The rebuttable presumption works as follows in California: 1. Generators, transporters and used oil collec- tion centers are required to test or apply knowl- edge to determine whether a used oil shipment has a total halogen content over or under 1,000 ppm. If a generator, transporter or used oil col- lection center chooses to apply knowledge to de- termine that used oil does not contain more than 1,000 ppm total halogens, the application of knowledge must be done in accordance with cri- teria specified in 22 CCR: section 66279.10(a)(1)(B) for generators, section 66279.10(a)(3)(B) for transporters and section 66279.10(a)(6) for used oil collection centers. 2. Used oil transfer facilities and used oil recy- cling facilities are required to test each shipment of used oil for total halogens [22 CCR section 66279.90(a)] before accepting the shipment. 3. If it is detennined that the used oil shipment con- tains greater than 1,000 ppm total halogens, used oil is presumed to have been mixed with halogenated hazardous waste and must be handled as RCRA haz- ardous waste, unless the presumption is rebutted. 4. In order to rebut the presumption that the used oil shipment was mixed with RCRA hazardous waste, the used oil handler must demonstrate that the used oil was not mixed with halogenated hazardous waste. Where this demonstration is successfully made, the used oil is regulated as used oil. The rebuttable presumption is deemed rebutted for the following types of used oils where specified conditions [22 CCR section 66279.10(b)] are met: metalworking oils/flu- ids containing chlorinated paraffins, refrigera- tion oils contaminated with chloroflurocarbons, and used oil which is exclusively household "do- it-yourselfer" used oil or used oil from a condi- tionally exempt small quantity generator. (A conditionally exempt small quantity generator is a generator who generates no more than 100 kilograms of hazardous waste in a month and does not accumulate more than 1,000 kilograms of hazardous waste onsite at any time.) Iransportation of Used Oil XYZ HAZARDOUS WASTE TRANPORTING COMPANY In general, California law requires that used oil be transported by a registered hazardous waste transporter. However, there are a few instances in which the use of a registered hazardous waste transporter is not required. These are as follows: • Householders andconditionally exempt small quantity generators are allowed to transport up to 20 gallons of used oil per trip to an autho- rized used oil collection center where a single container does not exceed 5 gallons, if speci- fied conditions are met. Authorized used oil collection centers include: certified used oil collection centers [Public Resources Code sec- tion 486221, recycle -only household hazardous waste collection facilities, or collection facili- ties operating pursuant to HSC section 25250.11 • Persons, including householders and condi- tionally exempt small quantity generators are al- lowed to transport up to 5 gallons of used oil per trip to an authorized hazardous waste facil- i� including a permitted household hazardous waste collection facility, if specified conditions are met [ HSC section 25163(c)]. • Mobile maintenance operations (see below) may transport up to 55 gallons of used oil in any one vehicle at any one time from an off-site location to a consolidation point. When used oil is transported by a registered haz- ardous waste transporter, either a full hazard- ous waste manifest or a modified hazardous waste manifest must be used.
