Underground Injection Control Program--Hazardous Waste Disposal 
Injection Restrictions; Petition for Exemption--Class I Hazardous Waste 
Injection; EMPAK, Inc.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of final decision on exemption reissuance.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that a request 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 EMPAK, Inc., for the Class I injection well 
located at Deer Park, 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 EMPAK, Inc., of the specific restricted 
hazardous waste identified in the reissued petition, into the Class I 
hazardous waste injection well at the Deer Park, 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 on July 27, 1994. The public comment period ended on September 
12, 1994. EPA received no comments. This decision constitutes final 
Agency action and there is no Administrative appeal.

DATES: This action is effective as of September 22, 1994.

information relating thereto are on file at the following location:
