SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that exemptions to the land disposal 
restrictions under the 1984 Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments to the 
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act have been granted to Solutia, 
Inc, Chocolate Bayou Facility (Solutia) for two Class I injection wells 
located at Alvin, Texas. As required by 40 CFR Part 148, the company

remains hazardous. These final decisions allow the underground 
injection by Solutia, of the specific restricted hazardous wastes 
identified in these exemptions, into Class I hazardous waste injection 
wells Nos. WDW-224 and WDW-326 at the Chocolate Bayou, Alvin, Texas 
facility, until December 31, 2026, unless EPA moves to terminate these 
exemptions under provisions of 40 CFR 148.24. Additional conditions 
included in these final decisions 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 was issued June 5, 2008. The public comment 
period closed on July 21, 2008. No comments were received. These 
decisions constitute final Agency action and there is no Administrative
