OBSERVATION: Containers of used metal oil filters out of compliance with the storage rules were observed on-site. The following used metal oil filter containers were on-site in the used metal oil filters storage area near mechanic shop: -One 55 gallon drum with used metal oil filters observed with no"used oil filter"label, no accumulation start date, no lid, and one paper oil filter in container. Operator states that Ramos Environmental recycles the used metal oil filters, he proceeded to remove the used paper oil filter and place it into a used oil pan. He states that he does not have a container for paper oil filter and that this site does not generate many. He created a label for the container and an accumulation start date. He also found a lid and secured lid with a ring. -One 55 gallon drum with used metal oil filters observed with no accumulation start date and non-secure lid. Operator placed ring on lid and wrote in an accumulation start date. He called front desk to find out the last time used metal oil filters were hauled off site to determine start date. -One 55 gallon drum with used metal oil filters observed with no accumulation start date. Operator wrote in accumulation start date. -Approximately 4 used metal oil filters were observed not containerized. Operator transferred used metal oil filters into one 55 gallon drum with used metal oil filters. Corrected on site. REGULATION GUIDANCE: (b) "used oil filters"are defined as filters which contain a residue of used oil and which are exempt from regulation as a hazardous waste under the scrap metal provision found in federal law. (c)Used oil filters that meet the conditions of subsection (b)of this section and are managed and recycled in compliance with the following requirements shall not be regulated as hazardous waste. (1)The filters are drained of free-flowing used oil. For the purposes of this subsection,free-flowing is defined as a continuous stream of oil exiting the filter when the filter is inverted. Oil exiting drop by drop is not considered to be free-flowing. However, if the filter is equipped with a device(such as a rubber flap located just inside the filter opening)which impedes the drainage of used oil from the filter,that device shall be manipulated to allow the oil to exit the filter freely, or the filter punctured, crushed, opened, drained, or otherwise handled in a manner that will allow the used oil to exit the filter. (2)The drained used oil filters are transported for purposes of metal reclamation to any of the following: (A)A smelter or other scrap metal processor where they are recycled or; (B)A storage facility or consolidation facility that subsequently transfers the filters to a facility described in paragraph (A)or(C)of this subsection or; (C)A municipal solid waste incinerator for energy recovery, if the residual casings are subsequently transferred to a facility described in paragraph (A)of this subsection,or to a storage or consolidation facility that subsequently transfers the residual casings to a facility described in paragraph (A)of this subsection. (3)The drained used oil filters are accumulated, stored, and transferred in a closed, rainproof container that is capable of containing any used oil that may separate from the filters placed inside. Drums of used oil filters shall be sealed during transfer so that used oil will not spill out when they are laid upon their sides. Drums shall be secured as a load to prevent movement or tipping during transfer. Containers shall be labelled as"drained used oil filters" (not as hazardous waste)and show initial date of accumulation or receipt on each container of filters. (4)Storage of less than one ton of used oil filters shall be limited to one year. Storage of one ton or more of used oil filters is limited to 180 days.
