Underground Injection Control Program; Hazardous Waste Injection 
Restrictions; Petition for Exemption--Class I Hazardous Waste 
Injection; Merichem Company

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of Final Decision on Petition.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 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 Merichem 
Company, for the Class I injection well located at Houston, 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 Merichem Company, to inject specific restricted hazardous wastes 
identified in the exemption, into the Class I hazardous waste injection 
well at the Houston, Texas facility, 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 October 6, 1994. The public comment period ended on November 21, 
1994. No comments were received. This decision constitutes final Agency 
action and there is no Administrative appeal.

DATES: This action is effective as of December 2, 1994.
