Underground Injection Control Program; Hazardous Waste Injection
Restrictions; Petition for Exemption--Class I Hazardous Waste
Injection; Texas Ecologist, Inc., (TECO)
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of final decision on petition modification.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that modification 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 TECO, for the Class I injection well located at Robstown,
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 TECO, of the
specific restricted hazardous waste identified in the exemption
modification, into the Class I hazardous waste injection well at the
Robstown, Texas facility specifically identified in the modified
exemption, for as long as the basis for granting an approval of this
exemption remains valid, under provisions of 40 CFR 148.24. As required
by 40 CFR 124.10, a public notice was issued July 31, 1996, and closed
on September 16, 1996, and was reopened on October 10, 1996, a public
meeting and hearing was held on November 19, 1996 and the comment
period was closed on December 2, 1996. The comment period was again
reopened on February 5, 1997, and closed on March 24, 1997. All
comments have been addressed and have been considered in the final

Administrative appeal.
