Underground Injection Control Program; Hazardous Waste Injection 
Restrictions; Petition for Exemption Reissuance--Class I Hazardous 
Waste Injection; Veolia ES Technical Solutions, LLC (Veolia) Port 
Arthur Facility

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of a final decision on a UIC 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 Veolia for a Class I hazardous waste injection well 
located at their Port Arthur, Texas facility. The company has 
adequately demonstrated to the satisfaction of the EPA 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 underground injection by 
Veolia of the specific restricted hazardous wastes identified in this 
exemption reissuance request, into Class I hazardous waste injection 
well WDW-160 until December 31, 2041, unless the EPA moves to terminate 
this exemption. Additional conditions included in this final decision 
may be reviewed by contacting the EPA Region 6 Ground Water/UIC 
Section. A public notice was issued September 11, 2018, and the public 
comment period closed on October 29, 2018, and no comments were 
received. This decision constitutes final Agency action and there is no 
Administrative appeal.

DATES: This action is effective as of November 19, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the petition reissuance and all pertinent 
information relating thereto are on file at the following location:
