ACTION: Notice of a Final Decision on a No Migration Petition.

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

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 have been granted to ExxonMobil 
Environmental Services Company for a Class I injection well located at 
Pasadena, 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 ExxonMobil, of the specific restricted hazardous wastes identified 
in this exemption, into Class I hazardous waste injection well No. WDW-
397 at the Agrifos Pasadena Texas Fertilizer facility, Pasadena, Texas, 
until December 31, 2020, unless EPA moves to terminate this 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 November 25, 2008. The public comment period closed 
on January 9, 2009. No comments were received. This decision 
constitutes final Agency action and there is no Administrative appeal. 
This decision may be reviewed/appealed in compliance with the 
Administrative Procedure Act.

DATES: This action is effective as of January 15, 2009.
