a. Used
oil burners may not store used oil in units other than tanks, containers, or
units subject to regulation under R.61-79.264 or 265.
b. Containers and aboveground tanks used to
store used oil at burner facilities must be:
(1) In good condition (no severe rusting,
apparent structural defects or deterioration); and
(2) Not leaking (no visible leaks).
c. Containers and tanks used to
store used oil at burner facilities must be equipped with a secondary
containment system capable of retaining the volumetric contents of the largest
container.
(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.
(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.
d. Existing aboveground tanks used to store
used oil at burner facilities must be equipped with a secondary containment
system capable of retaining the volumetric contents of the largest tank.
(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 approved by the Department.
(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. New aboveground tanks used to store used
oil at burner facilities must be equipped with a secondary containment system
capable of retaining the volumetric contents of the largest tank.
(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 approved by the Department.
(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. Labels.
(1) Containers and aboveground tanks used to
store used oil at burner 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 burner facilities
must be labeled or marked clearly with the words "Used Oil."
g. Upon detection of a release of
used oil to the environment not subject to the requirements of R.61-92.280
Subpart F, a burner 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.
(5) Further assessment and
remediation, if necessary, shall be directed by the Department.
h. Used oil burners are subject to
all applicable Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures ( 40 CFR Part 112
) in addition to the requirements of this subpart. Used oil generators are also
subject to R.61-92.280 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 subpart.
