ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[FRL-5445-6]


Underground Injection Control Program Hazardous Waste Land 
Disposal Restrictions; Petition for Exemption--Class I Hazardous Waste 
Injection Well, American Ecology Environmental Services Corporation 
(AEESC)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of Final Decision on Exemption Modification.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that a petition for modification to 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 AEESC, for the Class I injection wells located 
at the Winona, 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 AEESC of the specific restricted hazardous 
waste identified in the petition modification, into the Class I 
hazardous waste injection wells at the Winona, 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 May 17, 1995. The public comment period ended on July 7, 
1995, was re-opened on August 10, 1995 and closed on September 8, 1995. 
This decision constitutes final Agency action and there is no 
Administrative appeal.

DATES: This action is effective as of March 14, 1996.

information relating thereto are on file at the following location:
