Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024
A. Used
oil processors/re-refiners are subject to all applicable Spill Prevention,
Control, and Countermeasures ( 40 CFR Part 112) in addition to the requirements
of this Subchapter. Used oil processors/re-refiners are also subject to the
Underground Storage Tanks (LAC 33:XI) standards for used oil stored in
underground tanks whether or not the used oil exhibits any characteristics of
hazardous waste, in addition to the requirements of this Subchapter.
B. Management Units. Used oil
processors/re-refiners may not store used oil in units other than tanks,
containers, or units subject to regulation under LAC 33:V.Chapters 10, 11, 15,
17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 28, 29, 31, 32, 33, 35, 37, and 43.
C. Condition of Units. Containers and
aboveground tanks used to store or process used oil at processing and
re-refining facilities must:
1. be in good
condition (no severe rusting, apparent structural defects or deterioration);
and
2. not be leaking (no visible
leaks).
D. Secondary
Containment for Containers. Containers used to store or process used oil at
processing and re-refining facilities must be equipped with a secondary
containment system.
1. The secondary
containment system must consist of, at a minimum:
a. dikes, berms, or retaining walls;
and
b. a floor. The floor must
cover the entire area within the dike, berm, or retaining wall; or
c. an equivalent secondary containment
system.
2. The entire
containment system, including walls and floor, must be sufficiently impervious
to used oil to prevent any used oil released into the containment system from
migrating out of the system to the soil, groundwater, or surface
water.
E. Secondary
Containment for Existing Aboveground Lanks. Existing aboveground tanks used to
store or process used oil at processing and re-refining facilities must be
equipped with a secondary containment system.
1. The secondary containment system must
consist of, at a minimum:
a. dikes, berms, or
retaining walls; and
b. a floor.
The floor must cover the entire area within the dike, berm, or retaining wall
except areas where existing portions of the tank meet the ground; or
c. an equivalent secondary containment
system.
2. The entire
containment system, including walls and floor, must be sufficiently impervious
to used oil to prevent any used oil released into the containment system from
migrating out of the system to the soil, groundwater, or surface
water.
F. Secondary
Containment for New Aboveground Lanks. New aboveground tanks used to store or
process used oil at processing and re-refining facilities must be equipped with
a secondary containment system.
1. The
secondary containment system must consist of, at a minimum:
a. dikes, berms, or retaining walls;
and
b. a floor. The floor must
cover the entire area within the dike, berm, or retaining wall; or
c. an equivalent secondary containment
system.
2. The entire
containment system, including walls and floor, must be sufficiently impervious
to used oil to prevent any used oil released into the containment system from
migrating out of the system to the soil, groundwater, or surface water.
G. Labels
1. Containers and aboveground tanks used to
store or process used oil at processing and re-refining facilities must be
labeled or marked clearly with the words "Used Oil."
2. Fill pipes used to transfer used oil into
underground storage tanks at processing and re-refining facilities must be
labeled or marked clearly with the words "Used Oil."
H. Response to Releases. Upon detection of a
release of used oil to the environment not subject to the requirements of LAC
33:XI.715 which has occurred after the effective date of the recycled used oil
management program in effect in the state in which the release is located, an
owner/operator must perform the following cleanup steps:
1. stop the release;
2. contain the released used oil;
3. clean up and manage properly the released
used oil and other materials; and
4. if necessary, repair or replace any
leaking used oil storage containers or tanks prior to returning them to
service.
I. Closure
1. Aboveground Tanks. Owners and operators
who store or process used oil in aboveground tanks must comply with the
following requirements:
a. at closure of a
tank system, the owner or operator must remove or decontaminate used oil
residues in tanks, contaminated containment system components, contaminated
soils, and structures and equipment contaminated with used oil, and manage them
as hazardous waste, unless the materials are not hazardous waste under LAC
33:V.Subpart l;and
b. if the owner
or operator demonstrates that not all contaminated soils can be practicably
removed or decontaminated as required in LAC 33:V.4049.I.l.a, then the owner or
operator must close the tank system and perform post-closure care in accordance
with the closure and post-closure care requirements that apply to hazardous
waste landfills (LAC 33:V.4501).
2. Containers. Owners and operators who store
used oil in containers must comply with the following requirements:
a. at closure, containers holding used oils
or residues of used oil must be removed from the site; and
b. the owner or operator must remove or
decontaminate used oil residues, contaminated containment system components,
contaminated soils, and structures and equipment contaminated with used oil and
manage them as hazardous waste, unless the materials are not hazardous waste
under LAC 33:V.Chapters 1, 31, 41, and 49.
