    competitors,
    who would
    not be subject
    to this expensive
    requirement,
    The
    language
    that the illinois
    EPA
    proposes and the Illinois Pollution
    Control
    Board
    is considering does
    not
    address the unreasonable and
    expensive
    burden,
    and would
    increase
    recycling
    costs
    to
    Illinois
    generators
    due to
    transportation
    costs of common
    and compatible waste often mixed
    with used
    oil,
    even including water.
    Unfortunately,
    the
    Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
    language
    discourages recyclers
    from
    basing
    their business
    in Illinois.
    Illinois
    businesses
    will
    relocate
    to a
    state
    that
    addresses used oil
    recycling with
    the
    simplicity
    of the Federal
    Regulatory
    System. The lost of
    revenue to Illinois
    will
    only compound Illinois
    extreme
    financial problems, and generators in
    rural areas would lose service
    options
    and face increased
    costs for
    recycling,
    NORA started out these
    discussions with
    the
    Illinois
    EPA
    believing
    we
    were
    dealing
    with mainly
    a
    paperwork issue to
    rectilj some problems.
    Now it has
    also
    become a permitting issue
    as
    well,
    with much
    more
    serious potential
    consequences
    for
    Illinois
    based
    recyclers
    and
    generators. Why
    can’t
    Illinois
    be like
    other
    states?
    For all the
    reasons
    NORA has
    articulated — we
    agree with the need
    of
    NORA’s
    proposed language
    being

    of
    additional
    documentation
    and
    special
    facility
    permitting
    imposed
    by
    the
    current
    rules.
    These
    requirements are
    already addressed
    by
    the
    Federal
    Regulatory
    System.
    The
    current
    duplicative
    Illinois
    regulations
    do
    not
    increase
    compliance
    with
    existing
    Federal
    Regulations
    — especially
    when
    the
    Illinois
    EPA
    does
    not
    receive,
    analyze
    or track
    manifests
    and
    their
    data.
    The
    fundamental
    problem
    is
    that
    the
    regulations
    that
    the
    Illinois
    EPA
    has
    proposed
    to
    regulate
    used
    oil
    and
    compatible
    wastes
    under
    (mixtures
    that
    are
    considered
    used
    oil under
    the
    Federal
    Regulations),
    does
    not
    allow
    for
    any
    type
    of Illinois
    non-
    hazardous
    transfer
    facilities
    and
    processors
    to
    operate
    under
    just
    the
    used
    oil
    regulations.
    The
    Illinois
    EPA
    has
    proposed
    to
    discontinue
    manifesting
    used
    oils
    — but
    would
    require
    a
    manifest
    for
    mixtures
    regulated
    as used
    oil and
    require
    those
    materials
    to
    go
    to
    specially
    permitted facilities
    in Illinois.
    NORA
    proposes
    that
    all materials
    classified as
    used
    oil
    (under
    the federal
    regulations)
    would
    NOT
    need
    a
    manifest
    --
    but
    all
    relevant
    information
    would
    be
    set
    forth
    in
    a
    tracking
    document
    (bill
    of
    lading). In
    addition,
    the
    requirement
    of
    specially
    permitted
    facilities
    to
    handle
    such
    materials, if based
    in
    Illinois
    would
    put
    Illinois
    based
    recyclers
    at
    a severe

    disadvantage
    when
    compared
    to
    their
    out
    of state competitors,
    who would
    not
    be
    subject
    to
    this
    expensive
    requirement.
    The
    language
    that
    the
    Illinois
    EPA proposes
    and
    the Illinois
    Pollution
    Control
    Board
    is
    considering
    does not
    address
    the unreasonable
    and expensive
    burden, and
    would
    increase
    recycling
    costs
    to
    Illinois
    generators
    due
    to transportation
    costs of
    common
    and
    compatible
    waste
    often mixed
    with
    used oil,
    even including
    water.
    Unfortunately,
    the Illinois
    Environmental
    Protection
    Agency
    language
    discourages
    recyclers
    from
    basing
    their
    business
    in
    Illinois.
    Illinois businesses
    will relocate
    to
    a
    state
    that
    addresses
    used
    oil
    recycling
    with
    the
    simplicity
    of
    the Federal
    Regulatory
    System.
    The
    loss of
    revenue
    to Illinois
    will
    only compound
    Illinois’
    extreme
    financial
    problems,
    and
    generators
    in
    rural
    areas would
    lose
    service
    options
    and face
    increased
    costs for
    recycling.
    NORA
    started
    out these
    discussions
    with
    the Illinois
    EPA
    believing
    we
    were
    dealing
    with
    mainly
    a
    paperwork
    issue to
    rectify some
    problems.
    Now it
    has also
    become
    a
    permitting

    well,
    with much
    more
    serious
    potential
    consequences
    for
    Illinois based
    recyclers
    and
    generators.
    For

    BOARD’S SPECIAL
    WASTE
    REGULATIONS
    CONCERNING
    USED OIL,
    35 ILL. ADM. CODE
    808, 809
    To whom it may
    concern,
    Thermo Fluids
    Inc. (TFI) is asking the Illinois
    Pollution Control
    Board to elinjinate
    the above
    proposed
    amendments that
    would necessitate
    a
    uniform
    hazardous waste manifests
    for all used oil
    shipments and
    require
    a
    special facility permit
    to accept certain
    used
    oil
    mixtures. These requirements
    are already
    addressed
    by the
    Federal
    Used
    Oil Management
    System which Illinois has
    adopted. TFI feels these
    amendments
    are
    unwarranted and will not promote
    protection of human health and
    the
    environment.
    TFI is a used oil recycler who operates in the
    Western United States. TFI
    has
    the
    ability to service
    used oil
    generators
    in Illinois. With certainty,
    TFI can claim used oil is
    a
    valuable
    commodity aggressively
    sought
    after
    to
    produce Recycled Fuel Oil (RFO), Marine
    Diesel Oil (MDO), and Re-refined industrial
    base lube.
    In
    the current market, used
    oil generators
    get
    paid for their oil.
    The competition for this
    used
    oil proves
    its value
    as a
    commodity. Certainly a commodity that
    can be
    easily
    recycled would have more used oil
    recycling
    facilities able
    to
    accept it. Most importantly, used oil is being recycled
    and the
    recycling
    program at the
    state
    level works.
    Requiring
    uniform hazardous waste manifests and special permits
    to
    handle
    used oil in Illinois
    will burden the
    state, used oil generators, transporters
    and processors, thereby reducing the effectiveness
    of
    the
    program.
    Oil
    recycling facilities in Illinois already have agency reporting requirements,
    agency inspections, waste
    analysis plans
    and other permit conditions
    (by
    rule) that IPCB regulates.
    That said, it would seem prudent
    to
    determine if a need
    for more rules are truly warranted.
    A
    Life
    Cycle
    Analysis
    (LCA) drafted from
    agency and
    stake
    holder cooperation
    would
    be one resource that could produce clear results. For example, there
    may be
    additional used oil
    generator, transporter
    and
    processor operating
    costs and compliance costs to consider.
    Further, there may be
    additional agency costs to roll out this type of program. Both industry
    and agency
    costs
    and their
    long term
    benefits (if
    any)
    should
    be
    examined
    in an LCA before significant changes
    to a working
    program are
    considered. Presently it is unclear what additional permitting
    and waste
    tracking
    forms will
    accomplish.
    TFI
    will argue
    that states that have implemented and run
    a
    used oil program that is stricter than the
    Federal
    standards
    are not any
    more successful than those
    of states who regulate only by the Federal standards.
    States
    that do
    not
    require used oil
    to
    be transported on a waste manifest or received
    by a
    special permitted
    facility
    have
    successful
    programs. This point could be further substantiated in the LCA.
    If Illinois
    continues to
    unnecessarily
    burden generators and recyclers, the less likely the market will
    promote
    recycling. This is seen
    in California who has only three permitted
    used oil recycling facilities in the
    state. In

    THERMO
    FLUIDS’
    The Responsible
    Solution
    the California market the state provides incentives to used oil generators born from taxes. Contrary
    to what
    the State of Illinois has suggested, market experience has shown over-regulation is
    counter-intuitive and
    damaging to the recycling initiatives. A recent report authored in May 2008
    by
    Lawrence
    Livermore National
    Laboratory (LLNL) will support this point.
    TFI does not see any
    significance
    by the
    Illinois Pollution
    Control Board (IPCB) to require manifests
    for used
    oil
    shipments.
    If
    there was a
    need
    to
    track these
    shipments
    further,
    Illinois EPA would receive, analyze
    and
    track used oil manifests. At the present time I am not aware of this happening. It is note worthy
    to mention
    the state of Arizona tried to track used oil manifests and quickly rescinded the requirement.
    V
    TFI challenges the thought that use of a waste
    manifest would allow
    for better tracking of the used oil mixture
    volumes. We respectfully disagree with this unsubstantiated statement and submit that Illinois
    used oil rules
    would offer no more
    protection of
    human
    health than the Federal program. For example,
    some states, such
    as
    Arizona, require similar used oil tracking. In fact, the
    Arizona quarterly
    used
    oil report
    requires transporters,
    used oil
    processers
    and
    marketers to provide the same if not more oil collection detail than Illinois EPA. TFI
    would like
    to
    see a report that acknowledges
    there is evidence
    of a
    direct connection between
    the use of
    a
    hazardous waste
    manifest and the elimination of used oil pollution. Again, I point to the need of an LCA
    to
    provide facts.
    TFI
    feels that before these amendments
    are fully considered
    a
    formal LCA be commissioned.
    The LCA
    should be
    developed by state agency
    and stakeholders
    to
    address the current status of the Illinois used oil
    recycling
    program before
    additional amendments are made. Inaccurate or lack of research into the need for
    more
    rules may result in proposed
    amendments that overly burden state
    resources, negatively affect
    the used
    oil recycling
    market (including used oil
    mixtures) and ultimately impair a working state recycling program.

    CODE
    808, 809
    PRE-FILED
    TESTIMONY
    OF
    CHRIS
    RICCI
    On
    behalf
    of
    the recyclers
    and generators
    of
    used
    oil in Illinois,
    Ricky’s
    Oil
    Service,
    Inc.
    is asking
    the
    Illinois Pollution
    Control
    Board
    to mitigate
    the
    unreasonable
    and expensive
    regulatory
    burden
    of additional
    documentation
    and
    special
    facility
    permitting
    imposed
    by
    the current
    rules.
    These
    requirements
    are
    already
    addressed
    by
    the Federal
    Regulatory
    System.
    The
    current
    duplicative
    Illinois
    regulations
    do
    not
    increase
    compliance
    with
    existing
    Federal
    Regulations
    — especially
    when
    the
    Illinois
    EPA
    does not
    receive, analyze
    or track
    manifests
    and
    their data.
    The
    fundamental
    problem
    is that
    the regulations
    that the
    Illinois
    EPA has
    proposed
    to
    regulate used
    oil
    and
    compatible
    wastes
    under
    (mixtures
    that
    are considered
    used
    oil under
    the
    Federal
    Regulations),
    does
    not
    allow
    for
    any type
    of
    Illinois
    non-hazardous
    transfer
    facilities
    and processors
    to
    operate
    under just
    the used
    oil regulations.
    The
    Illinois
    EPA
    has proposed
    to
    discontinue
    manifesting
    used
    oils
    — but
    would
    require a
    manifest
    for
    mixtures
    regulated
    as used
    oil
    and require
    those
    materials
    to go
    to
    specially
    permitted
    facilities
    in
    Illinois.
    NORA proposes
    that all
    materials
    classified
    as used
    oil
    (under the
    federal
    regulations)
    would
    NOT
    need
    a
    manifest
    -- but
    all relevant
    information
    would
    be set forth
    in
    a
    tracking
    document
    (bill
    of lading).
    In
    addition,
    the requirement
    of specially
    permitted
    facilities
    to handle
    such
    materials,
    if based
    in Illinois
    would
    put
    Illinois
    based
    recyclers
    at a severe
    disadvantage
    when compared
    to
    their out
    of
    state
    competitors,
    who
    would
    not be
    subject
    to
    this
    expensive
    requirement.

    The
    language that
    the
    Illinois
    EPA proposes
    and the
    Illinois Pollution
    Control Board
    is considering
    does not
    address the
    unreasonable
    and
    expensive
    burden,
    and would
    increase recycling
    costs
    to Illinois
    generators
    due to transportation
    costs
    of
    common
    and compatible
    waste
    often mixed
    with
    used oil, even including
    water.
    Unfortunately,
    the Illinois
    Environmental
    Protection
    Agency
    language
    discourages
    recyclers
    from
    basing their
    business
    in Illinois.
    Illinois
    businesses
    will
    relocate
    to
    a state that addresses
    used oil
    recycling
    with
    the
    simplicity
    of
    the Federal Regulatory
    System.
    The
    lost
    of revenue
    to Illinois
    will only
    compound Illinois
    extreme
    financial problems,
    and generators
    in
    rural
    areas
    would
    lose service
    options
    and
    face increased
    costs for recycling.
    NORA started
    out these discussions
    with
    the Illinois EPA believing
    we
    were
    dealing
    with
    mainly
    a paperwork
    issue to rectify
    some problems.
    Now
    it has
    also become
    a
    permitting
    issue as well,
    with much
    more serious potential
    consequences
    for Illinois based
    recyclers and
    generators.
    Why
    can’t
    Illinois
    be like
    other states?
    For
    all the reasons NORA
    has
    articulated — we
    agree
    with
    the need
    of
    NORA’s
    proposed
    language
    being
    submitted
    today and the
    importance of
    it
    being adopted
    by the board
    and
    added
    to the state regulations.

    submitted,

    OF:

    CODE 808, 809
    PRE-FILED
    TESTIMONY
    OF BILL
    BRIGGS
    On behalf
    of
    the
    recyclers
    and generators of
    used oil in Illinois,
    ORRCO
    is asking
    the
    Illinois
    Pollution Control
    Board
    to
    mitigate
    the unreasonable
    and expensive
    regulatory
    burden of additional
    documentation
    and special
    facility permitting
    imposed
    by
    the current
    rules.
    These requirements
    are already
    addressed
    by the Federal
    Regulatory
    System. The
    current
    duplicative Illinois
    regulations
    do
    not increase
    compliance with
    existing Federal
    Regulations
    — especially
    when the Illinois
    EPA
    does
    not receive,
    analyze or track
    manifests and their
    data.
    The
    fundamental problem
    is that the
    regulations that the
    Illinois
    EPA
    has proposed
    to
    regulate used
    oil
    and compatible
    wastes
    under
    (mixtures
    that are considered
    used oil
    under
    the Federal Regulations),
    does not
    allow for any
    type of Illinois
    non-hazardous
    transfer
    facilities and processors
    to operate
    under
    just
    the
    used oil regulations.
    The Illinois
    EPA has proposed
    to discontinue
    manifesting used
    oils
    — but would
    require
    a
    manifest
    for mixtures regulated
    as used
    oil and require
    those materials
    to go to specially
    permitted
    facilities in Illinois.
    NORA
    proposes
    that all materials
    classified as
    used
    oil
    (under
    the federal regulations)
    would
    NOT
    need
    a
    manifest
    -- but all relevant
    information
    would be
    set forth in
    a
    tracking
    document
    (bill of lading).
    In addition,
    the requirement
    of
    specially permitted
    facilities
    to
    handle
    such
    materials, if
    based in Illinois
    would
    put
    Illinois based recyclers
    at a severe
    disadvantage when
    compared
    to their out of
    state
    competitors, who
    would not
    be subject
    to
    this expensive
    requirement.
    The
    language
    that the Illinois
    EPA proposes
    and the Illinois
    Pollution
    Control
    Board
    is
    considering
    does
    not
    address the
    unreasonable
    and expensive
    burden, and would
    increase

    Unfortunately,
    the

    discourages

    Why
    can’t

    HOWARD
    On
    behalf
    of
    the
    recyclers
    and
    generators
    of
    used
    oil
    in
    Illinois,
    Gencor
    Industries
    is asking
    the
    Illinois
    Pollution
    Control Board
    to mitigate
    the
    unreasonable
    and
    expensive
    regulatory
    burden
    of
    additional
    documentation
    and
    special
    facility
    permitting
    imposed by
    the
    current
    rules.
    These
    requirements
    are
    already
    addressed
    by
    the
    Federal
    Regulatory
    System.
    The
    current duplicative
    Illinois
    regulations
    do
    not
    increase
    compliance
    with
    existing
    Federal
    Regulations
    especially
    when
    the
    Illinois
    EPA
    does
    not
    receive, analyze
    or track
    manifests
    and
    their
    data.
    The
    fundamental
    problem
    is that
    the
    regulations
    that
    the
    Illinois
    EPA
    has
    proposed
    to
    regulate
    used
    oil
    and
    compatible
    wastes
    under
    (mixtures
    that
    are
    considered
    used
    oil
    under
    the
    Federal
    Regulations),
    does
    not
    allow
    for
    any
    type
    of
    Illinois
    non-hazardous
    transfer
    facilities
    and
    processors
    to
    operate
    under
    just
    the
    used
    oil
    regulations.
    The
    Illinois
    EPA
    has
    proposed
    to
    discontinue
    manifesting
    used
    oils
    but
    would require
    a
    manifest
    for
    mixtures
    regulated
    as used
    oil
    and
    require
    those
    materials
    to
    go
    to
    specially
    permitted
    facilities
    in Illinois.
    NORA
    proposes
    that
    all
    materials
    classified
    as
    used
    oil
    (under
    the
    federal
    regulations)
    would
    NOT need
    a
    manifest
    --
    but
    all
    relevant
    information
    would
    be
    set
    forth
    in
    a
    tracking
    document
    (bill
    of
    lading).
    In
    addition,
    the
    requirement
    of
    specially
    permitted facilities
    to
    handle
    such
    materials,
    if
    based
    in
    Illinois
    would
    put
    Illinois
    based
    recyclers
    at
    a
    severe
    disadvantage
    when
    compared
    to
    their
    out
    of
    state
    competitors,
    who
    would
    not
    be
    subject
    to
    this
    expensive
    requirement.

    The language
    that
    the
    Illinois
    EPA proposes and the Illinois Pollution
    Control Board is considering does not address the
    unreasonable and
    expensive burden, and would increase recycling
    costs to Illinois generators
    due to
    transportation costs
    of
    common
    and compatible waste often mixed
    with used oil, even including water.
    Unfortunately,
    the Illinois
    Environmental Protection Agency language
    discourages recyclers from
    basing their business in Illinois.
    Illinois
    businesses
    will relocate
    to a state that addresses used oil recycling
    with the
    simplicity of the Federal Regulatory System. The lost of revenue
    to Illinois
    will only compound Illinois extreme financial problems,
    and generators in
    rural areas would
    lose
    service options and face increased costs for recycling.
    NORA started out these discussions with the
    Illinois
    EPA believing we were
    dealing with mainly a paperwork issue to rectify some problems. Now it has
    also become a
    permitting issue as well, with much more serious potential
    consequences for Illinois based recyclers and generators. Why can’t Illinois
    be
    like other states?
    For all the
    reasons NORA has articulated — we agree with the need of
    NORA’s
    proposed
    language being submitted today and the importance of it
    being
    adopted by the
    board and
    added to
    the state regulations.

    PRE-FILED
    TESTIMONY
    OF The
    Chicago Petroleum
    Club
    On behalf
    of the recyclers
    and
    generators
    of
    used
    oil in Illinois,
    The
    Chicago
    Petroleum
    Club
    is
    asking
    the Illinois Pollution
    Control
    Board
    to mitigate
    the
    unreasonable
    and
    expensive
    regulatory
    burden of additional
    documentation
    and special
    facility permitting
    imposed
    by the
    current rules.
    These
    requirements
    are already
    addressed
    by
    the Federal
    Regulatory
    System.
    The current
    duplicative
    Illinois regulations
    do not
    increase compliance
    with
    existing Federal
    Regulations
    — especially
    when the Illinois
    EPA does
    not receive, analyze
    or track manifests
    and
    their
    data.
    The fundamental problem
    is that the
    regulations that
    the Illinois
    EPA
    has proposed
    to regulate
    used
    oil and compatible
    wastes under

    that
    are considered

    non-hazardous
    transfer facilities
    and
    processors
    to operate under
    just the

    regulations.
    The Illinois EPA
    has proposed
    to discontinue
    manifesting
    used oils
    — but would require
    a
    manifest for
    mixtures

    as used oil
    and require
    those materials
    to go to

    permitted facilities
    in Illinois.

    In addition,
    the requirement
    of specially

    The language

    PRE-FILED
    TESTIMONY OF DAVID
    CARSON
    On behalf of the
    recyclers
    and generators of used oil in Illinois, Consolidated
    Recycling
    Co.
    Inc. is
    asking
    the
    Illinois Pollution
    Control Board to mitigate the unreasonable and expensive
    regulatory burden of
    additional
    documentation and special facility permitting imposed
    by the
    current rules. These requirements are already addressed
    by
    the Federal
    Regulatory System.
    The current duplicative Illinois regulations
    do
    not increase
    compliance with existing Federal
    Regulations — especially when the Illinois EPA
    does not receive,
    analyze
    or track manifests
    and
    their
    data.
    The
    fundamental problem is that the regulations that the Illinois EPA has proposed
    to
    regulate used
    oil and compatible wastes under (mixtures that are considered used
    oil under
    the
    Federal Regulations),
    does
    not allow for
    any
    type of Illinois non-hazardous transfer
    facilities and
    processors
    to operate
    under
    just
    the
    used
    oil regulations.
    The
    Illinois EPA has proposed to discontinue manifesting used oils — but would require
    a
    manifest
    for mixtures regulated as used oil and require those materials to go to specially
    permitted
    facilities in Illinois. NORA proposes that all materials classified as used oil (under
    the
    federal regulations) would NOT need a manifest -- but
    all relevant information
    would be
    set
    forth in a
    tracking document (bill of lading). In addition, the requirement of specially
    permitted
    facilities to handle such materials, if based in Illinois would put
    Illinois
    based
    recyclers at a
    severe disadvantage when compared to
    their
    out of state
    competitors,
    who
    would not be
    subject to this expensive requirement.
    The
    language
    that the Illinois EPA proposes and the Illinois
    Pollution Control Board

    recycling
    costs to
    Illinois generators due
    to
    transportation costs of common and compatible
    waste
    often mixed with used
    oil, even including water.

    Unfortunately,
    the
    Illinois
    Environmental
    Protection

    discourages
    recyclers
    from
    basing

    Illinois

    would

    Why
    can’t

    On

    your

    The

    do
    not

    regulations.
    The
    illinois EPA has
    proposed to discontinue
    manifesting used
    oils
    — but
    would require
    aznanifest for
    mixtures

    proposes
    that
    all

    (under
    the federal regulations)
    would
    NOT
    need a

    foilli
    in

    Dear

    Pollution
    Control
    Board:
    I
    am
    writing
    in
    support
    of
    the
    petition
    by
    NORA
    to
    improve
    the
    used
    oil
    recycling
    system
    in
    Illinois
    by
    dispensing
    with
    the
    manifest
    for
    used
    oil
    and
    materials
    regulated
    as
    used
    oil.
    All
    of
    the
    information
    that
    EPA
    might
    need
    will
    be
    put
    on
    a
    bill
    of
    lading
    or
    other
    tracking
    document.
    There
    is
    no
    need
    for
    duplicative
    paperwork
    which,
    by
    the
    way,
    IEPA
    does
    not
    receive
    and
    never
    looks
    at.
    The
    federal
    used
    oil
    regulations
    don’t
    require
    a
    manifest
    and
    neither
    do
    any
    of
    the
    states
    that
    border
    Illinois.
    There
    is
    absolutely
    no
    environmental
    benefit
    from
    the
    manifest.
    It’s
    an
    expensive
    waste
    of
    paper
    that
    imposes
    an
    unfair
    burden
    on
    Illinois
    used
    oil
    generators
    and
    transporters.
    Please
    adopt
    NORA’s
    petition.
    It
    is
    sensible,
    fair
    and
    will
    end
    a
    big
    paperwork
    headache.
    Thanks

    CODE 808, 809
    Dear Illinois Pollution Control
    Board:
    I
    am writing in support of the petition by NORA to improve the used oil recycling
    system in Illinois by
    dispensing
    with the manifest for used oil and materials
    regulated as used
    oil. All
    of the
    information
    that IEPA might need will be put on a
    bill of lading or other tracking document. There is no need for duplicative paperwork
    which
    The IEPA does review, store, track or analyze. The federal used oil
    regulations don’t require a manifest and neither do any of the states that border
    Illinois. There is absolutely
    no environmental benefit from
    the manifest. It’s an
    expensive waste of paper that imposes an unfair burden on Illinois used oil
    generators and transporters.
    Please
    adopt NORA’s
    petition.
    It
    is sensible,
    fair
    and will end a big paperwork
    headache.
    Thanks for
    your consideration.

    BOARD
    On
    behalf
    of
    the
    recyclers
    and
    generators
    of used
    oil
    in
    Illinois,
    Universal

    LLC
    is asking
    the Illinois
    Pollution
    Control
    Board
    to
    change
    the
    language
    In
    the state
    regulations
    that
    causes
    an
    unreasonable
    and ezpensivc
    regulatory
    burden
    to the
    regulated
    community.
    The
    cun’ent Illinois
    regulations
    require
    additional
    documentation
    and
    facility
    permitting
    above
    and
    beyond
    the
    current
    Federal
    regulations,
    The current
    regulations
    do not
    increase
    compliance,
    especially
    when
    the
    Illinois
    EPA does
    not
    receive,
    analyze
    or
    track manifests
    and
    their data.
    The
    problem
    is
    that the
    regulations
    for used
    oil
    and used
    oil mixtures,
    does
    not
    allow
    for any type
    of Illinois
    non-hazardous
    transfer
    facilities
    and
    processors
    to
    operate
    under the used
    oil
    regulations.
    The
    Illinois
    EPA has
    proposed
    to
    discontinue
    manifesting
    used
    oils, bza
    would
    require a manifst
    far
    mixtures
    of
    used oil
    and
    other contaminants,
    hi addition,
    these mixtures
    are
    required to
    go to permitted
    facilities.
    NOR.A
    penposes
    that
    all
    materials
    classified
    as used
    oil (under
    the
    federal
    regulations)
    would
    NOT

    In addition,
    the
    requirement
    that

    and
    special
    facility

    imposed
    by
    the
    current

    These
    requirements
    are
    already
    addressed
    by
    the
    FederaL
    Regulatory
    System.
    The
    current
    duplicative
    Illinois
    regulations
    do
    not
    increase
    compliance
    with
    existing

    The

    CODE 808,

    PRE-FILED
    TESTIMONY
    OF
    Howard Miller
    On
    behalf
    of
    the recyclers
    and
    generators
    of
    used
    oil in Illinois,
    Solvent
    Systems
    International
    is asking
    the
    Illinois Pollution
    Control
    Board to
    mitigate
    the
    unreasonable and
    expensive
    regulatory
    burden
    of
    additional
    documentation
    and
    special
    facility permitting
    imposed
    by the
    current
    rules.
    These
    requirements
    are already
    addressed
    by the Federal
    Regulatory System.
    The
    current
    duplicative
    Illinois
    regulations
    do not
    increase
    compliance
    with
    existing
    Federal
    Regulations
    — especially
    when
    the
    illinois
    EPA
    does
    not
    receive, analyze
    or track manifests
    and
    their
    data.
    The
    fundamental
    problem is
    that
    the
    regulations
    that
    the Illinois
    EPA has
    proposed to
    regulate
    used
    oil and compatible
    wastes under
    (mixtures
    that
    are
    considered
    used
    oil under
    the Federal
    Regulations),
    does
    not
    allow
    for
    any
    type
    of Illinois non-hazardous
    transfer
    facilities
    and processors
    to
    operate
    under
    just
    the
    used
    oil regulations.
    V
    The
    Illinois
    EPA
    has proposed
    to discontinue
    manifesting
    used oils - but
    would require
    a
    manifest
    for mixtures regulated
    as used oil
    and require
    those
    materials
    to go to specially
    permitted
    thoiities
    in
    illinois. NORA
    proposes
    that all
    materials classified
    as
    used oil (under
    the federal
    regulations) would
    NOT
    need a
    manifest
    -- but all relevant
    infonnation
    would
    be set
    forth
    in a
    tracking
    document
    (bill
    of
    lading).
    In
    addition, the
    requirement
    of specially
    permitted
    facilities
    to
    handle
    such materials,
    if based in Illinois
    would
    put
    illinois
    based recyclers
    at a
    severe
    disadvantage
    when
    compared
    to their
    out
    of
    state
    competitors,
    who
    would not
    be subject to
    this expensive
    requirement.

    The
    language
    that
    the
    Illinois
    EPA
    proposes
    and
    the
    Illinois
    Pollution
    Control
    Board
    is
    considering
    does
    not
    address
    the
    unreasonable
    and
    expensive
    burden,
    and
    would
    increase
    recycling
    costs
    to
    Illinois
    generators
    due
    to
    transportation
    costs
    of
    common
    and
    compatible
    waste
    often
    mixed
    with
    used
    oil,
    even
    including
    water.
    Unfortunately,
    the
    Illinois
    Environmental
    Protection
    Agency
    language
    discourages
    recyclers
    from
    basing
    their
    business
    in
    Illinois.
    Illinois
    businesses
    will
    relocate
    to
    a
    state
    that
    addresses
    used
    oil
    recycling
    with
    the
    simplicity
    of
    the
    Federal
    Regulatory
    System.
    The
    lost
    of
    revenue
    to
    Illinois
    will
    only
    compound
    Illinois
    extreme
    financial
    problems,
    and
    generators
    in
    rural
    areas
    would
    lose
    service
    options
    and
    face
    increased
    costs
    for
    recycling.
    NORA
    started
    out
    these
    discussions
    with
    the
    illinois
    EPA
    believing
    we
    were
    dealing
    with
    mainly
    a
    paperwork
    issue
    to
    rectify
    some
    problems.
    Now
    it
    has
    also

    more
    serious
    potential
    consequences
    for
    Illinois
    based
    recyclers
    and
    generators.
    Why
    can’t
    Illinois

    materials
    classified
    as
    used
    oil
    (under
    the
    federal
    regulations)
    would
    NOT
    need
    a

    all
    relevant
    information

    be

    forth

    a

    document

    in
    addition,
    the
    requirement
    of
    specially
    permitted
    facilities
    to
    handle
    such
    materials,
    if
    based
    in
    Illinois
    would
    put
    Illinois
    based
    recyclers
    at
    a
    severe
    disadvantage
    when
    compared
    to
    their
    out
    of
    state
    competitors,
    who
    would
    not
    be
    subject
    to
    this
    expensive
    requirement.

    FROM-
    The
    language
    that
    the
    Illinois
    EPA
    proposes
    and
    the
    Illinois
    Poflution
    Control
    Board
    is
    considering
    does
    not
    address
    the
    unreasonable
    and
    expensive
    burden,
    and
    would
    increase
    recycling
    costs
    to
    Illinois
    generators
    due
    to
    transportation
    costs
    of
    common
    and
    compatible
    waste
    often
    rnbted
    with
    used
    oil,
    even
    including
    water.
    Unfortunately,
    the
    Illinois
    Environmental
    Protection
    Agency
    language
    discourages
    recyclers
    from
    basing
    their
    business
    in
    Illinois.
    illinois
    businesses
    will
    relocate
    to
    a
    state
    that
    addresses
    used
    oil
    recycling
    with
    the
    simplicity
    of
    the
    Federal
    Regulatozy
    System.
    The
    lost
    of
    revenue
    to
    Illinois
    will
    only
    compound
    Illinois
    extreme
    financial
    problems,
    and
    generators
    in
    rural
    areas
    would
    lose
    sewice
    options
    and
    face
    increased
    costs
    for
    recycling.
    NORA
    started
    out
    these
    discussions
    with
    the
    Illinois
    EPA
    believing
    we
    were
    dealing
    with
    mainly
    a
    paperwork
    issue
    to
    recti
    some
    problems.
    Now
    it
    has
    also
    become
    a
    permitting
    issue
    as
    well,
    with
    much
    more
    serious
    potential
    consequences
    for
    Illinois
    based
    recyclers
    and
    generators.
    Why
    can’t
    illinois
    be
    like
    other
    states?
    For
    all
    the
    reasons
    NORA
    has
    articulated
    -
    we
    agree
    with
    the
    need
    of
    NORA’s
    proposed
    language
    being
    submitted
    today
    and
    the
    importance
    of
    It
    being
    adopted
    by
    the
    board
    and
    added
    to
    the
    state
    regulations.
