A company wants to transport small amounts of used oil. Is this allowed?

A generator may self transport used oil to an aggregation point [NR 679.01(13), Wis. Adm. Code] without having an EPA identification number, department solid waste transportation license, or otherwise complying with used oil transporter standards, only if the generator complies with the following conditions [NR 679.24(2)]:

1. the generator transports the used oil in a vehicle owned by the generator, or an employee of the generator,
2. the generator transports no more than 55 gallons of used oil at any time, and
3. the generator transports the used oil to an aggregation point that is owned or operated by the owner or operator of the generator's site.

If a generator who self-transports used oil does not meet these conditions, the generator would be fully regulated as a used oil transporter per subchapter E of chapter NR 679.

Aggregation points must comply with the standards for used oil generators in subchapter C of NR 679. An aggregation point may be eligible for the reduced requirements for on-site burning in space heaters in NR 679.23. An aggregation point that does not meet the conditions in NR 679.23 may only burn on-specification used oil in a space heater, and would normally be subject to the used oil fuel marketer standards in subchapter H of NR 679.
