§ 47-4. Storage regulations.

All waste oils shall be drained and stored in accordance with the following regulations:

A. 

Service stations.

(1) 

Oil separators shall be provided by the operator to prevent oil spillage from flowing into a sewage disposal system. The receptacle of the oil separator shall be emptied as frequently as necessary, and such oils recovered from the separator shall be removed and stored as hereafter required.

(2) 

Oil removed from oil separators and all other waste oil shall be stored in approved below-ground outside storage tanks. Where ground conditions would make such installations impractical, the Director may permit an approved aboveground outside storage tank.

B. 

Repair shops, junkyards and manufacturing, processing and industrial plants. Waste oil accumulated from these operations shall be stored in an approved outside storage tank or in approved metal drums or barrels located outside of the building at locations designated by the Director or his representative.

C. 

Other installations. Waste oil drained from any motor, machine or equipment at locations other than those specified herein may be stored, at the discretion of the Director or his representative, in approved storage tanks, drums, barrels or five-gallon metal screw-top containers. All storage receptacles must be located outside of the building at locations designated by the Director or his representative.
