Underground Injection Control Program; Hazardous Waste Injection 
Restrictions; Petition for Exemption--Class I Hazardous Waste 
Injection; Disposal Systems Inc., (DSI)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency

ACTION: Notice of final decision on petition reissuance.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that modification 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 DSI, for the Class I injection wells 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 DSI, of the specific 
restricted hazardous waste identified in the exemption modification, 
into the Class I hazardous waste injection wells at the Deer Park, 
Texas facility specifically identified in the modified exemption, 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 May 8, 1996. The public comment period 
closed on June 24, 1996. EPA received no comments. This decision 
constitutes final Agency action and there is no Administrative appeal.

DATES: This action is effective as of July 3, 1996.
