Current through 2024-38, September 18, 2024

It is the purpose of the Department of Environmental Protection to provide effective controls for the management of waste oil so as to insure the protection of public health, safety and welfare, and the environment. The Legislature has found that "...substantial quantities of waste oil are contaminated by hazardous waste and that waste oil, if not properly handled, is a threat to the public health, safety and welfare and to the environment...' The Legislature, therefore, has authorized the regulation and licensing of waste oil handling and the inclusion of waste oil within coverage of the Maine Hazardous Waste Fund. This rule establishes the administrative procedures necessary to implement the intent of the Legislature.
