Used oil determined to contain more than 1,000 ppm total halogens is presumed to have been mixed with halogenated hazardous waste. Used oil containing more than 1.000 ppm total halogens must be managed as a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste unless the used oil can be demonstrated not to have been mixed with halogenated hazardous waste (i.e., unless the presumption is rebutted). This requirement is called the "rebuttable presumption.' The rebuttable presumption works as follows in California: 1. Generators, transporters and used oil collection centers are required -to test or apply knowledge to determine whether a used oil shipment has a total halogen content over or under 1,000 ppm. If a generator, transporter or used oil collection center chooses to apply knowledge to determine that used oil does not contain more than 1,000 ppm total halogens, the application of knowledge must be done in accordance with criteria specified in 22 CCR: section 66279.10(a)(1)(B) for generators, section 66279.10(a)(3)(B) for transporters and section 66279.10(a)(6) for used oil collection centers. 2. Used oil transfer facilities and used oil recycling facilities are required to test each shipment of used oil for total halogens [22 CCR section 66279.90(a)] before accepting the shipment " 3. If it is determined that the used oil shipment contains greater than 1,000 ppm total halogens, used oil is presumed to have been mixed with halogenated hazardous waste and must be handled as RCRA hazardous waste, unless the presumption is rebutted. 4. in order to rebut the presumption that the used oil shipment was mixed with RCRA hazardous waste, the used oil handler must demonstrate that the used oil was not mixed with halogenated hazardous waste. Where this demonstration is successfully made, the used oil is regulated as used oil. The rebuttable presumption is deemed rebutted for the following types of used oils where specified conditions [22 CCR section 66279.10(b)] are met: metalworking oils/fluids containing chlorinated paraffins, refrigeration oils contaminated with chloroflurocarbohs, and used oil which is exclusively household "do-it-yourselfee, used oil or used oil from a conditionally exempt small quantity generator. (A conditionally exempt small quantity generator is a generator who generates no more than 100 kilograms of hazardous waste in a month and does not accumulate more than 1,000 kilograms of hazardous waste onsite at any time.) 3 Iransportation of Used Oil In general, California law requires that used oil be transported by a registered hazardous waste transporter. However, then: are a few instances in which the use of a registered hazardous waste transporter is not required. These are as follows: • Householders and conditionally exempt.small quantity generators are allowed to transport up to 20 gallons of used oil per trip to an authorized used oil collection center where a single container does not exceed 5 gallons, if specified conditions are met. Authorized used oil collection centers include: certified used oil collection centers [Public Resources Code section 486221, recycle -only household hazardous waste collection facilities, or collection facilities operating pursuant to HSC section 25250.11. • Pelson, including householders and conditionally exempt small quantity generators are allowed to transport up to 5 gallons of used oil per trip to an authorized hazardous waste facility; including a permitted household hazardous waste collection facility, if specified conditions are met [ HSC section 25163(c)]. • Mobile maintenance operations (see below) may.transport up to 55 gallons of used oil in any one vehicle at any one time from an off-site location to a consolidation point. When used oil is transported by a registered hazardous waste transporter, either a full hazardous waste manifest or a modified hazardous waste manifest must be used. When a modified hazardous waste manifest is used, the driver is required to provide the generator (at the time of used oil pickup) with a legible copy of a receipt for each quantity of used oil received. The generator must maintain these receipts for 3 years. Each receipt must contain the following information: (A) Generator's name, address, identification number (if applicable) and telephone number. (B) Generator's signature or signature of generator's representative. (C) Date of shipment - (D) State manifest number (pre-printed on the manifest). (E) Volume and shipping description of each type of used oil received. (F) Name and address of the authorized facility to which the used oil is being transported.
