ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[FRL-5256-1]


Underground Injection Control Program: Hazardous Waste Disposal 
Injection Restrictions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of final action to grant a case-by-case extension.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is granting final approval to Great Lakes Chemical 
Corporation (Great Lakes), in El Dorado, Arkansas for an additional 
case-by-case extension for specific injected wastes which were impacted 
by the August 8, 1990, ban date (California listed wastes, solvents 
less than one (1) percent solvent constituents and First Third wastes). 
This action responds to the petition submitted under 40 CFR 148.4 
according to procedures set out in 40 CFR 268.5, which allows any 
person to request that the Administrator grant, on a case-by-case 
basis, an extension of the applicable effective date based on a showing 
that the petitioner has entered into a binding contractual commitment 
to construct or otherwise provide adequate alternative treatment, 
recovery, or disposal capacity for the petitioner's waste. The Agency 
proposed action on this request in a May 24, 1995, Federal Register 
notice. See 55 FRL-5210-5212. By granting this approval, Great Lakes 
can inject the above identified wastes through September 30, 1995, but 
not later than this date without being subject to the prohibitions 
applicable to such wastes.

DATES: This Action is effective June 30, 1995.

ADDRESSES: The docket for this action is located at the EPA Region 6, 
1445 Ross Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75202, and is open during normal 
business hours, 8:00 a.m. through 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gus Chavarria, Acting Chief Water 
Supply Branch, EPA Region 6, 1445 Ross Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75202-2733 
or telephone (214) 655-7165.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is today approving of the application 
submitted by Great Lakes Chemical Corporation (Great Lakes), requesting 
an extension to the June 30, 1995, extended date of the RCRA land 
disposal restrictions (LDR) treatment standards applicable to 
wastewaters with the hazardous wastes codes K117, K118, K131, K132, and 
F039. To be granted such a request, the applicant must demonstrate, 
among other things, that there is insufficient capacity to manage its 
waste and has entered into a binding contractual commitment to 
construct or otherwise provide such capacity, but due to circumstances 
beyond its control, such capacity could not reasonably be made 
available by the effective date. Great Lakes adequately met these 
requirements and was granted an initial Case-By-Case Extension for one 
year effective June 30, 1994 to June 30, 1995, with the option to renew 
this extension for up to one additional year (see FR 5151-5153. Based 
on the Case-By-Case extension provisions and request by Great Lakes to 
extend the ban date, Great Lakes will be allowed, upon final approval 
to land dispose of its K117, K118, K131, K132, and F039 wastes upon 
final approval, until September 30, 1995, without being subject to the 
land disposal restrictions applicable to such wastes. Final Approval of 
this extension, will only be valid for injection into Well Nos. 5 and 
6.
    Effective Date: This approved extension of the LDR effective date 
becomes effective June 30, 1995.
