S.C. Code Regs. § § 61-107.279.B.11
Used oil burned, and any fuel produced from used oil by processing, blending, or other treatment, is subject to regulation under this regulation unless it is shown not to exceed any of the allowable levels of the constituents and properties in the specification shown in Table 1 below. Once used oil that is to be burned has been shown not to exceed any specification and the person making that showing complies with 279.72, 279.73, and 279.74.b., the used oil is no longer subject to this regulation.
Table: USED OIL NOT EXCEEDING ANY ALLOWABLE LEVEL SHOWN BELOW IS NOT SUBJECT TO THIS PART 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 degrees F minimum. |
Total halogens | 4,000 ppm maximum.2 |
Note: Applicable standards for the burning of used oil containing PCBs are imposed by 40 CFR 761.20(e) |
1The allowable levels do not apply to mixtures of used oil and hazardous waste that continue to be regulated as hazardous waste (see 279.10(b))
2Used oil containing more than 1,000 ppm total halogens is presumed to be a hazardous waste under the rebuttable presumption provided under 279.10.b.(1). Such used oil is subject to Subpart H of R.61-79.266 rather than this regulation when burned for energy recovery unless the presumption of mixing can be successfully rebutted.
