Kludt & Sons, Inc. (Kludt) I have a few questions, but <br />first a little background: <br />Kludt provides a valuable service to San Joaquin County, helping to ensure that used oil and filters are <br />properly managed instead of being improperly disposed of or abandoned. Kludt is a Certified Collection <br />Center for used oil and used oil filters for use primarily by agricultural businesses and other small <br />businesses. They may, at their discretion, accept oil from the general public, but this is not typical. Kludt <br />keeps a log of all oil drop-offs at their location. Kludt does not use the equipment in order to dispose of <br />the used oil that they generate as a business, so all used oil collected is from the public or small business <br />and they wish to avoid being categorized as a Large Quantity Generator. <br />Here are my questions: <br />1) If a small business wishes to drop off used oil at Kludt and does not give an EPA ID number, is the <br />used oil to be accepted or turned away? <br />2) What happens if the EPA ID number given to Kludt by a small business at the time of delivery <br />turns out to be inaccurate or incorrect? Would Kludt face any repercussions from this scenario? <br />3) Should Kludt accept used oil from residents and, if so, what protocols must they follow to avoid <br />being categorized a Large Quantity Generator? <br />4) If Kludt were to use the oil equipment for used oil or used oil filters generated as a direct result of <br />Kludt's operations, what steps would they have to take to separate this waste stream from the <br />one that they accept from the public and small businesses? <br />Please advise. <br />Thank you, <br />David <br />David Gorton, Management Analyst <br />Planning and Materials Management Section <br />San Joaquin County - Public Works <br />Solid Waste Division <br />1810 E.
