ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of final decision on petition modification.

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

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 AEESC, for the Class I injection wells located at Winona, 
Texas. As required by 40 Part CFR 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 exemption 
modification, into the Class I hazardous waste injection wells at the 
Winona, 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 June 12, 1996. The public 
comment period closed on July 29, 1996. This decision constitutes final 
Agency action and there is no Administrative appeal.

DATES: This action is effective as of August 30, 1996.
