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 Innophos of the specific restricted 
hazardous wastes identified in this exemption request, into Class I 
hazardous waste injection wells DW#1 and DW#2 until July 12, 2048, 
unless
