Underground Injection Control Program; Hazardous Waste Disposal 
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.

information relating thereto are on file at the following location:
