(SJAPCD) Authority to Construct Permit requirements by Rule 202h.5; however, it would be constructed in accordance with applicable codes. All lubricants basically would consist of mixtures of hydrocarbon groups of paraffin chains, aromatics, and napthene, with various deriva- tives of sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen. Used lubricants such as crankcase drain oil , hydraulic oil , and industrial lubricants typically contain low concentrations of contaminants such as metals, chlorides, and sulfur. Typically, the concentrations of these contaminants in the used lubricant would be well below the California State standards of purity for recycled oil . To ensure that the used lubricants delivered to the facility can be safely processed by the facility, each incoming load would be screened as follows: • Under California law, used lubricating oil is classified as a hazardous waste and must be manifested. The manifest of each incoming load would be checked to determine the source and identity of the load. No other materials classified as hazardous materials or hazardous waste are expected to be on site. • Each incoming load would be sampled and analyzed at the on-site laboratory to ensure that the contaminants in the used lubri- cant can be properly stored and processed at the facility prior to acceptance. A blend of recycled waste oil and No. 2 fuel oil would be the fuel used for firing the Steam Generator (boiler) . Approximately 12 gallons per day of blended fuel oil would be required during full -load operations (four gallons per hour for three hours per day) . Fugitive emissions from the lubricant recycling process would include pollutants from firing the steam generator burner and volatiles (ROC) from the evaporator column and the storage tanks. These are addressed in greater detail in the "Air Quality/Odors" section of Chapter 3 of the EIR. 2-18 101-46.R5 4/13/89
