<br />(3) "Oil recovery operations" means the physical separation

<br />conditions are met:
<br />270
<br />(5) Any residual materials removed from a unit that:is exempt
<br />under this subdivision are managed in accordance with all other

<br />uniforms, gloves, and linens and towels which may become soiled
<br />with hazardous waste during commercial or industrial use, and
<br />are made reusable by laundering or comparable methods of

<br />release that is required to be reported to any state or federal
<br />agency.
<br />(1) The oil recovery operations are conducted at a petroleum
<br />refinery, or at another facility owned or operated by the

<br />(3) The recovered oil is inserted into petroleum refinery
<br />process units to produce fuel or other refined petroleum

<br />ered oil that contain constituents that render these materials
<br />hazardous under the regulations adopted pursuant to Sections
<br />25140 and 25141, other than those for which the material is being
