Oil Distributing Company/ A RelaDyne Company Announces the Acquisition of Hill Oil Company and PetroClean Solutions Headquartered in North Louisiana

Cincinnati, Ohio, December 2, 2011 - RelaDyne, LLC (“RelaDyne”) continues its strategy of expanding its lubrication services and reliability solutions by acquiring James P. Hill Distributors (“Hill Oil”) and its affiliate PetroClean Solutions (“PetroClean”), based in Farmerville, Louisiana. Hill Oil is the third lubricant distributor that RelaDyne has acquired since it began in November 2010.

“Hill Oil is a perfect fit for RelaDyne’s growth strategy,” states Jeff Hart, Executive Vice President of Business Development for RelaDyne. “We are very excited to have Hill Oil and PetroClean join the RelaDyne family. They are the dominant distribution and service company in their geography providing industry leading value to their customers and suppliers. This will be one of many acquisitions that expand RelaDyne’s geographic footprint and expand the products and services that we have available to create more value to our customers.”

Hill Oil serves Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, and East Texas and is the region’s leading distributor of lubricants, fuel, comprehensive fluid purification and flushing solutions. Add to the mix Hill’s PetroClean division, which dramatically scales RelaDyne’s Field Reliability Management business group with industrial-related services. The result is a synergistic market share expansion of RelaDyne’s core product groups, including lubricants, fuel, and Diesel Exhaust Fluid.

Scott and Kerry Hill, owners of Hill Oil Company, and the entire staff including the sales and operations team will be staying with the company, utilizing Hill’s existing 10 facilities to ensure continuity for all customers, employees and suppliers. “Our commitment to our customers begins with our employees,” says Scott Hill, President. “By joining the RelaDyne team, our employees will be able to grow and benefit from RelaDyne’s programs and experience allowing us to serve our customers with a larger selection of quality products and services that we could not have done alone.”

“I am excited and proud to welcome the Hill Oil and PetroClean employees to RelaDyne,” states Larry Stoddard, Chief Executive Officer for RelaDyne. “This acquisition creates a significant opportunity for us to expand our distribution presence in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and East Texas. Additionally, it creates opportunities to not only grow in those territories but also expand our network of goods and services offered by RelaDyne in all markets.”

Hill Oil and PetroClean join RelaDyne just one year after RelaDyne’s inception and three months after RelaDyne’s first acquisition with Derrick Oil and Supply in Port Arthur, Texas.

Heritage-Crystal Clean, Inc. Announces Acquisition of Crystal Flash Used Oil Collection

ELGIN, Ill., December 1, 2011 -- Heritage-Crystal Clean, Inc. (Nasdaq: HCCI, “the Company”), a leading provider of parts cleaning and hazardous and non-hazardous waste services to small and mid-sized customers, today announced the signing of an asset purchase agreement to acquire certain assets of the used oil collection business of Crystal Flash Limited Partnership of Michigan.

Crystal Flash Limited Partnership of Michigan, operating as "Crystal Flash Energy", will continue to operate its fuel distribution business, primarily within the State of Michigan, servicing over 30,000 customers for their fuel needs with a fleet of 125 trucks.

Based on the historical performance of Crystal Flash Energy, the Company expects the transaction will result in additional used oil collection volume of approximately 3.5 million gallons per year, primarily in the state of Michigan. The Company anticipates that this will serve as an important source of supply for its used oil re-refinery being built in Indianapolis, Indiana. The Company is acquiring the Crystal Flash Energy assets for approximately $3.5 million, consisting of approximately $1.7 million in cash at the time of closing and an estimated $1.8 million in future payments linked to the continuing performance of the acquired business.

Mr. Joseph Chalhoub, President and Chief Executive Officer of Heritage-Crystal Clean, Inc. commented: “We are very pleased to be adding the Crystal Flash Energy personnel to our team, and their assets to our organization. Crystal Flash Energy has a long and proud history as one of the best used oil collectors in the state of Michigan. We expect this acquisition to add approximately $6 to $7 million of annual revenue, based on current market prices and historical performance. Furthermore, once our re-refinery is complete, we plan to upgrade the value of the collected used oil by converting it to lube base stock.”

Chalhoub added: “With this acquisition, we expect to add approximately 2,000 new customers, and this should fit nicely into our existing branch infrastructure. Over the past decade, we have made significant investments to build a network that today includes 67 branch locations, and we have developed the excellent team that operates our business at each of these sites. Because of these historic investments, we have been able to smoothly merge acquired assets into our Company operations, and we have also been able to achieve organic growth in the used oil collection business.”

NORA News Alert: US House passes NORA-Backed EPA Regulatory Relief Act - Long Road Still Ahead

Scott Parker - noemail@noranews.org — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 18:05:52 GMT

NORA-Backed EPA Regulatory Relief Act of 2011 Approved by US House: Long Road Still Ahead

By a vote of 275-142, the US House of Representatives approved HR 2250, known as the EPA Regulatory Relief Act of 2011. Supporting HR 2250 were 234 Republicans and 41 Democrats.

NORA has been working with a broad based coalition of trade associations on a two-pronged strategy related to EPA's misguided rule called "Identification of Non-Hazardous Secondary Materials That Are A Solid Waste". On one front, the NORA Board has decided to sue the EPA regarding the rule. On the other front, NORA is working to obtain a legislative solution.

The House Legislative Fix

HR 2250 would would make it more difficult for EPA to define materials, such as used oil, as a solid waste. The legislation would also extend the timeline to implement the rule.

According to one news report, the "bill is part of a barrage of EPA-related bills Republicans are offering in an effort to point to the agency as the source of bureaucratic red tape, overzealous enforcement and unreasonable costs compared to benefits that they say hamstring small businesses and the American economy."

Corresponding Senate Bill Faces an Uphill Battle

A corresponding Senate Bill (S. 1392) was introduced by Senator Collins of Maine and supported by Senator Wyden of Oregon. The bill currently has 36 Senators supporting it.

S. 1392 is actually more favorable to NORA members because it specifically states that the EPA "shall publish a list of nonhazardous secondary materials that are NOT solid waste when combusted in units designed for energy recovery, including... all used oil that qualifies as recycled oil under section 1004 of the Solid Waste Disposal Act."

S. 1392 has been referred to the Environment and Public Works Committee. Chairwoman Barbara Boxer of California has vowed to hold off the bill.

White House Issues Veto Threat

The White House has istated that the Administration strongly opposes HR 2250. His senior advisers have stated that if the President is presented with HR 2250, they would recommend he veto the bill.

Next Steps

All NORA members are encouraged to review the list of US Senators below who have co-sponsored S. 1392. If your Senator(s) is not on the list, NORA encourages you to contact their office and ask them to co-sponsor S. 1392, the EPA Regulatory Relief Act of 2011.

A detailed report on this subject will be provided at the NORA Annual Conference in Hawaii. All members should strongly consider supporting the NORA EPA Lawsuit Defense Fund related to this effort so the association has the appropriate resources to vigorously defend the industry.

Hello [firstname],

NORA is pleased to announce the 2011 Conference Golf Tournament in Maui. This year’s venue is the Wailea Gold Golf Course, created by Robert Trent Jones II. There are a limited number of spaces available. Register now by clicking here.

The home course of The Champions Skins Game from 2001 to 2007, the 7,078-yard Wailea Gold is the most challenging of Wailea’s trio of golf courses, with a rugged and masterful design that takes advantage of the terrain’s natural undulations. The Gold Course was honored by both Golf Magazine and Golf Digest as one of the country’s ten best new resort courses when it opened in 1994. It has also been recognized by the Maui Historical Society for its preservation of prehistoric lava rock walls during construction, and hailed as one of the world’s best designed courses by the readers of Conde Nast Traveler in the magazine’s first golf resorts poll. Called a “thinking player’s course,” the Gold Course offers a true test of one’s golf skills. The most difficult hazards on the course are the distracting island views. In one round, you can enjoy spectacular vistas of the ocean, Molokini islet, ancient lava rock walls, coconut trees and sparkling white bunkers.

The registration fee is $195, which includes, greens fees, golf cart, and range balls. NORA thanks Dexsil for organizing the golf tournament and for its generous sponsorship that provides for the box lunch and open drink cart on the course as well as the awards, drinks and hors d’œuvres at the award ceremony following the event. Transportation is on your own; course is less than a mile from the resort.

Rudy Ruettiger
Notre Dame Football Legend

To sponsor Rudy's Keynote Address, use this form for a private meeting, photo opportunity and your logo featured during his session.

Against all odds on a gridiron in South Bend, Indiana, Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger in twenty seven seconds, carved his name into history books as perhaps the most famous graduate of the University of Notre Dame. The son of an oil refinery worker and third of 14 children, Rudy rose from valleys of discouragement and despair to the pinnacles of success. Today, he is one of the most popular motivational speakers in the United States. It took years of fierce determination to overcome obstacles and criticisms, yet Rudy achieved his first dream - to attend Notre Dame and play football for the Fighting Irish. As fans cheered RU-DY, RU-DY, he sacked the quarterback in the last 27 seconds of the only play in the only game of his college football career. He is the only player in the school's history to be carried off the field on his teammates' shoulders.

In 1993, TRISTAR Productions immortalized his life story with the blockbuster film, Rudy. Written and produced by Angelo Pizzo and David Anspaugh, the award-winning team who made Hoosiers, the critically acclaimed Rudy received "Two Thumbs Up" from Siskel and Ebert and continues to inspire millions worldwide.

Today, a highly sought after motivational speaker, Rudy entertains international corporate audiences with a unique, passionate, and heartfelt style of communicating. His captivating personality and powerful message of "YES I CAN" stays with his audiences forever. Rudy shares the speaking platform with great leaders and speakers including President George Bush, First Lady Barbara Bush, Peter Lowe, Joe Montana, General Colin Powell, and Zig Ziglar. Rudy's opening remarks receive thunderous applause and standing ovations from audiences who emotionally chant RU-DY, RU-DY! A few of Rudy's media appearances include: People magazine, Sports Illustrated, USWeekly, Readers Digest, Inside Sports, The 700 Club, NFL Films, CBS’ Early Show, ABC’s Good Morning America, NBC’s Talk Live, Regis and Kathy Lee, Montel Williams Show, and Entertainment Tonight.

In addition to his motivational speaking, Rudy has co-authored several books, including: Rudy’s Insights for Winning in Life, Rudy’s Lessons for Young Champions and Rudy and Friends, and has produced the Dream Power tape series.

He has recently established the Rudy Foundation, whose mission is to help children of all ages around the world reach their full potential. The Rudy Foundation develops and supports programs that positively impact the lives of children cognitively, emotionally, physically and spiritually. The RUDY AWARDS ^TM Program was created by the Rudy Ruettiger Foundation to recognize children who make an outstanding, exceptional effort to do their personal best everyday, overcome obstacles, set goals, stay on track to reach their Dreams and build the qualities of Character, Courage, Contribution, and Commitment into their lives everyday. The RUDY AWARDS ^TM is about a child's heart, will to change, and desire for self-improvement. A few of Rudy's honors include:

Honorary Doctorate Degree from Our Lady of Holy Cross College
The key to numerous cities across the nation along with special proclamations for his inspiration, commitment and human spirit
Honorary assist to the Attorney General of Louisiana
Recognition from George W. Bush
Recognition from the House of Representatives in the state of Texas

NORA & Earth911 Explore Increasing DIY Collections

noemail@noranews.org — Thu, 21 May 2009 16:00:00 GMT

On May 21, 2009, NORA Executive Director Scott Parker with with Earth911's Sandra Keil, Vice President of Governmental Relations and Business Development. The two organizations share a common interest in increasing the collection of used oil from Do-It-Yourself (DIY) oil changers.

Each year, nearly 200 million gallons of used motor oil are dumped down the drain by the DIY oil changers. This is tragic considering just one gallon - the amount from a single oil change - can make a million gallons of fresh water undrinkable.

Earth911.com provides a searchable database of drop-off locations for items that should be recycled, including used oil. The site's database provideds users access to approximately 40,000 used oil drop off locations.

"NORA looks forward to further discussions with Earth911 regarding DIY oil collections," stated Parker. "We need to explore all methods to ensure that all used oil enters the nation's used oil management system. Every gallon of used motor oil should be responsibly recycled by first being collected and then processed by responsible recyclers, like those belonging to NORA."
