Underground Injection Control Program; Hazardous Waste Injection 
Restrictions; Petition for Exemption Reissuance--Class I Hazardous 
Waste Injection; Blanchard Refining Company LLC (Blanchard) Texas City, 
Texas 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 Blanchard for three Class I hazardous waste injection 
wells located at their Texas City, Texas facility. The company has 
adequately demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Environmental 
Protection Agency (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 Blanchard of the specific 
restricted hazardous wastes identified in this exemption reissuance 
request, into Class I hazardous waste injection wells WDW-80, 127 and 
128 until December 31, 2037, 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. The 
public comment period for this decision was from 9/30-11/15/19 and no 
comments were received. This decision constitutes final Agency action 
and there is no Administrative appeal.

DATES: This action is effective as of December 3, 2019.

information relating thereto are on file at the following location:
