RE: R2006-020
Dear Illinois Pollution Control Board Members
:
Our company is writing you in regards to : In the Matter of Amendments to the Board's Special
Waste Rules Concerning Used Oil, 35 III. Adm. Code 808, 809, RC 06-20
.
Thank you for this opportunity to provide public comment in the above-referenced rulemaking
. I
submit this comment on behalf of Excel Environmental, Inc., a member of NORA. Excel
Environmental, Inc. has been a Special Waste Hauler in the State of Illinois since 1974 (Ill EPA #
0 164). Excel has always issued a Waste Stream Receipt with every pickup of used oil . Each
generator is listed on a Daily Route Sheet . Every generator and every gallon secured is tracked
with a clear paperwork trail to industrial boiler incineration . Excel also utilizes an independent
EPA approved lab to insure that adherence to EPA regulations on used oil is certified
.
Excel respects and operates with full intentions of total environmental compliance . Given the
above facts Excel, a member of NORA for the past 15 years, respectfully requests and endorses
NORA's current rule proposal presently before the Illinois Pollution Control Board and the IEPA
.
In addition, we request that the board adopt the language proposed by NORA
.
Special Waste manifesting for used oil, including those substances entitled to be regulated as used
oil pursuant to Federal and State regulation, is burdensome and unnecessary
.
In closing, our company believes that the current manifesting requirements in Illinois for Used
Oil and items regulated as Used Oil are unnecessary and burdensome . We strongly encourage the
Board to adopt the language proposed by NORA. We look forward to the Board's adoption of
NORA's rule proposal
.
Thank you for your time
.
Best Regards,
Ken Petruck
