NR 679.21(2) (2)The rebuttable presumption for used oil of s. NR 679.10 (2) (a) 2. applies to used oil managed by generators. Under the rebuttable presumption for used oil of s. NR 679.10 (2) (a) 2., used oil containing greater than or equal to 1,000 ppm total halogens is presumed to be a hazardous waste and thus shall be managed as hazardous waste and not as used oil unless the presumption is rebutted. However, the rebuttable presumption does not apply to certain metalworking oils or fluids and certain used oils removed from refrigeration units.
