Management units. Waste oil processor/rerefiners may not store
waste oil in units other than tanks, containers, or units subject to regulation
under Chapters 264a or 265a (relating to owners and operators of hazardous
waste treatment, storage and disposal facilities; and interim status standards
for owners and operators of hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal
facilities).
(b)
Condition
of units. A container or aboveground tank used to store or process
waste oil at waste oil processing and rerefining facilities shall meet the
following conditions:
(1)
Be in good
condition. For example, containers and aboveground storage tanks may
not exhibit severe rusting, apparent structural defects or
deterioration.
(2)
Not
leaking (no visible leaks).
(c)
Secondary containment for

impervious to the migration of waste oil to prevent any waste oil released into
the containment system from migrating out of the system to the soil,
groundwater or surface water.
(d)
Additional requirements for
containers. The total container height of a group of containers may
not exceed 9 feet. The maximum width and depth of a group of containers shall
