Underground Injection Control Program; Hazardous Waste Land 
Disposal Restrictions; Petition for Exemption--Class I Hazardous Waste 
Injection Well, Monsanto Chemical Company

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 Monsanto Chemical Company, for the Class I 
injection wells located at the Alvin, Texas facility. 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 Monsanto Chemical Company of the 
specific restricted hazardous waste identified in the petition for 
reissuance, into the Class I hazardous waste injection wells at the 
Alvin, 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 June 14, 1995. The public comment period 
ended on July 31, 1995. EPA received no comments. This decision 
constitutes final Agency action and there is no Administrative appeal.

DATES: This action is effective as of August 17, 1995.

information relating thereto are on file at the following location:
