ACTION:

Notice of a final decision on a no migration petition reissuance.

SUMMARY:

Notice is hereby given that a reissuance of an exemption to the land disposal Restrictions, under the 1984 Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, has been granted to Lucite International, Inc. for two Class I hazardous injection wells located at their Beaumont site located in Nederland, TX.

This final decision allows the continued underground injection by Lucite, of the specific restricted hazardous wastes identified in this exemption reissuance, into Class I hazardous waste injection wells WDW-100 & 101 until December 31, 2030, unless EPA moves to terminate this exemption.
