Underground Injection Control Program Hazardous Waste Injection 
Restrictions; Petition for Exemption--Class I Hazardous Waste Injection 
Rubicon, Inc.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of final decision on no migration petition reissuance.

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

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 Rubicon 
Inc., (Rubicon) for four Class I injection wells located at Geismar, 
Louisiana. As required by 40 CFR part 148, the company has adequately 
demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Environmental Protection Agency 
by the 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 
Rubicon, of the specific restricted hazardous wastes identified in the 
exemption, into four Class I hazardous waste injection well nos. 1, 2, 
3, and 4 at the Geismar, Louisiana facility, until December 31, 2025, 
unless EPA moves to terminate the exemption under provisions of 40 CFR 
148.24. As required by 40 CFR 148.22(b) and 124.10, a public notice was 
issued May 20, 1999. The public comment period closed on July 7, 1999. 
No comments were received. This decision constitutes final Agency 
action and there is no Administrative appeal.

DATES: This action is effective as of July 26, 1999.
