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

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 DSICC, for the Class I injection well located at Corpus 
Christi, 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 
DSICC, of the specific restricted hazardous waste identified in the 
exemption modification, into the Class I hazardous waste injection well 
at the Corpus Christi, 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 14, 1996. The 
public comment period closed on June 28, 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.
