Used oil processors/re-refiners burning used oil for energy recovery under the following conditions are not subject to rule 335-14-17-.07;

(i) The used oil is burned in an on-site space heater that meets the requirements of rule 335-14-17-.03(5); or

(ii) The used oil is burned for purposes of used oil processing, which is considering burning incidentally to used oil processing;

4. Used oil processors/re-refiners who direct shipments of off-specification used oil from their facility to a used oil burner or first claim that used oil that is to be burned for energy recovery meets the used oil fuel specifications set forth in rule 335-14-17-.02(2) must also comply with rule 335-14-17-.08; and

5. Used oil processors/re-refiners who dispose of used oil also must comply with rule 335-14-17-.09.

(2)Notification.

(a) Identification numbers. Used oil processors and re-refiners must obtain an EPA Identification Number within 30 days of the effective date of these Rules or prior to processing/re-refining used oil, whichever is later.

(b) Mechanics of notification. A used oil processor or re-refiner must submit a correct and complete ADEM Form 8700-12 (including all appropriate attachment pages and fees) reflecting current used oil activities to the Department annually. The Department must receive the ADEM Form 8700-12 (including all appropriate attachment pages and fees) no later than the 15^th day of the specified month in the specified month schedule located at rule 335-14-1-.02(1)(a).

(c) The ADEM Form 8700-12, Notification of Regulated Waste Activity, is not complete without payment of all the appropriate fees specified in Chapter 335-1-6 of the ADEM Administrative Code.

(3)General facility standards.

(a) Preparedness and prevention. Owners and operators of used oil processing and re-refining facilities must comply with the following requirements:

1. Maintenance and operation of facility. Facilities must be maintained and operated to minimize the possibility of a fire, explosion, or any unplanned sudden or non-sudden release of used oil to air, soil, or surface water which could threaten human health or the environment.

2. Required equipment. All facilities must be equipped with the following, unless none of the hazards posed by used oil handled at the facility could require a particular kind of equipment specified in 335-14-17-.06(3)(a)2.(i) through (iv):

(i) An internal communications or alarm system capable of providing immediate emergency instruction (voice or signal) to facility personnel;

(ii) A device, such as a telephone (immediately available at the scene of operations) or a hand-held two-way radio, capable of summoning emergency assistance from local enforcement, fire departments, or ADEM Field Operations Division or local emergency response teams;

3. Testing and maintenance of equipment. All facility communications or alarm systems, fire protection equipment, spill control equipment, and decontamination equipment, where required, must be tested and maintained as necessary to assure its proper operation in time of emergency.

4. Access to communications or alarm system.

(i) Whenever used oil is being poured, mixed, spread, or otherwise handled, all personnel involved in the operation must have immediate access to an internal alarm or emergency communication device, either directly or through visual or voice contact with another employee, unless such a device is not required in 335-14-17-.06(3)(a)2.

(ii) If there is ever just one employee on the premises while the facility is operating, the employee must have immediate access to a device, such as a telephone (immediately available at the scene of operation) or a hand-held two-way radio, capable of summoning external emergency assistance, unless such a device is not required in 335-14-17-.06(3)(a)2.

5. Required aisle space. The owner or operator must maintain aisle space to allow the unobstructed movement of personnel, fire protection equipment, spill control equipment, and decontamination equipment to any area of facility operation in an emergency, unless aisle space is not needed for any of these purposes.

6. Arrangements with local authorities.

(i) The owner or operator must attempt to make the following arrangements, as appropriate for the type of used oil handled at the facility and the potential need for the services of these organizations:

(I) Arrangements to familiarize local law enforcement, fire departments, and emergency response teams with the layout of the facility, properties of used oil handled at the facility and associated hazards, places where facility personnel would normally be working, entrances to roads inside the facility, and possible evacuation routes;

(II) Where more than one police and fire department might respond to an emergency, agreements designating primary emergency authority to a specific police and a specific fire department, and agreements with any others to provide support to the primary emergency authority;

(III) Agreements with ADEM Field Operations Division emergency response teams, emergency response contractors, and equipment suppliers; and

(IV) Arrangements to familiarize local hospitals with the properties of used oil handled at the facility and the types of injuries or illnesses which could result from fires, explosions, or releases at the facility.

(ii) Where State of Alabama or local authorities decline to enter into such arrangements, the owner or operator must document the refusal in the operating record.

(b) Contingency plan and emergency procedures. Owners and operators of used oil processing and re-refining facilities must comply with the following requirements:

1. Purpose and implementation of contingency plan.

(i) Each owner or operator must have a contingency plan for the facility. The contingency plan must be designed to minimize hazards to human health or the environment from fires, explosions, or any unplanned sudden or non-sudden release of used oil to air, soil, or surface water.

(ii) The provisions of the plan must be carried out immediately whenever there is a fire, explosion, or release of used oil which could threaten human health or the environment.

2. Content of contingency plan.

(i) The contingency plan must describe the actions facility personnel must take to comply with 335-14-17-.06(3)(b)1. and 6. in response to fires, explosions, or any unplanned sudden or non-sudden release of used oil to air, soil, or surface water at the facility.

(ii) If the owner or operator has already prepared a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan or some other emergency or contingency plan, the owner or operator need only amend that plan to incorporate used oil management provisions that are sufficient to comply with the requirements of 335-14-17.

(iii) The plan must describe arrangements agreed to by local police departments, fire departments, hospitals, contractors, and ADEM Field Operations Division and local emergency response teams to coordinate emergency services, pursuant to 335-14-17-.06(3)(a)6.

(iv) The plan must list names, addresses, and phone numbers (office and home) of all persons qualified to act as emergency coordinator [see 335-14-17-.06(3)(b)5.], and this list must be kept up to date. Where more than one person is listed, one must be named as primary emergency coordinator and others must be listed in the order in which they will assume responsibility as alternates.

(v) The plan must include a list of all emergency equipment at the facility [such as fire extinguishing systems, spill control equipment, communications and alarm systems (internal and external), and decontamination equipment], where this equipment is required. This list must be kept up to date. In addition, the plan must include the location and a physical description of each item on the list, and a brief outline of its capabilities.

(vi) The plan must include an evacuation plan for facility personnel where there is a possibility that evacuation could be necessary. This plan must describe signal(s) to be used to begin evacuation, evacuation routes, and alternate evacuation routes (in cases where the primary routes could be blocked by releases of used oil or fires).

3. Copies of contingency plan. A copy of the contingency plan and all revisions to the plan must be:

(i) Maintained at the facility; and

(ii) Submitted to all local law enforcement, fire departments, hospitals, ADEM Field Operations Division and local emergency response teams that may be called upon to provide emergency services. A record of this submittal should be kept in the operating record of the facility.

(i) Applicable regulations are revised;

(ii) The plan fails in an emergency;

(iii) The facility changes-in its design, construction, operation, maintenance, or other circumstances-in a way that materially increases the potential fires, explosions, or releases of used oil, or changes the response necessary in an emergency;

(iv) The list of emergency coordinators changes; or

(v) The list of emergency equipment changes.

5. Emergency coordinator. At all times, there must be at least one employee either on the facility premises or on call (i.e., available to respond to an emergency by reaching the facility within a short period of time) with the responsibility for coordinating all emergency response measures. This emergency coordinator must be thoroughly familiar with all aspects of the facility's contingency plan, all operations and activities at the facility, the location and characteristic of used oil handled, the location of all records within the facility, and facility layout. In addition, this person must have the authority to commit the resources needed to carry out the contingency plan.

Guidance: The emergency coordinator's responsibilities are more fully spelled out in 335-14-17-.06(3)(b)6. Applicable responsibilities for the emergency coordinator vary, depending on factors such as type and variety of used oil handled by the facility, and type and complexity of the facility.

6. Emergency procedures.

(i) Whenever there is an imminent or actual emergency situation, the emergency coordinator (or the designee when the emergency coordinator is on call) must immediately:

(I) Activate internal facility alarms or communication systems, where applicable, to notify all facility personnel; and

(II) Notify appropriate State of Alabama or local agencies with designated response roles if their help is needed.

(ii) Whenever there is a release, fire, or explosion, the emergency coordinator must immediately identify the character, exact source, amount, and areal extent of any released materials. He may do this by observation or review of facility records or manifests and, if necessary, by chemical analyses.

(iii) Concurrently, the emergency coordinator must assess possible hazards to human health or the environment that may result from the release, fire, or explosion. This assessment must consider both direct and indirect effects of the release, fire, or explosion (e.g., the effects of any toxic, irritating, or asphyxiating gases that are generated, or the effects of any surface water run-offs contaminated from water or chemical agents used to control fire and heat-induced explosions).

(iv) If the emergency coordinator determines that the facility has had a release, fire, or explosion which could threaten human health, or the environment, outside the facility, he must report his findings as follows:

(I) If his assessment indicated that evacuation of local areas may be advisable, he must immediately notify appropriate local authorities. He must be available to help appropriate officials decide whether local areas should be evacuated; and

(II) He must immediately notify either the government official designated as the on-scene coordinator for the geographical area (in the applicable regional contingency plan under Part 1510 of 40 CFR), or the National Response Center [using their 24-hour toll free number 800/424-8802 or 202/267-2675, and the Department 334/271-7700 between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday] or the Alabama Department of Public Safety (334/242-4378, 24 hours a day). The report must include:

1. Name and telephone number of reporter;

2. Name and address of facility;

3. Time and type of incident (e.g., release, fire);

4. Name and quantity of material(s) involved, to the extent known;

5. The extent of injuries, if any; and

6. The possible hazards to human health, or the environment, outside the facility.

(v) During an emergency, the emergency coordinator must take all reasonable measures necessary to ensure that fires, explosions, and releases do not occur, recur, or spread to other used oil or hazardous waste at the facility. These measures must include, where applicable, stopping processes and operation, collecting and containing released used oil, and removing or isolating containers.

(vi) If the facility stops operation in response to a fire, explosion, or release, the emergency coordinator must monitor for leaks, pressure buildup, gas generation, or ruptures in valves, pipes, or other equipment, wherever this is appropriate.

(vii) Immediately after an emergency, the emergency coordinator must provide for recycling, storing, or disposing of recovered used oil, contaminated soil or surface water, or any other material that results from a release, fire, or explosion at the facility.

(viii) The emergency coordinator must ensure that, in the affected area(s) of the facility:

(I) No waste or used oil that may be incompatible with the released material is recycled, treated, stored, or disposed of until cleanup procedures are completed; and

(II) All emergency equipment listed in the contingency plan is cleaned and fit for its intended use before operations are resumed.

(III) The owner or operator must notify the Department and other appropriate State of Alabama and local authorities that the facility is in compliance with 335-14-17-.06(3)(b)6.(viii)(I) and (II) before operations are resumed in the affected area(s) of the facility.

(ix) The owner or operator must note in the operating record the time, date and details of any incident that requires implementing the contingency plan. Within 15 days after the incident, he must submit a written report on the incident to the Department. The report must include:

(I) Name, address, and telephone number of the owner or operator;

(II) Name, address, and telephone number of the facility;

(III) Date, time, and type of incident (e.g., fire, explosion);

(IV) Name and quantity of material(s) involved;

(V) The extent of injuries, if any;

(VI) An assessment of actual or potential hazards to human health or the environment, where this is applicable;

(VII) Estimated quantity and disposition of recovered material that resulted from the incident.

(4)Rebuttable presumption for used oil.

(a) To ensure that used oil managed at a used oil processing/re-refining facility is not hazardous waste under the rebuttable presumption of Rule 335-14-17-.02(1)(b)1.(ii), the owner or operator of a used oil processing/re-refining facility must determine whether the total halogen content of used oil managed at the facility is above or below 1,000 ppm.

(b) The owner or operator must make this determination by:

1. Testing the used oil; or

2. Obtaining certification of the halogen content of the used oil from the generator in light of the materials or processes used.

(c) If the used oil contains greater than or equal to 1,000 ppm total halogens, it is presumed to be a hazardous waste because it has been mixed with halogenated hazardous waste listed in rule 335-14-2-.04. The owner or operator may rebut the presumption by demonstrating that the used oil does not contain hazardous waste [for example, by showing that the used oil does not contain significant concentrations of halogenated hazardous constituents listed in 335-14-2 -Appendix VIII].

1. The rebuttable presumption does not apply to metalworking oils/fluids containing chlorinated paraffins, if they are processed, through a tolling agreement, to reclaim metalworking oil/fluids. The presumption does apply to metalworking oil/fluids if such oils/fluids are recycled in any other manner, or disposed.

2. The rebuttable presumption does not apply to used oils contaminated with chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) removed from refrigeration units where the CFCs are destined for reclamation. The rebuttable presumption does apply to used oils contaminated with CFCs that have been mixed with used oil from sources other than refrigeration units.

(5)Used oil management. Used oil processors/ re-refiners are subject to all applicable Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures ( 40 CFR Part 112) in addition to the requirements of 335-14-17-.06.
