Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Terms that are defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
				  720.110,
				  721.101, and
				  731.112 have the same
				  meanings when used in this Part.
"Aboveground tank" means a tank used to store or process used
				  oil that is not an underground storage tank, as defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
				  280.12.
BOARD NOTE: This definition is different from the definition
				  for "aboveground tank" given in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.110. Although the
				  meanings are similar, the main distinction is that the definition for this Part
				  limits the tanks to those used to store or process used oil, whereas the
				  720.110 definition
				  contemplates tanks that contain hazardous wastes. This definition of
				  aboveground tank is limited to this Part only.
"Classification", as used in this Part, means a short
				  description of the waste generating activity and designation as either
				  hazardous waste with the appropriate hazardous waste code, nonhazardous used
				  oil, nonhazardous used oil mixture, or nonhazardous other special waste.
"Container" means any portable device in which a material is
				  stored, transported, treated, disposed of, or otherwise handled.
"Do-it-yourselfer used oil collection center" means any site
				  or facility that accepts or aggregates and stores used oil collected only from
				  household do-it-yourselfers.
"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 had
				  commenced on or prior to October 4, 1996. Installation will be considered to
				  have commenced if the owner or operator had obtained all federal, state, and
				  local approvals or permits necessary to begin installation of the tank and if
				  either of the following had occurred:
A continuous on-site installation program had begun,
				  or
The owner or operator had entered into contractual
				  obligations that cannot be canceled or modified without substantial loss for
				  installation of the tank to be completed within a reasonable time.
BOARD NOTE: This definition is similar to the definition for
				  "Existing tank system" in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.110. Although the meanings are
				  similar, the definition given above for "existing tank" in this Part limits the
				  tanks to those used to store or process used oil, whereas the
				  720.110 definition
				  contemplates tanks systems that contain hazardous wastes. This definition of
				  existing tank is limited to this Part only.
"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.
BOARD NOTE: Household "do-it-yourselfer" used oil is not
				  subject to the State's special waste hauling permit requirements under Part
				  809.
"Household 'do-it-yourselfer' used oil generator" means an
				  individual who generates household "do-it-yourselfer" used oil.
"New tank" means a tank that will be used to store or process
				  used oil and for which installation had commenced after October 4, 1996.
BOARD NOTE: This definition is similar to the definition
				  given for "New tank system" given in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.110. Although the
				  meanings are similar, the definition given above for "new tank" in this Part
				  limits the tanks to those used to store or process used oil, whereas the
				  720.110 definition
				  contemplates new tanks systems that contain hazardous wastes. This definition
				  of new tank is limited to this Part only.
"Petroleum refining facility" means an establishment
				  primarily engaged in producing gasoline, kerosene, 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 the following: 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 that is constructed primarily of non-earthen materials
				  (e.g., wood, concrete, steel, plastic) which provide structural support.
"Used oil" means any oil that has been refined from crude 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, 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 (208 l). 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
				  739.111
				  is burned for energy recovery in devices identified in Section
				  739.161(a).
"Used oil collection center" means any site or facility that
				  is registered by the Agency to manage used oil and accepts or aggregates and
				  stores used oil collected from used oil generators regulated under Subpart C
				  that bring used oil to the collection center in shipments of no more than 55
				  gallons (208 l) under the provisions of Section
				  739.124. Used
				  oil collection centers may also accept used oil from household
				  do-it-yourselfers.
"Used oil fuel marketer" means any person that conducts
				  either of the following activities:
Directs a shipment of off-specification used oil from their
				  facility to a used oil burner; or
First claims that used oil that is to be burned for energy
				  recovery meets the used oil fuel specifications set forth in Section
				  739.111.
"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" 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 activity
				  performed pursuant to Section
				  739.120(b)(2).
				  Transfer facilities that store used oil for more than 35 days are subject to
				  regulation under Subpart F.
"Used oil transporter" means any person that transports used
				  oil, any person that collects used oil from more than one generator and that
				  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
				  that occur in the normal course of used oil transportation (e.g., settling and
				  water separation), but that are not designed to produce (or make more amenable
				  for production of) used oil derived products or used oil
				  fuel.
