Regs for Florida on Used Oil

FED 387 · 02-25-2010, 01:30 PM

I think that it is IMPERATIVE that EVERY racer go online and look up USED OIL GENERATOR regs/rules for their own/home state as well as any state they maybe racing in to familiarize them selves with the requirements set down by the EPA in those states. I noticed looking at a few states that generators of less than X gallons or X pounds USED OIL per month as well as certain occupational categories such as "do it yourselfer" farmers and some other categories are exempt from most of the regulations ,also oily rags and oil dry MAY fall into a category for disposal that is not the same as USED OIL... Also get yourself a good container maybe like a Fuel Jug that is maybe DOT compliant and label it USED OIL so that you have a place to store the USED OIL in your trailer. I
I also noticed that any USED OIL that has been diluted with "Halogenated or Chlorinated "propellants AUTOMATICALLY becomeslabeled as HAZARDOUS OIL not USED OIL!! and is now subject to a whole new set of rules(much strictor as far as storage/handling/transportation)!!!!!!!!!!!
My 2 cents on it!!!! Comp 387
