NR 679.44 Rebuttable presumption for used oil. NR 679.44(1)(1)
To ensure that used oil is not a hazardous waste under the rebuttable presumption of s.

(b) Applying knowledge of the halogen content of the used oil in light of the materials or processes used.
NR 679.44(3)
(3) Used oil containing greater than 1,000 ppm total halogens is presumed to be a hazardous waste because it has been mixed with halogenated hazardous waste listed in subch.
D of ch. NR 661. The owner or operator may rebut this presumption by demonstrating that the used oil does not contain hazardous waste (for example, by showing that the used oil does not contain significant concentrations of halogenated hazardous constituents listed in ch.
NR 661 Appendix VIII).
NR 679.44(3)(a)
(a) The rebuttable presumption does not apply to metalworking oils or fluids containing chlorinated paraffins, if they are processed, through a tolling arrangement as described in s.

NR 679.44(3)(b)
(b) The rebuttable presumption does not apply to used oils contaminated with chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) removed from refrigeration units if the CFCs are destined for reclamation.
