OBSERVATION: This facility generates drained used metal oil filters. A complete three year bill of lading record for used oil filter recycling was not observed during the inspection for the following date range: 10-01-18 to 09-08-20. Note:This facility began operations in October 2018. Used metal oil filters are not being handled in compliance with Title 22 California Code of Regulations section 66266.130. Observed an open container containing used oil metal filters on the west side of the property. REGULATION GUIDANCE: (a)Used oil filters are to be managed as hazardous waste unless the conditions of one of the following paragraphs are met: (1)The filters are characterized as being nonhazardous using procedures identified in this division and applicable waste characterization procedures found in federal regulations or; (2)The conditions of subsection (b)of this section are met and the filters are managed in compliance with the requirements of subsection (c)of this section (b)For the purposes of subsection (c)of this section, "used oil filters"are defined as filters which contain a residue of used oil (as defined in Health and Safety Code Section 25250.1(a))and which are exempt from regulation as a hazardous waste under the scrap metal provision found in federal law(40 CFR Section 261.6(a)(3)(iv)). (c) In accordance with subsection (a)of this section, 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. (5)Persons generating,transporting, or receiving used oil filters shall use a bill of lading to record the transfer of used oil filters. Bills of lading must indicate generator,transporter, and receiving company names, addresses, telephone numbers,the quantity and size of used oil filter containers transferred, and the date of transfer.A copy of FA0025788 PR0545404 SCO01 09/08/2020 EHD 22-01 Rev.8/11/2020 Page 6 of 8 Small Quantity Hazardous Waste Generator OIR 1868 E.
