        oils, used hydraulic oils and used transformer oils);                                       
  (b). Sludge oils from the storage tanks of petroleum oils, mainly containing such oils and        
        a high concentration of additives (for example, chemicals) used in the manufacture          
        of the primary products; and                                                                
  (c).   Such oils in the form of emulsions in water or mixtures with water, such as those          
          resulting from oil spills, storage tank washings, or from the use of cutting oils for     
          machining operations.
