Section 25250.28 Of Article 13. Management Of Used Oil From California Health And Safety Code >> Division 20. >> Chapter 6.5. >> Article 13.
25250.28
. (a) For purposes of this section, "automated onboard oil
management system" means a system designed to extend the intervals
between necessary oil changes and diminish the use of crankcase oil
by electronically sensing changes in the physical properties of the
oil in the crankcase and, based on the properties detected,
periodically transferring oil directly from the engine crankcase into
the fuel tank to be burned as fuel.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, oil that is
managed by an automated onboard oil management system is exempt from
the requirements of this article and is excluded from classification
as a waste under this chapter if all of the following conditions are
satisfied:
(1) The system is applied to a mining vehicle with a gross vehicle
weight capacity in excess of 200,000 pounds or a locomotive, and all
of the following conditions are satisfied:
(A) Data concerning the air emissions associated with the
operation of the system in those classes of equipment is submitted to
the State Air Resources Board on or before January 1, 2002, and the
data demonstrates that the operation of the system will not
significantly impair the state's air quality. Mitigation measures may
be provided to assist in satisfying this condition.
(B) The system is designed, maintained, and operated in a manner
that does all of the following:
(i) The leakage of oil from any of the component parts of the
system is prevented.
(ii) The quantity of used oil in the fuel tank at any given time
is not more than 3 percent of the nominal capacity of the fuel tank.
(iii) The system meets the air emission criteria demonstrated by
the applicant in the air emissions data submitted to the State Air
Resources Board pursuant to subparagraph (A).
(C) Any mitigation provided to satisfy the air quality requirement
in subparagraph (A) is maintained throughout the period of operation
of the system or alternative satisfactory mitigation is provided.
(2) The system and the use of the system is approved by the State
Air Resources Board, after consultation with the department, and all
of the following requirements are satisfied:
(A) The State Air Resources Board determines that operation of the
system will not significantly impair the state's air quality.
Mitigation measures may be provided to assist in satisfying this
requirement.
(B) A description of the manner in which the system will be
operated to ensure compliance with the federal act and the Clean Air
Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. Sec. 7401 et seq.) is submitted with the
application for approval of the system pursuant to this paragraph and
the system is operated in accordance with that description.
(C) The system is designed, maintained, and operated in a manner
that prevents the leakage of oil from any of the component parts of
the system.
(D) The system is designed, maintained, and operated in compliance
with any conditions that the State Air Resources Board, after
consultation with the department, determines to be necessary to
ensure compliance with the requirements of this section.
(E) Any mitigation provided to satisfy the air quality requirement
in subparagraph (A) is maintained throughout the period of operation
of the system or alternative satisfactory mitigation is provided.
(c) This section does not exempt any of the following:
(1) Oil removed from an engine, other than through the operation
of an automated onboard oil management system, from this article or
from classification as a waste under this chapter.
(2) Emissions or other releases into the environment resulting
from the operation of an automated onboard oil management system,
from otherwise applicable air emissions standards, or any other
applicable law.
(3) Oil managed by an automated onboard oil management system on
vehicles authorized to be driven on the public highways pursuant to
the Vehicle Code.
