The

not
address the unreasonable and

Illinois

RE:
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS
TO THE
Pollution
Control
Board
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

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.

further questions or
comments please contact me at (602) 477-8623.

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

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
(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
regulate4
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

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

I

to
improve
the
used

recycling

in
Illinois
by
dispensing

All
of
the
information
that

might
need
will
be
put
on
a

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

It
is
sensible,
fair
and
will
end

Thanks
for
your
consideration.

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.

On

is asking

to
change
the
language
In

that
causes
an
unreasonable

regulatory
burden
to the

The
cun’ent Illinois
regulations
require
additional
documentation
and

above
and
beyond
the
current
Federal

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

regulations.
The
Illinois
EPA has
proposed
to

these mixtures

would
NOT
need

In addition,
the

that

The

cause an
