6. All used oil removed from the filters must be managed in accordance with all applicable re- quirements of Article 13, HSC Chapter 6.5, Di- vision 20 and 22 CCR section 66279. Detailed Management Requirements • e Draining Used oil filters are required to be drained of all free-flowing used oil. "Free-flowing used oil" means a continuous stream of used oil exiting the filter when the filter is inverted. Used oil exiting drop -by -drop is not considered to be free- flowing. If the filter is equipped with a device which impedes the drainage of used oil from the filter, that device must be manipulated to allow the used oil to exit the filter freely. Used oil filters drained of free-flowing used oil may be punctured, crushed, opened, further drained, or otherwise handled without authori- zation from the DISC, for purposes of recycling the filters, provided that any used oil or other residue generated in the course of the activity is properly managed according to 22 CCR Division 4.5. Containers 1. The drained filters must be contained in rain- proof, non -leaking containers with tightly -sealed lids. 2. The container must be labeled "Drained Used Oil Filters" and the initial date of accumulation or receipt marked on each container. The initial date of accumulation is the date when the first filter is placed in the container, or the date when a full or partially full container of filters is re- ceived at a second location. Drained Used oil Filters 3. Businesses or public agencies accepting used oil filters from householders must place the fil- ters in containers upon acceptance to capture all used oil that separates from the filters. Upon reaching a location where proper drainage is practical, the filters must be contained as de- scribed above, and any used oil drained from the filters managed in accordance with all ap- plicable requirements. Storage 1. Up to one ton of used oil filters can be stored for a period of up to 1 year, unless the storage facility has a hazardous waste permit authoriz- ing storage of used oil filters. 2. Storage of one ton or more of used oil filters is limited to 180 days, unless the storage facil- ity has a hazardous waste permit authorizing storage of used oil filters. Allowed Destinations The only allowed destinations for used oil filters are: 1. To a smelter or scrap metal processor where the used oil filters are recycled. 2. To a municipal solid waste incinerator for energy recovery if the residual casings are sub- sequently transferred to a smelter or scrap metal processor for recycling. 3. To a storage or consolidation facility that sub- sequently transfers the filters to a smelter, scrap metal processor or municipal solid waste incin- erator as described above. 4. To an authorized hazardous waste facility. Transportation 1. Only properly -drained filters can be trans- ported. 2. The containers must be tightly -sealed during transportation to prevent any spillage of used oil. - 7 - DTSC Used Oil and Used Oil Filters Fact Sheet
