The term "oil" as used in the Oil Pollution Regulations refers to a broad range of petroleum-based substances, including fuel oil, oil refuse, and sludge. The regulations define "oil" to encompass any kind of oil product, such as petroleum, fuel oil, sludge, oil refuse, and oil mixed with wastes. This comprehensive definition ensures the regulations cover the various forms of oil that can potentially cause pollution and environmental damage if discharged into the water.
