Underground Injection Control Program; Hazardous Waste Injection 
Restrictions; Petition for Exemption--Class I Hazardous Waste 
Injection; Cornerstone Chemical Company, Waggaman, LA

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of a final decision on a no migration petition 
reissuance.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that a 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 Cornerstone for four Class I injection wells located at 
Waggaman, Louisiana. The company has adequately demonstrated to the 
satisfaction of the Environmental Protection Agency by the petition 
reissuance application 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 Cornerstone, of the specific restricted hazardous wastes 
identified in this exemption, into Class I hazardous waste injection 
Wells 2, 3 4B and 5 at the Waggaman, Louisiana facility until June 30, 
2016, unless EPA moves to terminate this exemption. Additional 
conditions included in this final decision may be reviewed by 
contacting the Region 6 Ground Water/UIC Section. A public notice was 
issued June 28, 2012. The public comment period closed on August 13, 
2012, and 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 was effective as of August 20, 2012.

relating thereto are on file at the following location: Environmental
