ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[FRI-8193-9]


Underground Injection Control Program; Hazardous Waste Injection 
Restrictions; Petition for Exemption--Class I Hazardous Waste 
Injection; Merisol USA LLC

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

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 reissued to MERISOL USA 
LLC (MERISOL) for two Class I injection wells 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 continued underground 
injection by MERISOL, of the specific restricted hazardous wastes 
identified in the exemption, into Class I hazardous waste injection 
wells WDW-147 and WDW-319, until December 31, 2020, unless EPA moves to 
terminate the exemption under provisions of 40 CFR 148.24.
    Additional conditions included in this final decision may be 
reviewed by contacting the Region 6 Ground Water/UIC Section. As 
required by 40 CFR 148.22(b) and 124.10, a public notice was issued May 
8, 2006. The public comment period closed on June 22, 2006. One comment 
was received and a typographical error in the approval conditions was 
corrected. This decision constitutes final Agency action.

DATES: This action is effective as of June 28, 2006.

relating thereto are on file at the following location:
