Section R649-6-2 - Waste Crude Oil Treatment Facilities

1. Prior to the construction of a waste crude oil treatment facility, an application shall be submitted to the division describing the ownership, location, type, and capacity of the facility contemplated; the extent and location of the surface area to be disturbed, including any pit, pond, or land associated with the facility; and a reclamation plan for the site. Approval of the application must be issued by the division before any ground clearing or construction shall occur.

2. As a condition for approval of any application, the owner or operator shall post a bond in an amount determined by the division to cover reclamation costs for the site. Failure to post the bond shall be considered sufficient grounds for denial of the application.

3. No waste crude oil treatment facility operator shall accept delivery of crude oil obtained from any tank, reserve pit, disposal pond or pit, or similar facility unless the delivery is accompanied by a run ticket, invoice, receipt or similar document showing the origin and quantity of the crude oil.
