Stockton,California 95201 FaA <br /> (209) 468-3/100 <br /> I///(,, PO <br /> iherf ire l�e '�'P'N� Aq^' ^' <br /> � 7 <br /> . 2y��y N J3raella ��'� <br /> • Acaempo)64 z o <br /> RE: 90 ao7,;�_. <br /> A complaint has been received by this office regarding your handling/disposal of waste oil. <br /> Waste oil is considered a hazardous waste in the State of California pursuant to Title 22, California <br /> Administrative Code, Section 66680, because it is likely to contain a hazardous material (for example; <br /> heavy metals, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) etc.). Any disposal of waste oil must be managed in <br /> accordance with the generator requirements outlined in Title 22 of the California Administrative <br /> Code, Article 6, unless a waste analysis is performed verifying no hazardous constituents are present. <br /> A detailed waste analysis is a costly procedure. Therefore, to attempt classification of waste oil as <br /> non-hazardous is generally an unreasonable management method. <br /> To dispose of waste oil in storm drains, sanitary sewer systems or to the land is illegal and may result <br /> in the taking of enforcement action by the California Department of Health Services, Toxic <br /> Substance Control Division. Substantial penalties can result from failure to comply with the law. <br /> If you are a residence, you are exempt for the generator requirements outlined below. There are <br /> many recycling centers available to properly look in the Yellow Pages of the telephone book under <br /> "Recycling Facilities" or call this office. <br /> If you are a business, you must achieve compliance with State regulations as a waste oil generator <br /> and comply with the following: <br /> 1. Store waste oil in leak-proof containers. Waste oil may not be stored for longer than <br /> ninety (90) days without a storage permit or a variance from the California Department <br /> of Health Services, Toxic Substance Control Division, to store waste in excess of the 90 <br /> day limit. <br /> A Division of San Joaquin County Health Care Services <br />
