by a VSQG during a calendar month in which the VSQG generated hazardous
waste during an episodic event, and the amount of hazardous waste
does not exceed 220 pounds (100 kilograms) per month per generator,

Test), as described in "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Wastes,
Physical/Chemical Methods" (United States Environmental Protection

by some means of compression in order to remove free-flowing used
oil;
(ii) the used filter element of a filter consisting
of a replaceable filtration element in a reusable or permanent housing
has been removed from the housing and pressed to remove free-flowing
used oil; or
(iii) the housing is punctured and the filter is drained
for at least 24 hours.
(2) Used oil filters (to include filters that have
