Underground Injection Control Program; Hazardous Waste Injection 
Restrictions; Petition for Exemption--Class I Hazardous Waste Injection 
E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Company, Inc.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of final decision on a 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 E. I. du 
Pont de Nemours & Company, Inc. (DuPont) for Class I injection wells 
located at Orange, Texas. As required by 40 CFR part 148, the company 
has adequately demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Environmental 
Protection Agency by the petition reissuance 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 DuPont, of the specific restricted hazardous 
wastes identified in the exemption, into Class I hazardous waste 
injection wells No. WDW-54, WDW-55, WDW-191 and WDW-282 at the Orange, 
Texas facility, until December 31, 2020, 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 of the proposed decision was 
issued December 21, 2000. The public comment period closed on February 
5, 2001. No comments were received. This decision constitutes final 
Agency action.

DATES: This action was effective as of February 13, 2001.

relating thereto are on file at the following location: Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region 6, Water Quality Protection Division, Source
