Section 11-279-53 - Rebuttable presumption for used oil(a) To ensure that used oil managed at a processing/re-refining facility is not hazardous waste under the rebuttable presumption of section 11-279-10(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) Applying knowledge of the halogen content of the used oil 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 subchapter D of chapter 11-261. The owner or operator may rebut the presumption by demonstrating that the used oil does not contain hazardous waste (for example, by using an analytical method from SW-846, Edition III, to show that the used oil does not contain significant concentrations of halogenated hazardous constituents listed in appendix VIII of chapter 11-261). EPA Publication SW-846, Third Edition, is available from the United States Government Printing Office, Superintendent of Documents, P.O. Box 371954, Pittsburgh PA 15250-7954, (202) 521-1800 (document number 955-001-00000-1). (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 oils/fluids. The presumption does apply to metalworking oils/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.[Eff ] (Auth: HRS §§ 342J-4, 342J-31, 342J-35, 342J-52) (Imp: 40 C.F.R. §279.53 )
