DATE: County
Introduced June 14 , 1988 for
SUBJECT: Board Action on June 21, 1988.
ESTABLISHING PROCESS FOR RECYCLING OIL PRODUCTS
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to Solid Waste Commission
to consider establishing a permit process where applicants applying
for a Land Use permit for a gas station or vehicle lubricating
business would be required as a condition of approval, in
unincorporated areas, to accept oil at no charge to be recycled.
It is also my recommendation that applicants for renovations of gas
stations and for new tanks be required to accept used oil.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: My office receives several calls a
month from people inquiring where they can take used oil. There are
only a few places that will even take the oil and they are principally
located in Central County and charge the person to take the oil.
It is my fear that rather than take the oil to Concord or Martinez, it
is .improperly dumped somewhere.
Used oil is a hazardous waste in California. Used oil is a
carrier of contaminants that are harmful to the environment.
Crankcase oil drainings have been reported to account for more than
40% of the total oil pollution of our nation' s harbor and waterways.
One pint of oil could produce a slick approximately one acre in size.
