Section 33-24-05-653 - Rebuttable presumption for used oil1. To ensure that used oil managed at a processing facility is not hazardous waste under the rebuttable presumption of paragraph 2 of subdivision a of subsection 2 of section 33-24-05-610, the owner or operator of a used oil processing facility must determine whether the total halogen content of used oil managed at the facility is above or below one thousand parts per million.2. The owner or operator must make this determination by: a. Testing the used oil; orb. Applying knowledge of the halogen content of the used oil in light of the materials or processes used.3. If the used oil contains greater than or equal to one thousand parts per million total halogens, it is presumed to be hazardous waste because it has been mixed with halogenated hazardous waste listed in sections 33-24-02-15 through 33-24-02-19. 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 appendix V of 33-24-02). a. The rebuttable presumption does not apply to metalworking oils or fluids containing chlorinated paraffins, if they are processed, through a tolling agreement, to reclaim metalworking oils or fluids. The presumption does apply to metalworking oils or fluids if such oils or fluids are recycled in any other manner, or disposed.b. The rebuttable presumption does not apply to used oils contaminated with chlorofluorocarbons removed from refrigeration units where the chlorofluorocarbons are destined for reclamation. The rebuttable presumption does apply to used oils contaminated with chlorofluorocarbons that have been mixed with used oil from sources other than refrigeration units.N.D. Admin Code 33-24-05-653
