Used Oil Section

Our Mission

Protect the public and the environment from exposure to contamination caused by the improper treatment, storage and disposal of used oil.

Our Goals

The Division's goals are to eliminate, or reduce, the obstacles to proper collection and disposal of do-it-yourselfer (DIYer) used oil, (i.e., used oil generated through household activities, including maintenance of personal vehicles) through a broad and extensive public education program, and by making used oil collection centers more accessible, and to maintain pertinent standards and regulations that apply to oil handlers including generators, transporters, processors, re-refiners, burners, and marketers.

Form 17.5 concerns the "Environmental Pollution Liability Insurance for Third-Party Damages Section" on the Processor, Off-Specfication Burner, and Transfer Facility forms.

Form 17.6 concerns the "Environmental Pollution Liability Insurance for Third-Party Damages Section" on the Transporter form.

2012 inflation factor is 1.02105.
