SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 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 ARCO Chemicals, for the Class I injection wells located at 
Channelview, 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 ARCO 
Chemicals, of the specific restricted hazardous waste identified in the 
exemption reissuance, into the Class I hazardous waste injection wells 
at the Channelview, Texas facility specifically identified in the 
reissued 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 November 24, 
1993. The public comment period ended on January 10, 1994, was reopened 
January 26, 1994 and closed on March 18, 1994. All comments have been 
addressed and have been considered in the final decision. This decision 
constitutes final Agency action and there is no Administrative appeal.
