operator of a used oil collection center, as defined in Section 48622

provision of law.
(b) (1) Any generator that falsely certifies pursuant to subdivision (a) that the used oil transferred to a used oil recycling facility does not contain PCBs at a concentration of 5 ppm or greater shall be liable for damages equal to three times the amount of any costs incurred by any transporter, facility owner or operator, or any other person adversely affected by the false certification, in a civil action that may be brought by the adversely affected party.
(2) In an action pursuant to this subdivision against a generator whose used oil was commingled with used oil generated by other generators prior to being delivered to the facility, the plaintiff shall demonstrate, by clear and convincing evidence, that the generator generated used oil containing PCBs at a concentration of 5ppm or greater.
(c) For the purposes of this section, the calculation of damages shall include any consequential damages caused by mixing the incorrectly certified PCB-contaminated used oil with other used oil.
