25 Pa. Code § 298.60 - Applicability
(a)
General. This subchapter applies to waste oil burners except
as specified in paragraphs (1) and (2). A waste oil burner is a facility where
waste oil not meeting the specification requirements in §
298.11 (relating to waste oil
specifications) is burned for energy recovery in devices identified in §
298.61(a)
(relating to restrictions on burning). A waste oil burner who complies with
this subchapter is deemed to have a solid waste permit for the burning of that
waste oil. The Department may require a waste oil burner subject to
permit-by-rule to apply for, and obtain, an individual or general permit, or
take other appropriate action, when the waste oil burner is not in compliance
with the requirements for the permit-by-rule or is conducting an activity that
harms or presents a threat of harm to the health, safety or welfare of the
people or the environment of this Commonwealth. Facilities burning waste oil
for energy recovery under one or more of the following conditions are not
subject to this subchapter:
(1) The waste oil
is burned by the generator in an onsite space heater under the provisions of
§
298.23 (relating to onsite burning
in space heaters).
(2) The waste
oil is burned by a processor/rerefiner for purposes of processing waste oil
which is considered burning incidentally to waste oil
processing.
(b)
Other applicable provisions. A waste oil burner who conducts
the following activities is also subject to other applicable provisions of this
chapter as follows:
(1) A burner who
generates waste oil shall also comply with Subchapter C (relating to waste oil
generators).
(2) A burner who
transports waste oil shall also comply with Subchapter E (relating to waste oil
transporters and transfer facilities).
(3) Except as provided in §
298.61(b), a
burner who processes or rerefines waste oil shall also comply with Subchapter F
(relating to waste oil processing/rerefining facilities).
(4) A burner who directs shipments of
off-specification waste oil from its facility to a waste oil burner or first
claims that waste oil that is to be burned for energy recovery meets the waste
oil fuel specifications in §
298.11 shall also comply with
Subchapter H (relating to waste oil fuel marketers).
(5) A burner shall dispose of waste oil in
accordance with Article VII or IX (relating to hazardous waste management; and
residual waste management).
(c)
Specification fuel. This
subchapter does not apply to a person burning waste oil that meets the waste
oil fuel specification of § 298.11, if the burner complies with Subchapter
H.
