Injection Restriction Petition for Exemption--Class I Nonhazardous 
Waste Injection Has Been Granted to Abbott Laboratories, Wichita, 
Kansas

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of final decision.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 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 Abbott 
Laboratories for their Class I Nonhazardous Waste injection well 
located in Wichita, Kansas. This final decision allows the underground 
injection by Abbott Laboratories of the specific restricted waste, 
identified in the petition, into the Class I waste injection well at 
the Wichita, Kansas, facility, for as long as the basis for granting an 
approval of the petition remains valid, under provisions of Title 40 
Code of Federal Regulations Part 124. As required by Title 40 Code of 
Federal Regulations Part 148, the company has adequately demonstrated 
to the satisfaction of the United States Environmental Protection 
Agency by petition and supporting documentation that, to a reasonable 
degree of certainty, there will be no migration of the restricted, 
greater than 10 percent high total organic carbon (TOC) constituents 
from the injection zone. A public notice was published on July 22, 
1996, that requested written comments be submitted by August 22, 1996. 
No comments were received during the comment period. This decision 
constitutes final Agency action. There is no administrative appeal 
process that can be applied to a final petition decision.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This action is effective as of September 12, 1996.

relating thereto, including the Agency's response to comments, are on
