SUBPART B: APPLICABILITY
109
110
Section 739.110 Applicability
111
112 This
Section identifies those materials that are subject to regulation as used oil under this Part.
113 This
Section also identifies some materials that are not subject to regulation as used oil under this
114 Part, and indicates whether these materials may be subject to regulation as hazardous waste
115 under
35 Ill. Adm. Code 702, 703, and 720 through 728.
116
117 a) Used oil. Used oil is presumed to be recycled, unless a used oil handler disposes
118
of used oil or sends used oil for disposal. Except as provided in Section 739.111,
119
the regulations of this Part apply to used oil and to materials identified in this
120
Section as being subject to regulation as used oil, whether or not the used oil or
121
material exhibits any characteristics of hazardous waste identified in Subpart C of
122
35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.
123
124 b) Mixtures
of used oil and hazardous waste.
125
126
1) Listed hazardous waste.
127
128
A) A
mixture of used oil and hazardous waste that is listed in Subpart
129
D of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721 is subject to regulation as hazardous

 
JCAR350739-0805904r01
130
waste under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702, 703, and 720 through 728,
131
rather than as used oil under this Part.
132
133
B) Rebuttable
presumption for used oil. Used oil containing more
134
than 1,000 ppm total halogens is presumed to be a hazardous waste
135
because it has been mixed with halogenated hazardous waste listed
136
in Subpart D of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721. An owner or operator may
137
rebut this presumption by demonstrating that the used oil does not
138
contain hazardous waste (for example, by showing that the used oil
139
does not contain significant concentrations of halogenated
140
hazardous constituents listed in Appendix H of 35 Ill. Adm. Code
141
721).
142
143
i) This
rebuttable presumption does not apply to
144
metalworking oils or fluids containing chlorinated
145
paraffins, if they are processed, through a tolling
146
arrangement as described in Section 739.124(c), to reclaim
147
metalworking oils or fluids. This presumption does apply
148
to metalworking oils or fluids if such oils or fluids are
149
recycled in any other manner, or disposed.
150
151
ii) This
rebuttable presumption does not apply to used oils
152
contaminated with chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) removed
153
from refrigeration units where the CFCs are destined for
154
reclamation. This rebuttable presumption does apply to
155
used oils contaminated with CFCs that have been mixed
156
with used oil from sources other than refrigeration units.
157
158
2) Characteristic
hazardous waste. A mixture of used oil and hazardous
159
waste that solely exhibits one or more of thea hazardous waste
160
characteristicscharacteristio identified in Subpart C of 35 Ill. Adm. Code
161
721 and a mixture of used oil and hazardous waste that is listed in Subpart
162
D of this Part solely because it exhibits one or more of the characteristics
163
of hazardous waste identified in Subpart C of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721 is
164
subject to the following:
165
166
A) Except
as provided in subsection (b)(2)(C) of this Section,
167
regulation as hazardous waste under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702, 703,
168
and 720 through 728 rather than as used oil under this Part, if the
169
resultant mixture exhibits any characteristics of hazardous waste
170
identified in Subpart C of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721; or
171
172
B) Except
as provided in subsection (b)(2)(C) of this Section,

 
JCAR350739-0805904r01
173
regulation as used oil under this Part, if the resultant mixture does
174
not exhibit any characteristics of hazardous waste identified under
175
Subpart C of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.
176
177
C) Regulation as used oil under this Part, if the mixture is of used oil
178
and a waste that is hazardous solely because it exhibits the
179
characteristic of ignitability (e.g., ignitable-only mineral spirits),
180
provided that the resultant mixture does not exhibit the
181
characteristic of ignitability under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.121.
182
183
3) Conditionally
exempt small quantity generator hazardous waste. A
184
mixture of used oil and conditionally exempt small quantity generator
185
hazardous waste regulated under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.105 is subject to
186
regulation as used oil under this Part.
187
188
Materials containing or otherwise contaminated with used oil.
189
190
1) Except as provided in subsection (c)(2) of this Section, the following is
191
true of a material containing or otherwise contaminated with used oil from
192
which the used oil has been properly drained or removed to the extent
193
possible so that no visible signs of free-flowing oil remain in or on the
194
material:
195
196
A) The
material is not used oil, so it is not subject to this Part, and
197
198
B) If
applicable, the material is subject to the hazardous waste
199
regulations of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702, 703, and 720 through 728.
200
201
2) A
material containing or otherwise contaminated with used oil that is
202
burned for energy recovery is subject to regulation as used oil under this
203
Part.
204
205
3) Used
oil drained or removed from materials containing or otherwise
206
contaminated with used oil is subject to regulation as used oil under this
207
Part.
208
209 d) Mixtures
of used oil with products.
210
211
1) Except
as provided in subsection (d)(2) of this Section, mixtures of used
212
oil and fuels or other fuel products are subject to regulation as used oil
213
under this Part.
214
215
2) Mixtures
of used oil and diesel fuel mixed on-site by the generator of the

 
JCAR350739-0805904r01
216
used oil for use in the generator's own vehicles are not subject to this Part
217
once the used oil and diesel fuel have been mixed. Prior to mixing, the
218
used oil is subject to the requirements of Subpart C of this Part.
219
220 e) Materials
derived from used oil.
221
222
1) The
following is true of materials that are reclaimed from used oil, which
223
are used beneficially, and which are not burned for energy recovery or
224
used in a manner constituting disposal (e.g., re-refined lubricants):
225
226
A) The
materials are not used oil and thus are not subject to this Part,
227
and
228
229
B) The
materials are not solid wastes and are thus not subject to the
230
hazardous waste regulations of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702, 703, and
231
720 through 728, as provided in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.103(e)(1).
232
233
2) Materials
produced from used oil that are burned for energy recovery (e.g.,
234
used oil fuels) are subject to regulation as used oil under this Part.
235
236
3) Except
as provided in subsection (e)(4) of this Section, the following is
237
true of materials derived from used oil that are disposed of or used in a
238
manner constituting disposal:
239
240
A) The
materials are not used oil and thus are not subject to this Part,
241
and
242
243
B) The
materials are solid wastes and thus are subject to the
244
hazardous waste regulations of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702, 703, and
245
720 through 728 if the materials are listed or identified as
246
hazardous waste.
247
248
4) Used
oil re-refining distillation bottoms that are used as feedstock to
249
manufacture asphalt products are not subject to this Part.
250
251
Wastewater. Wastewater, the discharge of which is subject to regulation under
252
either Section 402 or Section 307(b) of the federal Clean Water Act (including
253
wastewaters at facilities that have eliminated the discharge of wastewater),
254
contaminated with de minimis quantities of used oil are not subject to the
255
requirements of this Part. For purposes of this subsection, "de minimis" quantities
256
of used oils are defined as small spills, leaks, or drippings from pumps,
257
machinery, pipes, and other similar equipment during normal operations or small
258
amounts of oil lost to the wastewater treatment system during washing or draining

 
JCAR350739-0805904r01
259
operations. This exception will not apply if the used oil is discarded as a result of
260
abnormal manufacturing operations resulting in substantial leaks, spills, or other
261
releases, or to used oil recovered from wastewaters.
262
263
Used oil introduced into crude oil pipelines or a petroleum refining facility.
264
265
1) Used
oil mixed with crude oil or natural gas liquids (e.g., in a production
266
separator or crude oil stock tank) for insertion into a crude oil pipeline is
267
exempt from the requirements of this Part. The used oil is subject to the
268
requirements of this Part prior to the mixing of used oil with crude oil or
269
natural gas liquids.
270
271
2) Mixtures
of used oil and crude oil or natural gas liquids containing less
272
than one percent used oil that are being stored or transported to a crude oil
273
pipeline or petroleum refining facility for insertion into the refining
274
process at a point prior to crude distillation or catalytic cracking are
275
exempt from the requirements of this Part.
276
277
3) Used
oil that is inserted into the petroleum refining process before crude
278
distillation or catalytic cracking without prior mixing with crude oil is
279
exempt from the requirements of this Part, provided that the used oil
280
contains less than one percent of the crude oil feed to any petroleum
281
refining facility process unit at any given time. Prior to insertion into the
282
petroleum refining process, the used oil is subject to the requirements of
283
this Part.
284
285
4) Except
as provided in subsection (g)(5) of this Section, used oil that is
286
introduced into a petroleum refining facility process after crude distillation
287
or catalytic cracking is exempt from the requirements of this Part only if
288
the used oil meets the specification of Section 739.111. Prior to insertion
289
into the petroleum refining facility process, the used oil is subject to the
290
requirements of this Part.
291
292
5) Used
oil that is incidentally captured by a hydrocarbon recovery system or
293
wastewater treatment system as part of routine process operations at a
294
petroleum refining facility and inserted into the petroleum refining facility
295
process is exempt from the requirements of this Part. This exemption does
296
not extend to used oil that is intentionally introduced into a hydrocarbon
297
recovery system (e.g., by pouring collected used oil into the wastewater
298
treatment system).
299
300
6) Tank
bottoms from stock tanks containing exempt mixtures of used oil
301
and crude oil or natural gas liquids are exempt from the requirements of

 
JCAR350739-0805904r01
302
this Part.
303
304 h) Used
oil on vessels. Used oil produced on vessels from normal shipboard
305
operations is not subject to this Part until it is transported ashore.
306
307 i) Used oil containing PCBs. Used oil containing PCBs, as defined at 40 CFR 761.3
308
(Definitions), incorporated by reference at 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.111(b), at any
309
concentration less than 50 ppm is subject to the requirements of this Part unless,
310
because of dilution, it is regulated under federal 40 CFR 761 as a used oil
311
containing PCBs at 50 ppm or greater. PCB-containing used oil subject to the
312
requirements of this Part may also be subject to the prohibitions and requirements
313
of 40 CFR 761, including 40 CFR 761.20(d) and (e). Used oil containing PCBs at
314
concentrations of 50 ppm or greater is not subject to the requirements of this Part,
315
but is subject to regulation under federal 40 CFR 761. No person may avoid these
316
provisions by diluting used oil containing PCBs, unless otherwise specifically
317
provided for in this Part or federal 40 CFR 761.

Section 739.111 Used Oil Specifications
322
323 Used oil burned for energy recovery, and any fuel produced from used oil by processing,
324 blending, or other treatment, is subject to regulation under this Part unless it is shown not to
325 exceed
any of the allowable levels of the constituents and properties in the specification shown
326 in the following table. Once used oil that is to be burned for energy recovery has been shown not
327 to exceed any allowable level:specification and the person making that showing complies with
328 Sections 739.172, 739.173, and 739.174(b), the used oil is no longer subject to this Part.

1) In
the event of a discharge of used oil during transportation, the transporter
383
must take appropriate immediate action to protect human health and the
384
environment (e.g., notify local authorities, dike the discharge area).
385
386
2) If
a discharge of used oil occurs during transportation and an official (State
387
or local government or a federal agency) acting within the scope of official
388
responsibilities determines that immediate removal of the used oil is
389
necessary to protect human health or the environment, that official may
390
authorize the removal of the used oil by a transporter that does not have a
391
USEPA identification number and an Illinois special waste identification
392

419 Section 739.144 Rebuttable Presumption for Used Oil

 
JCAR350739-0805904r01
420
421
?
a)
?
To ensure that used oil is not a hazardous waste under the rebuttable presumption of
422
?
Section 739.110(b)(1)(ii), the used oil transporter must determine whether the total
423?
halogen content of used oil being transportedtranTerter or stored at a transfer
424?
facility is above or below 1,000 ppm.
425
426?b)?
The transporter must make this determination by the following means:
427
428? 1)?
Testing the used oil; or
429
430?
2)
?
Applying knowledge of the halogen content of the used oil in light of the
431?
materials or processes used.
432
433?
c)
?
If the used oil contains greater than or equal to 1,000 ppm total halogens, it is
434
?
presumed to be a hazardous waste because it has been mixed with halogenated
435?
hazardous waste listed in Subpart D of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721. The owner or
436?
operator may rebut the presumption by demonstrating that the used oil does not
437?
contain hazardous waste (for example, by showing that the used oil does not contain
438?
significant concentrations of halogenated hazardous constituents listed in Appendix
439
?
H of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721).
440
441
?
1)?
The rebuttable presumption does not apply to metalworking oils and fluids
442?
containing chlorinated paraffins, if they are processed, through a tolling
443?
arrangement as described in Section 739.124(c), to reclaim metalworking
444?
oils and fluids. The presumption does apply to metalworking oils and fluids
445?
if such oils and fluids are recycled in any other manner, or disposed.
446
447?
2)?
The rebuttable presumption does not apply to used oils contaminated with
448?
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) removed from refrigeration units if the
449?
CFCsCFC are destined for reclamation. The rebuttable presumption does
450?
apply to used oils contaminated with CFCs that have been mixed with used
451?
oil from sources other than refrigeration units.
452
453?
d)
?
Record retention. Records of analyses conducted or information used to comply
454?
with subsections (a), (b), and (c) of this Section must be maintained by the
455?
transporter for at least three years.

459 Section 739.145 Used Oil Storage at Transfer Facilities
460
461?
A used oil transporter is subject to all applicable Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures
462?
(40 CFR 112) in addition to the requirements of this Subpart E. A used oil transporter is also

 
JCAR350739-0805904r01
463 subject to the Underground Storage Tank (35 Ill. Adm. Code 731) standards for used oil stored in
464 underground tanks whether or not the used oil exhibits any characteristics of hazardous waste, in
465 addition to the requirements of this Subpart.
466
467 a) Applicability. This Section applies to used oil transfer facilities. Used oil transfer
468
facilities are transportation-related facilities including loading docks, parking
469
areas, storage areas, and other areas where shipments of used oil are held for more
470
than 24 hours during the noimal course of transportation and not longer than 35
471
days. A transfer facility that store used oil for more than 35 days are subject to
472
regulation under Subpart F of this Part.
473
474 b) Storage units. An owner or operator of a used oil transfer facility may not store
475
used oil in units other than tanks, containers, or units subject to regulation under

548

 
JCAR350739-0805904r01
549 g) Labels.
550
551
1) Containers
and aboveground tanks used to store used oil at transfer
552
facilities must be labeled or marked clearly with the words "Used Oil."
553
554
2) Fill
pipes used to transfer used oil into underground storage tanks at
555
transfer facilities must be labeled or marked clearly with the words "Used
556
Oil."
557
558 h) Response
to releases. Upon detection of a release of used oil to the environment
559
that is not subject to the federal requirements of subpart F of 40 CFR 280 and
560
which has occurred after October 4, 1996, an owner or operator of a transfer
561
facility must perform the following cleanup steps:
562
563
BOARD NOTE: Corresponding 40 CFR 279.45(h) applies to releases that
564
"occurred after the effective date of the authorized used oil program for the State
565
in which the release is located." The Board adopted the used oil standards in
566
docket R93-4 at 17 Ill. Reg. 20954, effective November 22, 1993. USEPA
567
approved the Illinois standards at 61 Fed. Reg. 40521 (Aug. 5, 1996), effective
568
October 4, 1996. The Board has interpreted "the effective date of the authorized
569
used oil program" to mean the October 4, 1996 date of federal authorization of the
570
Illinois program, and we substituted that date for the federal effective date
571
language. Had USEPA written something like "the effective date of the used oil
572
program in the authorized State in which the release is located," the Board would
573
have used the November 22, 1993 effective date of the Illinois used oil standards.
574
575
1) Stop the release;
576
577
2) Contain the released used oil;
578
579
3) Properly
clean up and manage the released used oil and other materials;
580
and
581
582
4) If
necessary, repair or replace any leaking used oil storage containers or
583
tanks prior to returning them to service.

631
handled, all personnel involved in the operation must have
632
immediate access to an internal alarm or emergency
633
communication device, either directly or through visual or voice
634
contact with another employee, unless such a device is not required

 
JCAR350739-0805904r01
635
in subsection (a)(2) of this Section.
636
637
B) If
there is ever just one employee on the premises while the facility
638
is operating, the employee must have immediate access to a device,
639
such as a telephone (immediately available at the scene of
640
operation) or a hand-held two-way radio, capable of summoning
641
external emergency assistance, unless such a device is not required
642
in subsection (a)(2) of this Section.
643
644
5) Required
aisle space. The owner or operator must maintain aisle space to
645
allow the unobstructed movement of personnel, fire protection equipment,
646
spill control equipment, and decontamination equipment to any area of
647
facility operation in an emergency, unless aisle space is not needed for any
648
of these purposes.
649
650
6) Arrangements
with local authorities.
651
652
A) The
owner or operator must attempt to make the following
653
arrangements, as appropriate for the type of used oil handled at the
654
facility and the potential need for the services of these
655
organizations:
656
657
i) Arrangements
to familiarize police, fire departments, and
658
emergency response teams with the layout of the facility,
659
properties of used oil handled at the facility and associated
660
hazards, places where facility personnel would normally be
661
working, entrances to roads inside the facility, and possible
662
evacuation routes;
663
664
ii) Where
more than one police and fire department might
665
respond to an emergency, agreements designating primary

properties of used oil handled at the facility and the types
676
of injuries or illnesses that could result from fires,
677
explosions, or releases at the facility.

 
JCAR350739-0805904r01
678
679
B) Where State or local authorities decline to enter into such
680
arrangements, the owner or operator must document the refusal in
681
the operating record.
682
683 b) Contingency
plan and emergency procedures. An owner or operator of a used oil
684
processing or re-refining facility must comply with the following requirements:
685
686
1) Purpose
and implementation of contingency plan.
687
688
A) Each
owner or operator must have a contingency plan for the
689
facility. The contingency plan must be designed to minimize
690
hazards to human health or the environment from fires, explosions,
691
or any unplanned sudden or non-sudden release of used oil to air,
692
soil, or surface water.
693
694
B) The
provisions of the plan must be carried out immediately
695
whenever there is a fire, explosion, or release of used oil that could
696
threaten human health or the environment.
697
698
2) Content of contingency plan.
699
700
A) The
contingency plan must describe the actions facility personnel
701
must take to comply with subsections (b)(1) and (b)(6) of this
702
Section in response to fires, explosions, or any unplanned sudden

B) If
the owner or operator has already prepared a Spill Prevention
707
Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan in accordance with
708
federal 40 CFR 112 or 40 CFR 300, or some other emergency or
709
contingency plan, the owner or operator need only amend that plan
710
to incorporate used oil management provisions that are sufficient
711
to comply with the requirements of this Part.
712
713
C) The
plan must describe arrangements agreed to by local police
714
departments, fire departments, hospitals, contractors, and State and
715
local emergency response teams to coordinate emergency services,
716
pursuant to subsection (a)(6) of this Section.
717
718
D) The
plan must list names, addresses, and phone numbers (office
719
and home) of all persons qualified to act as emergency coordinator
720
(see subsection (b)(5) of this Section), and this list must be kept up

 
JCAR350739-0805904r01
721
to date. Where more than one person is listed, one must be named

736
evacuation routes, and alternate evacuation routes (in cases where
737
the primary routes could be blocked by releases of used oil or
738
fires).
739
740
3) Copies
of contingency plan. Copies of the contingency plan and all
741
revisions to the plan must be disposed of as follows:
742
743
A) Maintained
at the facility; and
744
745
B) Submitted
to all local police departments, fire departments,

765
766
5) Emergency
coordinator. At all times, there must be at least one employee
767
either on the facility premises or on call (i.e., available to respond to an
768
emergency by reaching the facility within a short period of time) with the
769
responsibility for coordinating all emergency response measures. This
770
emergency coordinator must be thoroughly familiar with all aspects of the
771
facility's contingency plan, all operations and activities at the facility, the
772
location and characteristic of used oil handled, the location of all records
773
within the facility, and facility layout. In addition, this person must have
774
the authority to commit the resources needed to carry out the contingency
775
plan.
776
777
BOARD NOTE: USEPA cited the following as guidance: "The
778
emergency coordinator's responsibilities are more fully spelled out in
779
[subsection (b)(6) of this Section]. Applicable responsibilities for the
780
emergency coordinator vary, depending on factors such as type and
781
variety of used oil handled by the facility, and type and complexity of the
782
facility."
783
784 6) Emergency procedures.
785
786
A) Whenever
there is an imminent or actual emergency situation, the
787
emergency coordinator (or the designee when the emergency
788
coordinator is on call) must immediately do the following:
789
790
i) Activate
internal facility alarms or communication systems,
791
where applicable, to notify all facility personnel; and
792
793
ii) Notify
appropriate State or local agencies with designated
794
response roles if their help is needed.
795
796
B) Whenever
there is a release, fire, or explosion, the emergency
797
coordinator must immediately identify the character, exact source,
798
amount, and areala-r-eal extent of any released materials. He or she
799
may do this by observation or review of facility records oref
800
manifests and, if necessary, by chemical analysesanalysts.
801
802
C) Concurrently,
the emergency coordinator must assess possible
803
hazards to human health or the environment that may result from
804
the release, fire, or explosion. This assessment must consider both
805
direct and indirect effects of the release, fire, or explosion (e.g., the
806
effects of any toxic, irritating, or asphyxiating gases that are

 
JCAR350739-0805904r01
807
generated, or the effects of any hazardous surface water run-offs
808
from water oref chemical agents used to control fire and heat-
809
induced explosions).
810
811
D) If
the emergency coordinator determines that the facility has had a
812
release, fire, or explosion that could threaten human health, or the
813
environment, outside the facility, he or she must report his findings
814
as follows:
815
816
i) If
his assessment indicated that evacuation of local areas
817
may be advisable, he or she must immediately notify
818
appropriate local authorities. He or she must be available
819
to help appropriate officials decide whether local areas
820
should be evacuated; and
821
822
ii) He
must immediately notify either the government official
823
designated as the on-scene coordinator for the geographical
824
area (in the applicable regional contingency plan under
825
federal 40 CFR 300), or the National Response Center
826
(using their 24-hour toll free number (800) 424-8802). The
827
report must include the following information: name and
828
telephone number of reporter; name and address of facility;
829
time and type of incident (e.g., release, fire); name and
830
quantity of materials involved, to the extent known; the
831
extent of injuries, if any; and the possible hazards to human
832
health, or the environment, outside the facility.
833
834
E) During
an emergency, the emergency coordinator must take all
835
reasonable measures necessary to ensure that fires, explosions, and
836
releases do not occur, recur, or spread to other used oil or
837
hazardous waste at the facility. These measures must include,
838
where applicable, stopping processes and operation, collecting and
839
containing released used oil, and removing or isolating containers.
840
841
F) If
the facility stops operation in response to a fire, explosion, or
842
release, the emergency coordinator must monitor for leaks,
843
pressure buildup, gas generation, or ruptures in valves, pipes, or
844
other equipment, wherever this is appropriate.
845
846
G) Immediately
after an emergency, the emergency coordinator must
847
provide for recycling, storing, or disposing of recovered used oil,
848
contaminated soil or surface water, or any other material that
849
results from a release, fire, or explosion at the facility.

 
JCAR350739-0805904r01
850
851
H) The
emergency coordinator must ensure that the following occur,
852
in the affected areas of the facility:
853
854
i) No
waste or used oil that may be incompatible with the
855
released material is recycled, treated, stored, or disposed of
856
until cleanup procedures are completed; and
857
858
ii) All
emergency equipment listed in the contingency plan is
859
cleaned and fit for its intended use before operations are
860
resumed.
861
862

968 SUBPART G: STANDARDS FOR USED OIL BURNERS THAT BURN
969
OFF-SPECIFICATION USED OIL FOR ENERGY RECOVERY
970
971
Section 739.164 Used Oil Storage
972
973 A used oil burner is subject to all applicable Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures
974 (federal 40 CFR 112) in addition to the requirements of this Subpart G. A used oil burner is also
975 subject
to the Underground Storage Tank (35 Ill. Adm. Code 731) standards for used oil stored in
976 underground tanks whether or not the used oil exhibits any characteristics of hazardous waste, in
977 addition
to the requirements of this Subpart G.
978

 
JCAR350739-0805904r01
979 a) Storage
units. A used oil burner may not store used oil in units other than tanks,
980
containers, or units subject to regulation under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724 or 725.

999
berm, or retaining wall.
1000
1001
2) The
entire containment system, including walls and floor, must be
1002
sufficiently impervious to used oil to prevent any used oil released into the
1003
containment system from migrating out of the system to the soil,
1004
groundwater, or surface water.
1005
1006 d) Secondary
containment for existing aboveground tanks. Existing aboveground
1007
tanks used to store used oil at burner facilities must be equipped with a secondary
1008

1021
B) An
equivalent secondary containment system.

 
JCAR350739-0805904r01
1022
1023
2) The
entire containment system, including walls and floor, must be
1024
sufficiently impervious to used oil to prevent any used oil released into the
1025
containment system from migrating out of the system to the soil,
1026
groundwater, or surface water.
1027
1028 e) Secondary
containment for newexisting aboveground tanks. A new aboveground
1029
tank used to store used oil at burner facilities must be equipped with a secondary

container or aboveground tank used to store used oil at a burner facility
1052
must be labeled or marked clearly with the words "Used Oil."
1053
1054
2) Fill
pipes used to transfer used oil into underground storage tanks at
1055
burner facilities must be labeled or marked clearly with the words "Used
1056
Oil."
1057
1058 g) Response to releases. Upon detection of a release of used oil to the environment
1059
that is not subject to the federal requirements of subpart F of 40 CFR 280 and
1060
which has occurred after October 4, 1996, a burner must perform the following
1061
cleanup steps:
1062
1063
BOARD NOTE: Corresponding 40 CFR 279.64(g) applies to releases that
1064
"occurred after the effective date of the authorized used oil program for the State

 
JCAR350739-0805904r01
1065
in which the release is located." The Board adopted the used oil standards in
1066
docket R93-4 at 17 Ill. Reg. 20954, effective November 22, 1993. USEPA
1067
approved the Illinois standards at 61 Fed. Reg. 40521 (Aug. 5, 1996), effective
1068
October 4, 1996. The Board has interpreted "the effective date of the authorized
1069
used oil program" to mean the October 4, 1996 date of federal authorization of the
1070
Illinois program, and we substituted that date for the federal effective date
1071
language. Had USEPA written something like "the effective date of the used oil
1072
program in the authorized State in which the release is located," the Board would
1073
have used the November 22, 1993 effective date of the Illinois used oil standards.
1074
1075
1) Stop the release;
1076
1077
2) Contain
the released used oil;
1078
1079
3) Properly
clean up and manage the released used oil and other materials;
1080
and
1081
1082
4) If
necessary, repair or replace any leaking used oil storage containers or
1083
tanks prior to returning them to service.
