Ohio Admin. Code 3745-279-20 - Applicability of standards for used oil generators
(A) General. Except
as provided in paragraphs (A)(1) to (A)(4) of this rule, rules 3745-279-20 to
3745-279-24
of the Administrative Code apply to all used oil generators. A used oil
generator is any person, by site, whose act or process produces used oil or
whose act first causes used oil to become subject to regulation.
(1) Household "do-it-yourselfer" used oil
generators. Household "do-it-yourselfer" used oil generators are not subject to
regulation under Chapter 3745-279 of the Administrative Code.
(2) Vessels. Vessels at sea or at port are
not subject to rules 3745-279-20 to
3745-279-24
of the Administrative Code. For purposes of rules 3745-279-20 to
3745-279-24
of the Administrative Code, used oil produced on vessels from normal shipboard
operations is considered to be generated at the time it is transported ashore.
The owner or operator of the vessel and the person(s) removing or accepting
used oil from the vessel are co-generators of the used oil and are both
responsible for managing the waste in compliance with rules 3745-279-20 to
3745-279-24
of the Administrative Code once the used oil is transported ashore. The
co-generators may decide among them which party will fulfill the requirements
of rules 3745-279-20 to
3745-279-24
of the Administrative Code.
(3)
Diesel fuel. Mixtures of used oil and diesel fuel mixed by the generator of the
used oil for use in the generator's own vehicles are not subject to Chapter
3745-279 of the Administrative Code once the used oil and diesel fuel have been
mixed. Prior to mixing, the used oil fuel is subject to the requirements of
rules 3745-279-20 to
3745-279-24
of the Administrative Code.
(4)
Farmers. Farmers who generate an average of twenty five gallons per month or
less of used oil from vehicles or machinery used on the farm in a calendar year
are not subject to the requirements of Chapter 3745-279 of the Administrative
Code.
(B) Other
applicable provisions. Used oil generators who conduct the following activities
are subject to the requirements of other applicable provisions of Chapter
3745-279 of the Administrative Code as indicated in paragraphs (B)(1) to (B)(5)
of this rule:
(1) Generators who transport
used oil, except under the self-transport provisions of paragraphs (A) and (B)
of rule
3745-279-24
of the Administrative Code, shall also comply with rules
3745-279-40
to
3745-279-47
of the Administrative Code.
(2)
(a) Except as provided in paragraph (B)(2)(b)
of this rule, generators who process or re-refine used oil shall also comply
with rules
3745-279-50
to
3745-279-59
of the Administrative Code.
(b)
Generators who perform the following activities are not processors provided
that the used oil is generated on-site and is not being sent directly off-site
to a burner of on- or off-specification used oil fuel:
(i) Filtering, cleaning, or otherwise
reconditioning used oil before returning it for reuse by the generator;
(ii) Separating used oil from
wastewater generated on-site to make the wastewater acceptable for discharge or
reuse pursuant to Chapter 6111. of the Revised Code, section 402 or section
307(b) of the Clean Water Act, or other applicable federal or state regulations
governing the management or discharge of wastewaters;
(iii) Using oil mist collectors to remove
small droplets of used oil from in-plant air to make plant air suitable for
continued recirculation;
(iv)
Draining or otherwise removing used oil from materials containing or otherwise
contaminated with used oil in order to remove excessive oil to the extent
possible pursuant to paragraph (C) of rule
3745-279-10
of the Administrative Code;
(v)
Filtering, separating, or otherwise reconditioning used oil before burning it
in a space heater pursuant to rule
3745-279-23
of the Administrative Code.
(3) Generators who burn off-specification
used oil for energy recovery, except under the on-site space heater provisions
of rule
3745-279-23
of the Administrative Code, shall also comply with rules
3745-279-60
to
3745-279-67
of the Administrative Code.
(4)
Generators who direct shipments of off-specification used oil from their
facility directly to a used oil burner or first claim that used oil that is to
be burned for energy recovery meets the used oil fuel specifications set forth
in rule
3745-279-11
of the Administrative Code shall also comply with rules
3745-279-70
to
3745-279-75
of the Administrative Code.
(5)
Generators who dispose of used oil, including the use of used oil as a dust
suppressant, shall also comply with rules
3745-279-80
to
3745-279-82
of the Administrative Code.
