Current through 2024-38, September 18, 2024

A. Transporter. Each licensed waste oil transporter shall pay a fee to the Maine Hazardous Waste Fund of 1 cent per gallon on all waste oil collected from a generator.

Amount (gallons) of waste oil collected from generator x .01 = Fee

B. Waste Oil Storage Facility Operator. The operator of a waste oil storage facility shall pay to the Maine Hazardous Waste Fund a fee of 1 cent per gallon on all waste oil which he either:

(1) receives directly from a waste oil generator, or

(2) receives from a transporter who is not a waste oil dealer:

(Amount from generators + amount from non-dealer transporters) x .01 = Fee

C. Waste oil which is collected as a result of bulk oil storage tank cleaning operations or the clean-up of oil spills will in many instances contain an unusually large amount of water. In such cases the Department may, upon demonstration by the dealer of the source of the waste oil and the percentage of water in the waste oil, reduce the waste oil fee by up to 50% if it determines that such a reduction is warranted.

D. The waste oil dealer shall not be assessed a fee on any waste oil for which he can demonstrate that a fee has already been imposed by this rule and paid.

E. Payment of the waste oil fee shall cover activity conducted during each quarter.

F. Payment shall be made either by a check or money order which signifies the name of the waste oil dealer.

G. The check or money order shall be made payable to the Maine Hazardous Waste Fund and mailed with the quarterly activity report to:
