Underground Injection Control Program; Hazardous Waste Injection 
Restrictions; Petition for Exemption Reissuance--Class I Hazardous 
Waste Injection; Equistar Corpus Christi, Texas

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 Equistar for two Class I hazardous waste injection 
wells located at their Corpus Christi, 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 
Equistar of the specific restricted hazardous wastes identified in this 
exemption reissuance, into Class I hazardous waste injection wells WDW-
152 and WDW-153 until December 31, 2045, unless the EPA moves to 
terminate this exemption or other petition condition limitations are 
reached. 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 February 26, 2018, and the public comment 
period closed on April 13, 2018, 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 April 20, 2018.

information relating thereto are on file at the following location:
