Underground Injection Control Program; Hazardous Waste Injection 
Restrictions; Petition for Exemption--Class I Hazardous Waste 
Injection; Great Lakes Chemical Corporation

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of final decision on injection well no migration 
petition.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 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 Great Lakes 
Chemical Corporation (GLCC), for two Class I injection wells located at 
El Dorado, Arkansas. As required by 40 CFR part 148, the company has 
adequately demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Environmental 
Protection Agency by petition and supporting documentation that, to a 
reasonable degree of certainty, there will be no migration of hazardous 
constituents from the injection zone for as long as the waste remains 
hazardous. This final decision allows the underground injection by 
GLCC, of the specific restricted hazardous wastes identified in the 
exemption, into two Class I hazardous waste injection wells (WDW-5 and 
WDW-6) at the El Dorado, Arkansas facility, until July 1, 2005, unless 
EPA moves to terminate the exemption under provisions of 40 CFR 148.24. 
As required by 40 CFR 148.22(b) and 124.10, a public notice was issued 
March 6, 1998. The public comment period closed on April 20, 1998. No 
comments were received. This decision constitutes final Agency action 
and there is no Administrative appeal.

DATES: This action is effective as of May 13, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the petition and all pertinent information 
relating thereto
