(a) A permit for a stationary commercial solid oil
and gas waste recycling facility issued pursuant to this division
shall contain requirements the Commission determines to be reasonably
necessary to ensure that:
(1) only wastes and other materials authorized by the
permit are received at the facility, including requirements that the
permittee test incoming oil and gas waste and keep records of amounts
and sources of incoming wastes; and
(2) the processing operation and resulting recyclable
product meet the environmental and engineering standards established
in the permit.
(b) A permit for a stationary commercial solid oil
and gas waste recycling facility issued under this division may require
the permittee to perform a trial run in accordance with the following
procedure.
(1) The permittee shall notify the appropriate district
office for the county in which the facility is located prior to commencement
of the trial run.
(2) The permittee shall demonstrate the ability to
successfully process a one thousand cubic yard batch of solid oil
and gas waste.
(A) The Oil and Gas Division in Austin and the appropriate
district office must be notified in writing at least 72 hours before
waste processing begins.
(B) Samples of the partially treated waste must be
collected and analyzed as required by §4.243 of this title (relating
to Minimum Permit Provisions for Monitoring).
(C) Samples shall be collected from every 200 cubic
yards of an 800 cubic yard batch and analyzed for wetting and drying
durability by ASTM D 559-96, modified to provide that samples are
compacted and molded from finished partially treated waste. The total
weight loss after 12 cycles may not exceed 15 percent.
(3) The permittee shall sample and analyze the partially
treated waste that results from the trial run, and submit to the director
for review a report of the results of the trial run prior to commencing
operations.
(4) The director shall approve the trial run if the
report demonstrates that the recyclable product meets or exceeds the
environmental and engineering standards established in the permit.
(5) The permittee shall not use the recyclable product
until the director approves the trial run report.
(6) A written report of the trial run shall be submitted
to the Oil and Gas Division in Austin and the appropriate district
office within 60 days of receipt of the analyses required in §4.243
of this title. The following information must be included:
(A) the actual volume of waste material processed;
(B) the volume of stabilization material used;
(C) copies of all lab analyses required by §4.243
of this title; and
(D) the results of the analysis required under paragraph
(2)(C) of this subsection.
(7) The final recyclable material must meet the limitations
of §4.243 of this title.
(c) A permit for a stationary commercial solid oil
and gas waste recycling facility issued pursuant to this division
shall include any requirements, including limits on the volumes of
oil and gas waste, partially treated waste, and recyclable product
stored at the facility, that the Commission determines to be reasonably
necessary to ensure that the permittee does not speculatively accumulate
oil and gas waste, partially treated waste, and/or recyclable product
at the facility without actually processing the oil and gas waste
and putting the recyclable product to legitimate commercial use.
