7045.0840 USED OIL SPECIFICATIONS.
A.
Used oil burned for energy recovery, and any fuel produced from used oil by processing, blending, or other treatment, is subject to regulation under parts 7045.0790 to 7045.0990 unless it is shown not to exceed any of the allowable levels in item B. Once used oil that is to be burned for energy recovery has been shown not to exceed any of the specifications in item B and the person making that showing complies with part 7045.0895, subparts 4, 5, and 6, item B, the used oil is considered on-specification used oil and is no longer subject to the burning requirements of parts 7045.0790 to 7045.0990. Used oil to be burned as on-specification used oil must be shown to meet the specifications of item B at least once per source. Additional evaluation is not required unless the source of the used oil changes in some manner that may cause used oil from that source to exceed the specifications of item B.

| CONSTITUENT/PROPERTY | ALLOWABLE LEVEL |
| Arsenic, total | 5 ppm maximum |
| Cadmium, total | 2 ppm maximum |
| Chromium, total | 10 ppm maximum |
| Lead, total | 100 ppm maximum |
| Flash point | 100 degrees Fahrenheit minimum |
