Underground Injection Control Program: Class I Non-Hazardous 
Waste Disposal Injection Restrictions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of intent to grant a case-by-case extension.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is granting the request 
from Abbott Laboratories, Wichita, Kansas, for a case-by-case extension 
of the RCRA land disposal restriction (LDR) treatment standards 
applicable to total organic carbon (TOC), EPA Hazard Code D001. This 
final decision provides for a one year extension period beginning 
September 19, 1995, and allows Abbott to continue injecting its 
wastestream into their Underground Injection Control (UIC) Class I 
injection well until September 19, 1996. This extension is granted 
under the provisions found in 40 CFR 148.4. This extension will allow 
the Environmental Protection Agency to complete the review of Abbott's 
No-Migration Petition application. The basis for approval includes the 
following demonstrations:
    40 CFR 268.5(a)(1)  Abbott Laboratories has made a good-faith 
effort on a nationwide basis to locate and contract for adequate 
alternative treatment, recovery, or disposal capacity, or establish 
such capacity by the effective date of the applicable restrictions.
    40 CFR 268.5(a)(2)  Abbott Laboratories has entered into a binding 
contractual commitment to provide alternative treatment, recovery, or 
disposal capacity.
    40 CFR 268.5(a)(3)  Abbott Laboratories has shown the lack of 
alternative capacity is beyond its control.
    40 CFR 268.5(a)(4)  Abbott Laboratories has shown that there will 
be adequate alternative treatment, recovery, or disposal capacity for 
all waste after the effective date established by the extension.
    40 CFR 268.5(a)(5)  Abbott Laboratories has provided a detailed 
schedule for obtaining alternative capacity including dates.
    40 CFR 268.5(a)(6)  Abbott Laboratories has arranged for adequate 
capacity to manage waste during the extension period.
    40 CFR 268.5(a)(7)  No surface impoundments or landfills will be 
used by Abbott Laboratories to manage the waste during the extension 
period.
    This case-by-case extension is only for the waste code impacted by 
the September 19, 1994 Land Disposal Restrictions, Phase II and is 
valid for as long as the basis for granting an extension remains valid, 
under provisions of 40 CFR Part 124.
