Mineral Oil Hydraulic Fluids. Disposal of used mineral oil hydraulic fluids is regulated as used oil under the Solid Waste Disposal Act as amended by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and as amended by the Used Oil Recycling Act (42 U.S.C. 6901, 6905, 6935, 6937-6939, and 6074, see 40 CFR parts 260, 261, 266, 271, and 279). Used mineral oil hydraulic fluids to be recycled are not listed as hazardous wastes and can be burned for energy recovery or recycled. In general, the newer mineral oil hydraulic fluids (including water-in-oil emulsion fluids) do not contain known chemicals or other materials that are listed in 40 CFR 261 (RCRA) and can be burned for energy recovery or recycled. However, this may not apply to some of the older hydraulic fluids, particularly those containing PCBs. 

Disposal considerations requirements for disposal under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA see Chapter 14). 

From 1929 until 1977, approximately 99% of all PCBs used by U.S. industries were manufactured by the Monsanto Chemical Company at a production facility in Sauget, Illinois (Durfee 1976 lARC 1978). During that period, over 571,000 metric tons (1,250x10 pounds) of PCBs were produced and/or used in the United States (Erickson 1997 Hansen 1999). In 1976, the U.S. Congress banned the manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce, and use of PCBs under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Exemptions may be granted to individual petitioners for use with optical microscopy, and for research and development (see Section 5.3 EPA 1998u). 

Wastes are considered hazardous according to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) when they meet one or more criteria including ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity or toxicity as per EPA definitions (see Glossary of Terms). Additionally, wastes are also considered hazardous when they are included in one of the following lists ... 

This chapter applies to all locations involved in the storage or use of chemicals and chemical products (see def). An important point of this chapter is that these consolidated requirements apply until the time the chemicals are identified as solid waste for final disposal (see def.) under the provisions of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). 

As defined under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), any solid or combination of solid wastes that, because of its physical, chemical, or infectious characteristics, may pose a hazard when improperly disposed of. Possesses at least one of four characteristics (ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or toxicity), or appears on special Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) lists. See also Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). 

All hazardous waste generated in the United States is subject to regulations established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA, 1976). (See Section 8.2.2 for a definition of chemical waste .) RCRA (pronounced reck-rah ) established...
