Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
Terms defined in §§
												260a.1 and
						  260a.10 (relating to incorporation
						  by reference, purpose, scope and applicability; and definitions) that are not
						  defined in §
												287.1 (relating to definitions)
						  have the same meanings when used in this chapter. The following words and
						  terms, when used in this chapter, have the following meanings, unless the
						  context clearly indicates otherwise:
Aboveground storage tank
-A tank used
						  to store or process waste oil that is not an underground storage tank.
Container
-A portable device in which a
						  material is stored, transported, treated, disposed of or otherwise
						  handled.
Household "do-it-yourselfer" waste
						  oil
-Oil that is derived from households, such as waste oil generated
						  by individuals who generate waste oil through the maintenance of their personal
						  vehicles.
Household "do-it-yourselfer" waste oil
						  generator
-An individual who generates household "do-it-yourselfer"
						  waste oil.
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-for example, facilities classified as SIC 2911.
Rerefining distillation bottoms
-The
						  heavy fraction produced by vacuum distillation of filtered and dehydrated waste
						  oil. The composition of still bottoms varies with column operation and
						  feedstock.
Tank
-A stationary device, designed to
						  contain an accumulation of waste oil which is constructed primarily of
						  nonearthen or nonwooden materials-for example, concrete, steel, plastic-which
						  provides structural support.
Underground storage tank
-An
						  underground storage tank as defined in §
												245.1 (relating to
						  definitions).
Waste oil aggregation point
-A site or
						  facility that accepts, aggregates or stores waste oil collected only from other
						  waste oil generation sites owned or operated by the owner or operator of the
						  aggregation point, from which waste oil is transported to the aggregation point
						  in shipments of no more than 55 gallons. Waste oil aggregation points may also
						  accept waste oil from household do-it-yourselfers.
Waste oil burner
-A facility where
						  waste oil not meeting the specification requirements in §
												298.11 (relating to waste oil
						  specifications) is burned for energy recovery in devices identified in §
												298.61(a)
						  (relating to restrictions on burning).
Waste oil collection center
-A site or
						  facility that is registered, licensed, permitted and accepts, aggregates and
						  stores waste oil collected from waste oil generators regulated under Subchapter
						  C (relating to waste oil generators) who bring waste oil to the collection
						  center in shipments of no more than 55 gallons under §
												298.24 (relating to offsite
						  shipments). Waste oil collection centers may also accept waste oil from
						  household do-it-yourselfers.
Waste oil fuel marketer
-A person who
						  conducts one of the following activities:
(i) Directs a shipment of off-specification
						waste oil from the person's facility to a waste oil burner.
(ii) First claims that waste oil that is to
						be burned for energy recovery meets the waste oil fuel specifications in §
						298.11.
Waste oil generator
-A person, by site,
						  whose act or process produces waste oil or whose act first causes waste oil to
						  become subject to this chapter.
Waste oil processing
-Chemical or
						  physical operations designed to produce from waste oil, or to make waste oil
						  more amenable for production of, fuel oils, lubricants or other waste
						  oil-derived products. Waste oil processing includes: blending waste oil with
						  virgin petroleum products, blending waste oils to meet the fuel specification,
						  filtration, simple distillation, chemical or physical separation and
						  rerefining.
Waste oil processor/rerefiner
-A
						  facility that processes waste oil.
Waste oil transfer facility
-A
						  transportation related facility including loading docks, parking areas, storage
						  areas and other areas where shipments of waste oil are received or held, or
						  both, during the normal course of transportation.
Waste oil transporter
-A person who
						  transports waste oil and a person who collects waste oil from more than one
						  generator and transports the collected oil. Transportation may include
						  consolidation or aggregation of loads of waste oil on the vehicle or in
						  transportation containers. Transporters may conduct incidental waste oil
						  separation that occurs in the normal course of waste oil transportation-for
						  example, settling and water separation.
