Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. Terms that are
				  defined in LAC 33:V.109 have the same meanings when used in this Chapter.
Aboveground Tank
- a tank used to store or
					 process used oil that is not an underground tank as defined in LAC
					 33:V.109.
Container
- any portable device in which a
					 material is stored, transported, treated, disposed of, or otherwise
					 handled.
Do-It-Yourselfer (DIY) Used Oil Collection
					 Center
- any site or facility that accepts/aggregates and stores used
					 oil collected only from household do-it-yourselfers.
Existing Tank
- a tank that is used for
					 the storage or processing of used oil and that is in operation or for which
					 installation commenced on or prior to the effective date of the authorized used
					 oil program. Installation will be considered to have commenced if the owner or
					 operator has obtained all approvals or permits necessary to begin installation
					 of the tank and if either a continuous on-site installation program has begun
					 or 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
- oil
					 that is derived from households, such as used oil generated by individuals
					 through the maintenance of their personal vehicles.
Household Do-It-Yourselfer Used Oil
					 Generator
- an individual who generates household do-it-yourselfer used
					 oil.
New Tank
- a tank that will be used to
					 store or process used oil and for which installation commenced after the
					 effective date of the authorized used oil program.
Petroleum Refining Facility
-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
- 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
- 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
- any stationary device designed to
					 contain an accumulation of used oil which is constructed primarily of
					 nonearthen materials, (e.g., wood, concrete, steel, plastic) which provides
					 structural support.
Used Oil
- 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
- 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
- a facility where used
					 oil not meeting the specification requirements in LAC 33:V.4005 is burned for
					 energy recovery in devices identified in LAC 33:V.4063.
Used Oil Collection Center
- any site or
					 facility that is registered, licensed, permitted, and/or recognized to manage
					 used oil and accepts/aggregates and stores used oil collected from used oil
					 generators regulated under LAC 33:V.Chapter 40.Subchapter B which bring used
					 oil to the collection center in shipments of no more than 55 gallons under the
					 provisions of LAC 33:V.4017. Used oil collection centers may also accept used
					 oil from household do-it-yourselfers.
Used Oil Fuel Marketer
- any person who
					 conducts either of the following activities:
a. directs a shipment of off-specification used oil from
					 their facility to a used oil burner; or
b. first claims that used oil that is to be burned for
					 energy recovery meets the used oil fuel specifications set forth in LAC
					 33:V.4005.
Used Oil Generator
- 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
- a facility
					 that processes used oil.
Used Oil Transfer Facility
- 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 in accordance with LAC
					 33:V.4009.B.2. Transfer facilities that store used oil for more than 35 days
					 are subject to regulation under Subchapter E of this Chapter.
Used Oil Transporter
- 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 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.
