardous
constituents listed in Appendix H of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.Appendix H). U.S.
EPA Publication SW-846, Third Edition, is available from the Government
Printing Office, Superintendent of Documents, PO Box 371954, Pittsburgh, PA

perform the following cleanup steps:
BOARD NOTE: Corresponding 40 CFR 279.45(h) applies to releases that
“occurred after the effective date of the authorized used oil program for the State in
which the release is located.” The Board adopted the used oil standards in docket
R93-4 at 17 Ill. Reg. 20954, effective November 22, 1993. USEPA approved the
Illinois standards at 61 Fed. Reg. 40521 (Aug. 5, 1996), effective October 4,
1996. The Board has interpreted “the effective date of the authorized used oil
program” to mean the October 4, 1996 date of federal authorization of the Illinois
program, and we substituted that date for the federal effective date language. Had
USEPA written something like “the effective date of the used oil program in the
authorized State in which the release is located,” the Board would have used the
November 22, 1993 effective date of the Illinois used oil standards.
1) Stop the release;
2) Contain the released used oil;
35
3) Properly clean up and manage the released used oil and other materials; and

coordinator shall must immediately identify the character, exact
source, amount, and a real extent of any released materials. He or she
may do this by observation or review of facility records of manifests
and, if necessary, by chemical analysts.
C) Concurrently, the emergency coordinator shall must assess possible
hazards to human health or the environment that may result from the
release, fire, or explosion. This assessment must consider both direct
and indirect effects of the release, fire, or explosion (e.g., the effects
of any toxic, irritating, or asphyxiating gases that are generated, or the
effects of any hazardous surface water run-offs from water of
chemical agents used to control fire and heat-induced explosions).
D) If the emergency coordinator determines that the facility has had a
release, fire, or explosion which that could threaten human health, or
the environment, outside the facility, he or she shall must report his
findings as follows:
i) If his assessment indicated that evacuation of local areas may
be advisable, he or she shall must immediately notify
appropriate local authorities. He or she shall must be
available to help appropriate officials decide whether local
areas should be evacuated; and
ii) He shall
must immediately notify either the government
official designated as the on-scene coordinator for the
geographical area (in the applicable regional contingency
plan under federal 40 CFR 300), or the National Response
Center (using their 24-hour toll free number (800) 424-8802).
The report must include the following information: Name
name and telephone number of reporter; Name name and
address of facility; Time time and type of incident (e.g.,
release, fire); Name name and quantity of material(s)

materials involved, to the extent known; The the extent of
injuries, if any; and the possible hazards to human health, or
the environment, outside the facility.
E) During an emergency, the emergency coordinator shall must 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 must 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 must 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
must 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 must ensure that the following
occur, in the affected area(s) 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; and

Section 739.153 Rebuttable presumption Presumption for used oil Used Oil
a) To ensure that used oil is not a hazardous waste under the rebuttable presumption of
Section 739.110(b)(1)(ii), the owner or operator of a used oil processing facility shall
must 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 must make this determination by the following means:
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 1,000 ppm total halogens, it is
presumed to be a hazardous waste because it has been mixed with halogenated
hazardous waste listed in Subpart D of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.Subpart D. 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 incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.111, to show
that the used oil does not contain significant concentrations of halogenated hazardous
constituents listed in Appendix H of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.Appendix H). U.S.
EPA Publication SW-846, Third Edition, is available from the Government
Printing Office, Superintendent of Documents, PO Box 371954, Pittsburgh, PA
15250-7954. (202) 783-3238 (document number 955-001-00000-1).
1) The rebuttable presumption does not apply to metalworking oils and fluids
containing chlorinated paraffins, if they are processed, through a tolling
arrangement as described in Section 739.124(c), to reclaim metalworking oils
46
and fluids. The presumption does apply to metalworking oils and fluids if
such oils and 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 CFC 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.

g) Response to releases. Upon detection of a release of used oil to the environment that
is not subject to the federal requirements of 40 CFR 280, Subpart F and which has
occurred after October 4, 1996, a processor shall must perform the following
cleanup steps:
BOARD NOTE: Corresponding 40 CFR 279.54(g) applies to releases that
“occurred after the effective date of the authorized used oil program for the State in
which the release is located.” The Board adopted the used oil standards in docket
R93-4 at 17 Ill. Reg. 20954, effective November 22, 1993. USEPA approved the
Illinois standards at 61 Fed. Reg. 40521 (Aug. 5, 1996), effective October 4,
1996. The Board has interpreted “the effective date of the authorized used oil
program” to mean the October 4, 1996 date of federal authorization of the Illinois
program, and we substituted that date for the federal effective date language. Had
USEPA written something like “the effective date of the used oil program in the
authorized State in which the release is located,” the Board would have used the
November 22, 1993 effective date of the Illinois used oil standards.
1) Stop the release;
2) Contain the released used oil;
3) Properly clean up and manage 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.

hazardous waste, unless the materials are not hazardous waste under
this chapter.
B) If the owner or operator demonstrates that not all contaminated soils
can be practicably removed or decontaminated as required in
subsection (h)(1)(A) of this Section, then the owner or operator shall
must close the tank system and perform post-closure care in
accordance with the closure and post-closure care requirements that
apply to hazardous waste landfills (35 Ill. Adm. Code 725.410).
2) Containers. Owners and operators An owner or operator that store stores
used oil in containers shall must comply with the following requirements:
A) At closure, containers holding used oils or residues of used oil must
be removed from the site;
B) The owner or operator shall must remove or decontaminate used oil
residues, contaminated containment system components,
contaminated soils, and structures and equipment contaminated with

is not subject to the federal requirements of 40 CFR 280, Subpart F and which has
occurred after October 4, 1996, a burner shall must perform the following cleanup
steps:
BOARD NOTE: Corresponding 40 CFR 279.64(g) applies to releases that
“occurred after the effective date of the authorized used oil program for the State in
59
which the release is located.” The Board adopted the used oil standards in docket
R93-4 at 17 Ill. Reg. 20954, effective November 22, 1993. USEPA approved the
Illinois standards at 61 Fed. Reg. 40521 (Aug. 5, 1996), effective October 4,
1996. The Board has interpreted “the effective date of the authorized used oil
program” to mean the October 4, 1996 date of federal authorization of the Illinois
program, and we substituted that date for the federal effective date language. Had
USEPA written something like “the effective date of the used oil program in the
authorized State in which the release is located,” the Board would have used the
November 22, 1993 effective date of the Illinois used oil standards.
1) Stop the release;
2) Contain the released used oil;
3) Properly clean up and manage 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.
