Underground Injection Control Program; Hazardous Waste Injection 
Restrictions; Petition for Exemption--Class I Hazardous Waste 
Injection; Ticona Polymers, 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 Ticona 
Polymers, Inc. (Ticona) for three Class I injection wells located at 
Bishop, 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 Ticona, of the specific restricted hazardous wastes identified in 
the exemption, into Class I hazardous waste injection wells Nos. WDW-
210, WDW-211, and WDW-212 at the Bishop, Texas facility, until December 
31, 2020. As required by 40 CFR 148.22(b) and 124.10, a public notice 
of the proposed no migration exemption decision was issued June 28, 
2001. The public comment period began on June 28, 2001 and closed on 
August 13, 2001. No comments were received. This decision constitutes 
final Agency action and there is no Administrative appeal. This 
decision may be judicially reviewed under the Federal Administrative 
Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 704.

DATES: This action is effective as of August 28, 2001.

relating thereto are on file at the following location: Environmental
