SECTION 48690-48691

48690. A local government is eligible for a payment pursuant to
paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of Section 48653, if it develops and
submits a local used oil collection program to the board pursuant to
Section 48691 and files a report pursuant to Section 48674. The
board shall make a payment to every local government that submits a
program and files a report unless the board finds that the program or
its implementation does not comply with criteria contained in this
article. The board may make a payment to another entity that will
implement the program of a local government in lieu of making a
payment to that local government with the concurrence of that local
government. A payment issued by the board pursuant to this section
may take the form of an advance payment. If a local government does
not implement a used oil collection program or chooses not to accept
the payment pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of Section
48653, the board may allocate that local government's payment to
another local government that commits to implementing a used oil
collection program pursuant to Section 48691 and serving the
residents of the nonparticipating local government, if any program
implemented within the boundaries of the nonparticipating
jurisdiction is approved by the nonparticipating jurisdiction.

48691. (a) A local used oil collection program shall provide for
used lubricating oil collection by either of the following or a
combination of the two:
(1) Ensuring that at least one certified used oil collection
center is available for every 100,000 residents not served by
curbside used oil collection, that accepts oil from the public at no
charge, during the hours the center is open for business.
(2) Providing used oil curbside collection at least once a month.
(b) A local used oil collection program shall include a public
education program that informs the public of locally available used
oil recycling opportunities.
(c) A local government may implement its used oil collection
program in conjunction with other similar programs in order to
improve used oil recycling efficiency.
(d) A local government that has implemented the used oil
collection and education elements of subdivisions (a) and (b) may
also include, in the local used oil collection program one or both of
the following:
(1) Provisions for the mitigation and the collection of oil and
oil byproducts, including other solid waste that may be mixed with
oil or oil byproducts from stormwater runoff, including devices to
capture that stormwater runoff, such as the use of storm drain inlet
filter devices. A local government shall not receive a payment
pursuant to Section 48690 for the purposes identified pursuant to
this paragraph unless the local government certifies that it has a
stormwater management program that is approved by the appropriate
California regional water quality control board and that the
provisions in the local used oil collection program approved for
funding under this paragraph are consistent with that approved
stormwater management program.
(2) A used oil filter collection and recycling program.
