Subp. 2.
General requirements.
No person shall dispose of used oil filters or portions of
used oil filters in solid waste or in or on the land. Used oil filter brokers,
transporters, processors, recyclers, and generators are subject to regulation
under this part and must ensure that used oil filters and portions of used oil
filters are managed as specified in this subpart.
Unless disposed of as hazardous waste, used oil filters and
portions of used oil filters must be recycled either by scrap metal recycling
or burning for energy recovery. Used oil filters and portions of used oil
filters may be recycled under the scrap metal exemption of part
7045.0125, subpart
4, item C, if they meet the
definition of scrap metal. Used oil filters and portions of used oil filters
that meet the definition of scrap metal may be burned for energy recovery under
part
7045.0805, item A, provided that
the scrap metal portion of the used oil filters is recovered and recycled. Used
oil filters and portions of used oil filters which do not meet the definition
of scrap metal may be burned for energy recovery under part
7045.0805, item A.
Subp. 3.
Requirements for
generators.
A. Used oil filter
generators must store used oil filters in closed, leakproof containers labeled
with the words "Used Oil Filters."
B. Used oil filter generators burning used
oil filters or portions of used oil filters on-site must comply with part
7045.0855, subpart
3.
C. Off-site shipments:
(1) Used oil filter generators must ensure
that used oil filters are not in a condition to readily release any
free-flowing oil when they leave the generator site.
(2) Used oil filter generators may transport
used oil filters that they generate to another site owned by the generator or
to a used oil filter processor, recycler, transporter, or broker, in their own
vehicles without meeting the requirements of subpart
4. Used oil filter generators
transporting their own used oil filters must ensure that used oil and used oil
filters do not escape from the containers used during transport. Used oil
filter generators must keep records of all shipments of used oil filters from
their sites, including the date of the shipment, the quantity of used oil
filters shipped, and the facility to which the used oil filters were delivered.
These records must be kept at the site for at least three years after the date
of shipment.
(3) Used oil filter
generators must only allow used oil filters to be taken off-site by used oil
filter transporters that are licensed by the commissioner to transport used oil
filters under subpart
4, or by scrap metal
collectors as specified in subpart
4. Used oil filter generators
must keep records of all shipments of used oil filters from their sites,
including the name, address, and license number of the transporter, the date of
the shipment, and the quantity of used oil filters shipped. Used oil filter
generators must keep these records at the site for at least three years after
the date of shipment.
Subp. 4.
Requirements for used oil
filter transporters.
A. Storage and
transportation:
(1) Used oil filter
transporters must store and transport used oil filters in leakproof containers

transporter license number, and a signed certification that the used oil filter
transporter will ensure that the used oil filters they are accepting will be
recycled.
(2) Used oil filter
transporters must keep records of each volume of used oil filters they deliver
to a used oil filter broker, processor, or recycler. These records must include
the name and address of the facility receiving the used oil filters, the date
of receipt, and the volume of used oil filters delivered.
C. Used oil filter transporters that generate
used oil from their operations must comply with parts
7045.0805 and
