[[Page 35872]]

Conservation and Recovery Act, is granted to Dow Beaumont Texas 
Operations for two Class I hazardous waste injection wells at the Dow 
Beaumont Aniline Plant located in Nederland, Texas.

DATES: This action was effective as of May 9, 2023.

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

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lauren Ray, Physical Scientist, Ground 
Water/UIC Section, EPA--Region 6, telephone (214) 665-2756.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As required by 40 CFR part 148, Dow 
adequately demonstrated to 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 the Dow Beaumont 
Aniline Plant, of the specific restricted hazardous wastes identified 
in this exemption reissuance, into Class I hazardous waste injection 
Wells WDW-188 and WDW-391 until December 31, 2040, unless EPA 
terminates this exemption under provisions of 40 CFR 148.24. Additional 
conditions included in this final decision may be reviewed by 
contacting the Region 6 Ground Water/UIC Section. As required by 40 CFR 
148.22(b) and 124.10, a public notice comment period started on January 
26, 2023, and closed on March 13, 2023. No comments were received. EPA 
made inconsequential edits to the fact sheet after the public comment 
period. This decision constitutes final Agency action, and there is no 
Administrative appeal.

    Dated: May 25, 2023.

Director, Water Division, Region 6.
