A blue 55-gallon steel drum of crushed metal oil filters was observed open and not labeled with the words "drained used oil filters" (IMG 0902-3). 2.A black 55-gallon steel drum of crushed metal oil filters was observed open and not labeled with the words "drained used oil filters" (IMG 0905-6). 3. A blue and 55-gallon steel drum of crushed metal oil filters and at least one used paper oil filter was observed open and the drum label was not visible (IMG 0909-10). 4.A blue 55-gallon steel drum of metal oil filters and standing oil was observed open and the drum label was not visible(IMG 0911). 5. A blue 55-gallon steel drum of drained metal oil filters was observed open and and the drum label was not visible (IMG 0912). 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 FA0005303 PR0507077 SC001 02/13/2020 EHD 22-02 Rev.9/20/2019 Page 22 of 26 Large Quantity Hazardous Waste Generator OIR 1868 E.
