Restrictions; Petition for Exemption--Class I Hazardous Waste
Injection; MERISOL USA LLC

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

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

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 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 MERISOL USA
LLC (Merisol) for a Class I injection well located at Houston, 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 Merisol, of the
specific restricted hazardous wastes identified in the exemption, into
a Class I hazardous waste injection well No. WDW-319 at the Houston,
Texas facility, until December 31, 2010, unless EPA moves to terminate
the exemption under provisions of 40 CFR 148.24. As required by 40 CFR
148.22(b) and 124.10, a public notice was issued October 30, 2000. The
public comment period closed on December 7, 2000. No comments were
received. This decision constitutes final Agency action and there is no
Administrative appeal.

DATES: This action is effective as of December 27, 2000.

relating thereto are on file at the following location: Environmental
