(a) A permit for a stationary commercial
solid oil and gas waste recycling facility issued pursuant to this division
shall contain requirements the Commission determines to be reasonably necessary
to ensure that:
(1) only wastes and other
materials authorized by the permit are received at the facility, including
requirements that the permittee test incoming oil and gas waste and keep
records of amounts and sources of incoming wastes; and
(2) the processing operation and resulting
recyclable product meet the environmental and engineering standards established
in the permit.
(b) A
permit for a stationary commercial solid oil and gas waste recycling facility
issued under this division may require the permittee to perform a trial run in
accordance with the following procedure.
(1)
The permittee shall notify the appropriate district office for the county in
which the facility is located prior to commencement of the trial run.
(2) The permittee shall demonstrate the
ability to successfully process a one thousand cubic yard batch of solid oil
and gas waste.
(A) The Oil and Gas Division
in Austin and the appropriate district office must be notified in writing at
least 72 hours before waste processing begins.
(B) Samples of the partially treated waste
must be collected and analyzed as required by §
4.243 of this title (relating to
Minimum Permit Provisions for Monitoring).
(C) Samples shall be collected from every 200
cubic yards of an 800 cubic yard batch and analyzed for wetting and drying
durability by ASTM D 559-96, modified to provide that samples are compacted and
molded from finished partially treated waste. The total weight loss after 12
cycles may not exceed 15 percent.
(3) The permittee shall sample and analyze
the partially treated waste that results from the trial run, and submit to the
director for review a report of the results of the trial run prior to
commencing operations.
(4) The
director shall approve the trial run if the report demonstrates that the
recyclable product meets or exceeds the environmental and engineering standards
established in the permit.
(5) The
permittee shall not use the recyclable product until the director approves the
trial run report.
(6) A written
report of the trial run shall be submitted to the Oil and Gas Division in
Austin and the appropriate district office within 60 days of receipt of the
analyses required in §
4.243 of this title. The following
information must be included:
(A) the actual
volume of waste material processed;
(B) the volume of stabilization material
used;
(C) copies of all lab
analyses required by §
4.243 of this title; and
(D) the results of the analysis required
under paragraph (2)(C) of this subsection.
(7) The final recyclable material must meet
the limitations of §
4.243 of this title.
(c) A permit for a stationary
commercial solid oil and gas waste recycling facility issued pursuant to this
division shall include any requirements, including limits on the volumes of oil
and gas waste, partially treated waste, and recyclable product stored at the
facility, that the Commission determines to be reasonably necessary to ensure
that the permittee does not speculatively accumulate oil and gas waste,
partially treated waste, and/or recyclable product at the facility without
actually processing the oil and gas waste and putting the recyclable product to
legitimate commercial use.
