Reference:

Proposed

to

Concerning

Oil

Dear

Ms. Custer:

I

would

like to

express

my appreciation to

the

Board

for

its

proposal

to improve

used

oil regulations

in the

State

of Illinois.

Eliminating

the

requirements

for

unnecessary

and

duplicate

manifests

will

not

only

reduce

the amount

of

paperwork

involved

but

will

also

lessen

the

costs.

Although

I

realize

that

this will

not

eliminate

the Board’s

tracking

of

used

oil shipments

but

it

seems

to me

that it will

be extremely

cost

effective

and

definitely

more

efficient.

To me

it seems

that the

amendments

will

keep

everyone

on

an

even

keel

and

will

reduce

the

encumbrance

on

Illinois

businesses.

These

imposed

burdens

are not

a part of

doing

business

in

other

states.

I,

Donald

Kleine,

owner

of

Vortex

Recycling

urge

the Board

to

adopt

it proposed

amendments

without

any

changes.

COMMENTS

OF

WESTERN

OIL, INC.

Western

Oil,

Inc

praises

the

Board

for its carefully

well

thought-out

proposal

to improve

used

oil

regulations

in

the

State

of Illinois. Eliminating

the

requirement

for redundant

and duplicative

manifests

will

reduce

paperwork

and

costs. This

is especially

important

for small

businesses.

Under

the

Board’s

proposed

amendments

the

tracking

of

used

oil shipments

will continue

— but

will be much

more efficient

and

cost-effective.

The proposed

amendments

will help

level the

playing field

by reducing

the

burden on

businesses

in Illinois.

These

burdens

are not

imposed

on businesses

in other

states.

Western

Oil, Inc.

urges

the Board

to approve

its

proposed

amendments

without

any changes.

Sincerely,

Thank

you

for

this opportunity

to

provide public

comment

in

the above-referenced

rulemaking

proposed

amendment.

I

submit

this

comment

on

behalf

of

Southwest

Oil,

lnc,

a

member

of

NORA.

Southwest

Oil

has

over 34

years

of

experience

and

service

in

the

industry

and

is

founded

on

the service

we

provide

our

customers.

This

commitment

to

extends

to

every

customer

by

maintaining

an

uncompromising

standard

to

and

integrity,

encouraging

Illinois

businesses

to

properly

handle

their

recyclable

waste.

Southwest

Oil

is

grateful

to

the

board for

their

time

and

careful

consideration

of

this

rulemaking

proposed

amendment

to

improve

used

oil

regulations

through

paperwork

efficiency

and

eliminating

the

disadvantages

Illinois

businesses

experience

in

doing

business

in

Illinois

than

in

neighboring

states.

Eliminating

the

requirements

for

unnecessary

and

duplicative

manifest

will

reduce

the

burdensome

paperwork

and

cost.

These

burdens

are

not

imposed

on

business

in

other

states.

The

proposed

rulemaking

will

reduce

the

burden

on

Illinois

businesses

and

create

the

ability

for

Illinois

businesses

to

have

an

opportunity

to

compete

in

these

hard

economic

times.

Under

the

Board’s

proposed

amendments,

the

tracking

of

used

shipments

will

continue

with

the

added

benefit of

being

more

efficient

and

effective.

Southwest

again

thanks

the

for

their

time,

and

urges

RE: PROPOSED

AMENDMENTS TO THE BOARD’S SPECIAL WASTE REGULATIONS

CONCERNING

USED

OIL, 35 ILL. ADM. CODE 739, 808,

809

(R06-20)

Dear Ms.

Gun,

Thermo

Fluids Inc. (TFI) applauds

the

Illinois

Pollution Control Board’s decision

to

eliminate

the need to

use a uniform

hazardous

waste

manifest

for

all used oil shipments.

The

transportation

document

requirements

are already addressed

by

the

Federal Used

Oil

Management

System and

the new

amendments will encourage the recycling

of used oil.

It is

note worthy to mention the state of

Arizona

tried to track used

oil

manifests when they

adopted the

Federal

Used

Oil Management

Standards.

Arizona quickly

rescinded the

requirement.

TEl believes this decision will reduce the administrative

burden

required

to

manage

manifests for used

oil shipments.

TEl

believes Illinois is

making the

right amendment in

this

bill to encourage

recycling. Our

hope

is that the state will promote these

regulatory

improvements to other valuable

resources,

such as

used antifreeze. Used antifreeze is

a sought

after commodity that is

recycled in the

Southwest

United States without requirements

for

manifesting and special

use permits.

For

the

reasons listed above, TFI agrees with the Board

to adopt its proposed amendments

without

any

changes.

Should you

have any further

questions or comments please contact me

at (602) 477-8623.
