A detailed waste analysis is a costly pro- <br />cedure. Therefore, to attempt classification of waste oil as non- <br />hazardous is generally an unreasonable management method. <br />To dispose of waste oil in storm drains, sanitary sewer systems or to <br />the land is illegal and may result in the taking of enforcement action <br />by the California Department of Health Services, Toxic Substance Control <br />Division. Substantial penalties can result from failure to comply with <br />the law. <br />If you are a residence, you are exempt from the generator requirements <br />outlined below. There are many recycling centers available to properly <br />dispose of your waste oil. For further information about these centers, <br />look in the Yellow Pages of the telephone book under "Recycling <br />Facilities" or call this office. <br />If you are a business, you must achieve compliance with State regula- <br />tions as a waste oil generator and comply with the following: <br />1. Store waste oil in leak -proof containers. Waste oil may <br />not be stored for longer than ninety (90) days without a <br />storage permit or a variance from the California Department <br />of Health Services, Toxic Substance Control Division, to <br />store waste in excess of the 90 day limit. <br />Administration <br />468-3400 <br />Clinical Services <br />468-3830 <br />Environmental Health <br />468-3420 <br />Air Pollution Community Services Laboratory <br />468-3470 468-3820 468-3460 <br />Public Health Nursing <br />468-3860 <br />WIC <br />468-3280 <br />
