Injection; Veolia ES Technical Solutions, L.L.C., Port Arthur, TX

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of Final Decision on a No Migration Petition Reissuance.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

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 reissued to Veolia ES 
Technical Solutions, L.L.C., (Veolia) for two Class I injection wells 
located at Port Arthur, Texas. As required by 40 CFR Part 148, the 
company has adequately demonstrated to the satisfaction of the 
Environmental Protection Agency by the petition 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 Veolia, of the specific restricted hazardous 
wastes identified in this exemption, into Class I hazardous waste 
injection wells Nos. WDW-160 and WDW-358 at the Port Arthur, Texas 
facility, until November 30, 2018, unless EPA moves to terminate these 
exemptions 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 was issued January 17, 2008. The public comment 
period closed on March 3, 2008. 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 March 14, 2008.
