BoReTech)e In California, the following additional requirements apply: • Containers must be labeled as "DRAINED USED OIL FILTERS" (not as hazardous waste) and marked with the initial date of filter accumulation or receipt. • Filters in amounts less than 1 ton must not be accumulated/stored on site longer than I year (storage of more than one ton is limited to 180 days). • Used Oil Filter Recordkeeping: Persons generating, transporting, or receiving used oil filters must use a bill of lading to record the transfer of filters. The bills of lading must be kept on the premises of the generator, transporter, and receiving facilities for at least 3 years from the date of shipment. Bills of lading must include: - The generator's company name, address, and telephone number; - The transporter's company name, address, and telephone number; - The receiving facility company name, address, and telephone number; - The quantity and size of each used oil container shipped; and - The date of transfer. If used oil filters are not managed per the above requirements, they must be managed as hazardous wastes. OILY DEBRIS Oily debris includes used filters from the oil filtering operation, saturated oily rags, oily sludge (including waste generated while maintaining the loop cleanouts), absorbent materials and other material filtered during used oil transfer. • The oily debris container must be a metal 55 -gallon ring -type drum in good condition and must be kept closed except when adding or removing waste. The container must be compatible with oil. No free liquids are allowed in the oily debris container. If free liquids are observed, add only enough oil spill absorbent to soak it up. • Oily debris must be managed as a hazardous waste unless tested and determine otherwise. Consult the Boretech Facility Manager. ANTIFREEZE Ethylene glycol is the most common ingredient used in antifreeze coolant. Ethylene glycol slowly degrades under high temperature conditions and forms acids. Manufactures also include small amounts of chemicals, called " inhibitors," which counteract the acids. Over time, these inhibitors are depleted, decreasing the corrosion protection provided by the inhibitors. Due to the decomposition of the ethylene glycol and the inhibitors, the antifreeze must be periodically changed. Boretech Hazardous Materials & Hazardous Waste Management Operations Plan Page 126
