Underground Injection Control Program; Hazardous Waste Injection 
Restrictions; Petition for Exemption--Class I Hazardous Waste 
Injection; CECOS International, Inc. (CECOS)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

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 CECOS, for the Class I injection well located at Sulphur, 
Louisiana. 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 CECOS, of the 
specific restricted hazardous waste identified in the exemption 
modification, into the Class I hazardous waste injection well at the 
Sulphur, Louisiana 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 document was issued July 31, 1997, and 
closed on September 15, 1997. No comments were received. This decision 
constitutes final Agency action and there is no Administrative appeal.

DATES: This action is effective as of October 28,1997.
