Section 739.155  Analysis Plan

An owner or operator of a used oil processing or re-refining facility must develop and follow a written analysis plan describing the procedures that will be used to comply with the analysis requirements of Section 739.153 and, if applicable, Section 739.172.  The owner or operator must keep the plan at the facility.

a)         Rebuttable presumption for used oil in Section 739.153.  At a minimum, the plan must specify the following:

1)         Whether sample analyses or knowledge of the halogen content of the used oil will be used to make this determination;

2)         If sample analyses are used to make this determination, the following requirements must be fulfilled:

A)        The sampling method used to obtain representative samples to be analyzed.  A representative sample may be obtained using either of the following:

i)          One of the sampling methods in Appendix I of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721; or

ii)         A method shown to be equivalent under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.120 and 720.121;

B)        The frequency of sampling to be performed, and whether the analysis will be performed on-site or off-site; and

C)        The methods used to analyze used oil for the parameters specified in Section 739.153; and

3)         The type of information that will be used to determine the halogen content of the used oil.

b)         On-specification used oil fuel in Section 739.172.  At a minimum, the plan must specify the following if Section 739.172 is applicable:

1)         Whether sample analyses or other information will be used to make this determination;

2)         If sample analyses are used to make this determination, the following must be specified:

A)        The sampling method used to obtain representative samples to be analyzed.  A representative sample may be obtained using either of the following:

i)          One of the sampling methods in Appendix I of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721; or

ii)         A method shown to be equivalent under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.120 and 720.121;

B)        Whether used oil will be sampled and analyzed prior to or after any processing;

C)        The frequency of sampling to be performed, and whether the analysis will be performed on-site or off-site; and

D)        The methods used to analyze used oil for the parameters specified in Section 739.172; and

3)         The type of information that will be used to make the on-specification used oil fuel determination.
