Underground Injection Control Program Hazardous Waste Land 
Disposal Restrictions; Petition for Reissuance of an Exemption--Class I 
Hazardous Waste Injection Wells, E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., Inc. 
(DuPont)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of final decision on the exemption reissuance.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that a petition for the reissuance of 
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 DuPont, for the Class I injection wells located 
at the Victoria, Texas facility. As required by 40 CFR part 148, the 
company has adequately demonstrated to the satisfaction of the 
Environmental Protection Agency by 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 DuPont, of the specific restricted hazardous 
waste identified in the petition, into the Class I hazardous waste 
injection wells at the Victoria, Texas facility until December 31, 
2000, 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 on December 1, 1997. The public comment period closed 
on January 15, 1998. All comments have been addressed and have been 
considered in the final decision. This decision constitutes final 
Agency action and there is no Administrative appeal.

DATES: This action is effective as of February 11, 1998.

information relating thereto (including EPA's response to public 
comments on the exemption reissuance proposal) are on file at the
