The owner or operator of a waste oil processing or rerefining facility shall develop and follow a written analysis plan describing the procedures that will be used to comply with the analysis requirements of § 298.53 (relating to rebuttable presumption for waste oil and flashpoint screening) and, if applicable, § 298.72 (relating to on-specification waste oil fuel). The owner or operator shall keep the plan at the facility.
(1) Rebuttable presumption for waste oil and flash point screening in § 298.53. At a minimum, the plan shall specify the following:
- (i) Whether sample analyses or knowledge of the halogen content of the waste oil will be used to make this determination.
(ii) If sample analyses are used to make this determination:
(A) The sampling method used to obtain representative samples to be analyzed. A representative sample may be obtained using either:
- (I) One of the sampling methods in 40 CFR Part 261, Appendix I (relating to representative sampling methods) incorporated by reference in § 261a.1 (relating to incorporation by reference, purpose and scope).
- (II) A method shown to be equivalent under 40 CFR 260.20 and 260.21 (relating to general; and petitions for equivalent testing or analytical methods), incorporated by reference in § 260a.1 (relating to incorporated by reference, purpose, scope and applicablity).
- (B) The frequency of sampling to be performed, and whether the analysis will be performed onsite or offsite.
- (C) The methods used to analyze waste oil for the parameters specified in § 298.53.
- (iii) The type of information that will be used to determine the halogen content of the waste oil.
(2) On-specification waste oil fuel in § 298.72. At a minimum, the plan shall specify the following if § 298.72 applies:
- (i) Whether sample analyses or other information will be used to make this determination.
(ii) If sample analyses are used to make this determination:
(A) The sampling method used to obtain representative samples to be analyzed. A representative sample may be obtained using one of the following:
- (I) One of the sampling methods in 40 CFR Part 261, Appendix I, incorporated by reference in § 261a.1.
- (II) A method shown to be equivalent under 40 CFR 260.20 and 260.21 incorporated by reference in § 260a.1.
- (B) Whether waste oil will be sampled and analyzed prior to or after any waste oil processing/rerefining.
- (C) The frequency of sampling to be performed and whether the analysis will be performed onsite or offsite.
- (D) The methods used to analyze waste oil for the parameters specified in § 298.72.
- (iii) The type of information that will be used to make the onspecification waste oil fuel determination.
