Underground Injection Control Program; Hazardous Waste Injection 
Restrictions; Petition for Exemption--Class I Hazardous Waste 
Injection; Blanchard Refining Company LLC Galveston Bay Refinery, Texas 
City, Texas (Formerly BP Products North America Inc.--Texas City 
Business Unit)

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 Blanchard Refining Company LLC (Blanchard) Galveston 
Bay Refinery for three existing Class I injection wells located at 
Texas City, Texas. 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 Blanchard of the specific restricted hazardous wastes 
identified in this exemption into Class I hazardous waste injection 
wells Nos. WDW-80, 127, and 128 at the Galveston Bay Refinery facility, 
until December 31, 2020, 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 comment 
period for the proposed approval of this reissuance was May 7, 2013, 
through June 24, 2013, 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 is effective as of July 2, 2013.

information relating thereto are on file at the following location:
