The Alabama Department of Environmental Management (“ADEM”) and Rylie Oil Recycling, LLC, (“ROR”) entered into a September 22nd Consent Order (“CO”) addressing alleged violations of the Alabama regulations addressing used oil transportation. See Consent Order No. 22-XXX-CHW.

The CO provides that ROR operates a used oil transportation company (“Facility”) in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama.

The Facility is described as a used oil transporter/transfer facility, as those terms are defined in ADEM Admin. Code Div. 14.

A representative of ADEM’s Industrial Hazardous Waste Branch is stated to have conducted on April 11th a Compliance Evaluation Inspection (“CEI”) of the ROR Facility.

The CEI and a review of ROR’s compliance is alleged to have shown the following:

  • ROR transported used oil without having received an Alabama Used Oil Transport Permit.

Pursuant to ADEM Admin. Code r335-14-17-.05(3)(d), a non-rail transporter must not transport used oil without having received an Alabama Used Oil Transport Permit in compliance with specified rules.

ROR neither admits nor denies ADEM’s contentions.

A civil penalty of $4,000 is assessed.
