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 MERISOL USA 
LLC (Merisol) for a Class I injection well located at Houston, Texas. 
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 Merisol, of the 
specific restricted hazardous wastes identified in the exemption, into 
a Class I hazardous waste injection well No. WDW-319 at the Houston, 
Texas facility, until December 31, 2010, 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 October 30, 2000. The 
public comment period closed on December 7, 2000. No comments were 
received. This decision constitutes final Agency action and there is no 
Administrative appeal.

DATES: This action is effective as of December 27, 2000.
