                   TITLE 40--PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENT

 

         CHAPTER I--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (CONTINUED)

 

PART 279_STANDARDS FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF USED OIL--Table of Contents

 

               Subpart C_Standards for Used Oil Generators

 

Sec.  279.21  Hazardous waste mixing.



    (a) Mixtures of used oil and hazardous waste must be managed in 

accordance with Sec.  279.10(b).

    (b) The rebuttable presumption for used oil of Sec.  

279.10(b)(1)(ii) applies to used oil managed by generators. Under the 

rebuttable presumption for used oil of Sec.  279.10(b)(1)(ii), used oil 

containing greater than 1,000 ppm total halogens is presumed to be a 

hazardous waste and thus must be managed as hazardous waste and not as 

used oil unless the presumption is rebutted. However, the rebuttable 

presumption does not apply to certain metalworking oils/fluids and 

certain used oils removed from refrigeration units.
