Current through June, 2024
Terms that are defined in sections

					 used oil that is not an underground storage tank as defined in section 342L-1
					 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes.

"Existing tank" means a tank that is used for the storage
					 or processing of used oil and that is in operation, or for which installation
					 has commenced on or prior to the effective date of EPA's authorization of the
					 State's used oil program. Installation will be considered to have commenced if
					 the owner or operator has obtained all federal, State, and local approvals or
					 permits necessary to begin installation of the tank and if either:
(1) A continuous on-site installation program has begun,
					 or
(2) The owner or operator has entered into contractual
					 obligations -- which cannot be canceled or modified without substantial loss --
					 for installation of the tank to be completed within a reasonable time.
"Household "do-it-yourselfer' used oil" means oil that is
					 derived from households, such as used oil generated by individuals who generate
					 used oil through the maintenance of their personal vehicles.

"Petroleum refining facility" means an establishment
					 primarily engaged in producing gasoline, kerosine, distillate fuel oils,
					 residual fuel oils, and lubricants, through fractionation, straight
					 distillation of crude oil, redistillation of unfinished petroleum derivatives,
					 cracking or other processes (i.e., facilities classified as SIC 2911).
"Processing" means chemical or physical operations
					 designed to produce from used oil, or to make used oil more amenable for
					 production of, fuel oils, lubricants, or other used oil-derived product.
					 Processing includes, but is not limited to: blending used oil with virgin
					 petroleum products, blending used oils to meet the fuel specification,
					 filtration, simple distillation, chemical or physical separation and
					 re-refining.
"Re-refining distillation bottoms" means the heavy
					 fraction produced by vacuum distillation of filtered and dehydrated used oil.
					 The composition of still bottoms varies with column operation and
					 feedstock.
"Tank" means any stationary device, designed to contain an
					 accumulation of used oil which is constructed primarily of non-earthen
					 materials, (e.g., wood, concrete, steel, plastic) which provides structural
					 support.

					 oil, or any synthetic oil, that has been used and as a result of such use is
					 contaminated by physical or chemical impurities.
"Used oil aggregation point" means any site or facility
					 that accepts, aggregates, and/or stores used oil collected only from other used
					 oil generation sites owned or operated by the owner or operator of the
					 aggregation point, from which used oil is transported to the aggregation point
					 in shipments of no more than 55 gallons. Used oil aggregation points may also
					 accept used oil from household do-it-yourselfers.
"Used oil burner" means a facility where used oil not
					 meeting the specification requirements in section
					 11-279-11 is burned for energy
					 recovery in devices identified in section
					 11-279-61(a).
"Used oil collection center" means any site or facility
					 that is permitted to manage used oil and accepts/aggregates and stores used oil
					 collected from used oil generators regulated under subchapter C who bring used
					 oil to the collection center in shipments of no more than 55 gallons under the
					 provisions of section
					 11-279-24. Used oil collection
					 centers may also accept used oil from household do-it-yourselfers.
"Used oil fuel marketer" means any person who conducts
					 either of the following activities:
(1) Directs a shipment of off-specification used oil from
					 their facility to a used oil burner; or
(2) First claims that used oil that is to be burned for
					 energy recovery meets the used oil fuel specifications set forth in section
					 11-279-11.
"Used oil generator" means any person, by site, whose act
					 or process produces used oil or whose act first causes used oil to become
					 subject to regulation.
"Used oil processor/re-refiner" means a facility that
					 processes used oil.
"Used oil transfer facility" means any transportation
					 related facility including loading docks, parking areas, storage areas and
					 other areas where shipments of used oil are held for more than 24 hours and not
					 longer than 35 days during the normal course of transportation or prior to an

					 regulation under subchapter F.
"Used oil transporter" means any person who transports
					 used oil, any person who collects used oil from more than one generator and
					 transports the collected oil, and owners and operators of used oil transfer
					 facilities. Used oil transporters may consolidate or aggregate loads of used
					 oil for purposes of transportation but, with the following exception, may not
					 process used oil. Transporters may conduct incidental processing operations

					 water separation), but that are not designed to produce (or make more amenable

					 fuel.
