Section V-4005 - Used Oil Specifications

A. Used oil burned for energy recovery and any fuel produced from used oil by processing, blending, or other treatment is subject to regulation under this Chapter unless it is shown not to exceed any of the allowable levels of the constituents and properties shown in Table 1 of this Section. Once used oil that is to be burned for energy recovery has been shown not to exceed any allowable levels and the person making that showing complies with LAC 33:V.4081, 4083, and 4085.B, the used oil is no longer subject to this Chapter.

Table 1 Used Oil Not Exceeding Any Allowable Level Shown Below Is Not Subject to LAC 33:V.Chapter 40 When Burned for Energy Recovery1
Constituent/Property	Allowable Level
Arsenic	5 ppm maximum
Cadmium	2 ppm maximum
Chromium	10 ppm maximum
Lead	100 ppm maximum
Flash Point	100°F minimum
Total Halogens	4,000 ppm maximum2

¹ The allowable level does not apply to mixtures of used oil and hazardous waste that continue to be regulated as hazardous waste (see LAC 33:V.4003.B).

² Used oil containing more than 1,000 ppm total halogens is presumed to be a hazardous waste under the rebuttable presumption provided under LAC 33:V.4003.B.1. Such used oil is subject to LAC 33:V.Chapter 30 rather than LAC 33:V.Chapter 40 when burned for energy recovery unless the presumption of mixing can be successfully rebutted.
