Injection Restrictions; Petition for Exemption--Class I Hazardous Waste
Injection; Sterling Chemicals
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of Final Decision on Exemption Reissuance.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that a Petition for 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 Sterling Chemicals, for the Class I injection
wells located at Texas City, Texas. 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 Sterling Chemicals of the specific restricted
hazardous waste identified in the petition for reissuance, into the
Class I hazardous waste injection wells at the Texas City, Texas
facility specifically identified in the petition for as long as the
basis for granting an approval of this petition remains valid, under
provisions of 40 CFR 148.24. As required by 40 CFR 124.10, a public
notice was issued March 15, 1994. The public comment period ended on
April 29, 1994. EPA received no comments. This decision constitutes
final Agency action and there is no Administrative appeal.
DATES: This action is effective as of May 13, 1994.
