The Utah Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste is proposing changes to the Used Oil Management Rules (R315-15). The used oil management rules address the permitting of used oil facilities and the proper management and recycling of used oil in the state. Specifically, R315-15-6.2 specifies that off-specification used oil may only be burned for energy recovery in certain devices, such as hazardous waste incinerators. In addition, R315-15-13.6(b) requires facilities that desire to burn off-specification used oil to apply for and receive a permit from the Executive Secretary of the Utah Solid and Hazardous Waste Control Board prior to burning off-specification used oil.
The purpose of the proposed rule changes is to allow hazardous waste incinerator facilities which currently hold a hazardous waste permit issued by the Executive Secretary to burn off-specification used oil without the need to also obtain a separate off-specification used oil burner permit under the Utah used oil management rules, R315-15-13.6(b).
Currently, there is one permitted hazardous waste incinerator operating in Utah, and the requirements for storage, testing, and record keeping of materials (including off-specification used oil) to be burned at the facility are as stringent as the used oil management rules and permitting requirements. Also, Division personnel inspect this hazardous waste incinerator facility on a regular and frequent basis to ensure compliance with the requirements of the hazardous waste permit. Therefore, the proposed rule changes would eliminate the need for a separate off-specification used oil burner permit (if certain conditions are met), and would reduce the redundant requirements already addressed by the hazardous waste permit.
As part of the official rulemaking process, a required 30-day public comment period will commence on Wednesday, July 1, 2009 and end Thursday, July 30, 2009. For the public’s convenience, a copy of the proposed rule changes may be viewed on line in pdf format. A copy is also available for review in the Division’s office on the 4th Floor, Martha Hughes Cannon Health Building, 288 North 1460 West, Salt Lake City, Utah during normal business hours.
Written comments regarding the proposed rule changes will be accepted until 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 30, 2009, and should be addressed to:
Dennis R. Downs, Executive Secretary
Utah Solid and Hazardous Waste Control Board
P.O. Box 144880
Salt Lake City, Utah 84114-4880
Comments may be sent via electronic mail to: swpublic@utah.gov, and should be identified in the subject line by putting the following information “Comments on Proposed Used Oil Rule Changes.” All documents included in the comments should be submitted as ASCII (text) files or in PDF format.
Following receipt of any comments received during the public comment period, the Division will make changes where appropriate and present the final proposed rule changes to the Utah Solid and Hazardous Waste Control Board for review and approval to become effective.
If you have any questions regarding these proposed rule changes, please contact Cheryl Prawl or Patrick Sheehan at (801) 538-6170. In compliance with the Americans with Disability Act, individuals with special needs (including auxiliary communicative needs and services), should contact the Department of Environmental Quality's Office of Human Resource Management at (801) 536-4413 (TDD 536-4414).
