3 <br />Used Oil Filter Management Requirements – <br />(1) The filters are drained of free-flowing used oil. For the purposes of this subsection, free-flowing is <br />defined as a continuous stream of oil exiting the filter when the filter is inverted. Oil exiting drop by drop is <br />not considered to be free-flowing. However, if the filter is equipped with a device (such as a rubber flap <br />located just inside the filter opening) which impedes the drainage of used oil from the filter, that device <br />shall be manipulated to allow the oil to exit the filter freely, or the filter punctured, crushed, opened, <br />drained, or otherwise handled in a manner that will allow the used oil to exit the filter. <br />(2) The drained used oil filters are transported for purposes of metal reclamation to any of the following: <br />(A) A smelter or other scrap metal processor where they are recycled or; <br />(B) A storage facility or consolidation facility that subsequently transfers the filters to a facility described <br />in paragraph (A) or (C) of this subsection or; <br />(C) A municipal solid waste incinerator for energy recovery, if the residual casings are subsequently <br />transferred to a facility described in paragraph (A) of this subsection, or to a storage or consolidation <br />facility that subsequently transfers the residual casings to a facility described in paragraph (A) of this <br />subsection. <br />(3) The drained used oil filters are accumulated, stored, and transferred in a closed, rainproof container <br />that is capable of containing any used oil that may separate from the filters placed inside. Drums of used <br />oil filters shall be sealed during transfer so that used oil will not spill out when they are laid upon their <br />sides. Drums shall be secured as a load to prevent movement or tipping during transfer. Containers shall <br />be labelled as “drained used oil filters” (not as hazardous waste) and show initial date of accumulation <br />or receipt on each container of filters. <br />(4) Storage of less than one ton of used oil filters shall be limited to one year. Storage of one ton or more <br />of used oil filters is limited to 180 days. <br />(5) Persons generating, transporting, or receiving used oil filters shall use a bill of lading to record the <br />transfer of used oil filters. Bills of lading must indicate generator, transporter, and receiving company <br />names, addresses, telephone numbers, the quantity and size of used oil filter containers transferred, <br />and the date of transfer. A copy of each bill of lading must be kept on the premises of the generator, <br />transporter, and receiving facility where the used oil filters were handled. Copies of bills of lading shall <br />be kept for a period of three years. <br /> <br />Best, <br /> <br />Lynsey Sammons <br />Registered Environmental Health Specialist <br />Cell: (209) 616-3067 <br />Office: (209) 468-3420 <br /> <br />San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department <br />1868 E.
