Underground Injection Control Program; Hazardous Waste Injection 
Restrictions; Petition for Exemption--Class I Hazardous Waste 
Injection; Onyx Environmental Services, L.L.C. (Onyx)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of final decision on exemption reissuance.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that reissuance 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 Onyx, for the Class I injection well located at Port Arthur, 
Texas. 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 continued underground injection by Onyx, of 
the specific restricted hazardous waste identified in the exemption 
reissuance, into the Class I hazardous waste injection well at the Port 
Arthur, Texas facility specifically identified in the reissued 
exemption until November 30, 2018, as long as the basis for granting an 
approval of this exemption remains valid, under provisions of 40 CFR 
148.24. If Onyx wishes to continue underground injection of restricted 
hazardous waste beyond November 30, 2018, a reissuance request must be 
submitted. As required by 40 CFR 148.22(b) and in accordance with the 
procedures in 40 CFR 124.10, a public notice was issued October 25, 
2004. The public comment period closed on December 10, 2004. EPA 
received no comments. This decision constitutes final Agency action and 
there is no Administrative appeal.

DATES: This action is effective as of December 17, 2004.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the petition for exemption reissuance and all 
pertinent information relating thereto are on file at the following 
location: Environmental Protection Agency, Region 6, Water Quality 
Protection Division, Source Water Protection Branch (6WQ-S), 1445 Ross
