    (a) This part identifies wastes that are restricted from disposal 
into Class I wells and defines those circumstances under which a waste, 
otherwise prohibited from injection, may be injected.
    (b) The requirements of this part apply to owners or operators of 
Class I hazardous waste injection wells used to inject hazardous waste.
    (c) Wastes otherwise prohibited from injection may continue to be 
injected:
    (1) If an extension from the effective date of a prohibition has 
been granted pursuant to Sec. 148.4 with respect to such wastes; or
    (2) If an exemption from a prohibition has been granted in response 
to a petition filed under Sec. 148.20 to allow injection of restricted 
wastes with respect to those wastes and wells covered by the exemption; 
or
    (3) If the waste is generated by a conditionally exempt small 
quantity generator, as defined in Sec. 261.5; or
    (d) Wastes that are hazardous only because they exhibit a hazardous 
characteristic, and which are otherwise prohibited under this part, or 
part 268 of this chapter, are not prohibited if the wastes:
    (1) Are disposed into a nonhazardous or hazardous injection well as 
defined under 40 CFR Sec. 146.6(a); and
    (2) Do not exhibit any prohibited characteristic of hazardous waste 
identified in 40 CFR part 261, subpart C at the point of injection.
