Restrictions; Petition for Exemption--Class I Hazardous Waste Injection 
Rubicon, LLC

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of a 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 Rubicon, 
LLC, (Rubicon) for four Class I injection wells located at Geismar, 
Louisiana. 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 
Rubicon of the specific restricted hazardous wastes identified in this 
exemption into Class I hazardous waste injection wells Nos. 1, 3, 4 and 
5 at the Geismar, Louisiana facility, until December 31, 2025, 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 on 
December 23, 2008. The public comment period closed on February 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 February 18, 2009.
