Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 44 / Friday, March 6, 2015 / Notices 12171 

existing exemption from the land 

disposal restrictions of hazardous waste 

to include the newly-drilled WAL #3 

well in July, 2013. EPA staff reviewed 

all data pertaining to the petition, 

including, but not limited to, well 

construction, well operations, regional 

and local geology, seismic activity, 

penetrations of the confining zone, and 

computational models of the injection 

zone. EPA has determined that the 

hydrogeological and geochemical 

conditions at the site and the nature of 

the waste streams are such that reliable 

predictions can be made that fluid 

movement conditions are such that 

injected fluids will not migrate out of 

the injection zone within 10,000 years, 

as set forth at 40 CFR part 148. The 

injection zone for the AMBH facility is 

composed of the lower Eau Claire 

Formation, the Mount Simon Sandstone 

and the upper portion of the 

Precambrian rocks, between 2170 and 

4286 feet below the surface. The 

confining zone at the AMBH facility is 

the upper Eau Claire Formation, which 

is found between 1936 and 2170 feet. 

The confining zone is separated from 

the lowermost underground source of 

drinking water (at a depth of 726 feet 

below ground level) by a sequence of 

permeable and less permeable 

sedimentary rocks. This sequence 

provides additional protection from 

fluid migration into drinking water 

sources. 

EPA issued a draft decision, which 

described the reasons for granting this 

exemption in more detail, a fact sheet, 

which summarized these reasons, and a 

public notice on November 14, 2014, 

pursuant to 40 CFR 124.10. The public 

comment period ended on December 16, 

2014. EPA received no comments but 

during the comment period, EPA 

realized that the volume limitation 

identified in section I.B was 

inadvertently shown as gallons per 

month instead of gallons per year. The 

same mistake was made in Condition 

#8. Therefore, EPA is issuing the final 

exemption with this condition corrected 

to be consistent with the language in the 

AMBH UIC permits. 

Conditions 

This exemption is subject to the 

following conditions. Non-compliance 

with any of these conditions is grounds 

for termination of the exemption: 

(1) All regulatory requirements in 40 

CFR 148.23 and 148.24 are incorporated 

by reference; 

(2) The exemption applies to the 

existing injection wells, Spent Pickle 

Liquor #1, Waste Ammonia Liquor #1, 

Waste Ammonia Liquor #2, and Waste 

Ammonia Liquor #3, located at the 

ArcelorMittal facility at 250 West U.S. 

Highway 12, Burns Harbor, Indiana; 

(3) Injection is limited to that part of 

the Lower Mount Simon Sandstone and 

the upper portion of the Precambrian 

rocks at depths between 2722 and 4286 

feet below ground level; 

(4) Hazardous wastes denoted by the 

waste codes D010, D018, and D038 may 

only be injected into Waste Ammonia 

Liquor #1, Waste Ammonia Liquor #2, 

and Waste Ammonia Liquor #3. 

Hazardous waste denoted by waste code 

K062 may only be injected into Spent 

Pickle Liquor #1. Other fluids necessary 

for well testing, stimulation, etc. may be 

injected when approved by EPA; 

(5) The chemical properties of the 

injectate that will be monitored are 

limited according to the table below: 

Chemical constituent 

or property 

Concentration limitation at the well head 

(mg/L) 

Benzene .................... 220 (maximum). 

pH ............................. Minimum pH is zero. 

Chromium ................. 133 (maximum). 

Naphthalene ............. 260 (maximum). 

Nickel ........................ 50 (maximum). 

Phenol ....................... 3780 (maximum). 

Pyridine ..................... 116 (maximum). 

Selenium ................... 5 (maximum). 

(6) The annual average of the specific 

gravity of the injected spent pickle 

liquor must be no greater than 1.31; the 

annual average of the specific gravity of 

the waste ammonia liquor must be no 

less than 0.99; 

(7) The chemical properties of the 

injectate that defined the edge of the 

plume in the demonstration are benzene 

for waste ammonia liquor and pH for 

the spent pickle liquor; 

(8) The monthly average injection rate 

for SPL must not exceed 175 gallons per 

minute and the monthly average 

injection rate for WAL must not exceed 

300 gallons per minute, plant-wide, 

cumulatively covering all WAL 

injection wells. 

(9) This exemption is approved for the 

21-year modeled injection period, 

which ends on December 31, 2027. 

ArcelorMittal may petition EPA for a 

reissuance of the exemption beyond that 

date, provided that a new and complete 

no-migration petition is received at 

EPA, Region 5, by July 1, 2027; 

(10) ArcelorMittal shall submit 

monthly reports to EPA containing a 

fluid analysis of the injected waste 

which shall indicate the chemical and 

physical properties upon which the nomigration demonstration was based, 

including the physical and chemical 

properties listed in Conditions 5 and 6 

of this exemption approval; 

(11) ArcelorMittal shall submit an 

annual report containing the results of 

a bottom hole pressure survey (fall-off 

test) performed on Spent Pickle Liquor 

#1, Waste Ammonia Liquor #1, Waste 

Ammonia Liquor #2, or Waste Ammonia 

Liquor #3 to EPA. The survey shall be 

performed after shutting in the well for 

a period of time sufficient to allow the 

pressure in the injection interval to 

reach equilibrium, in accordance with 

40 CFR 146.68(e)(1). The annual report 

shall include a comparison of reservoir 

parameters determined from the fall-off 

test with parameters used in the 

approved no-migration demonstration; 

(12) The petitioner shall fully comply 

with all requirements set forth in 

Underground Injection Control Permits 

IN–127–1W–0001, IN–127–1W–0003, 

IN–127–1W–0004, and IN–127–1W– 

0007 issued by the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency; and 

(13) Whenever EPA determines that 

the basis for approval of a petition may 

no longer be valid, EPA may terminate 

this exemption and may require a new 

demonstration in accordance with 40 

CFR 148.20.

must be submitted for inclusion in the 

public docket. Information so marked 

will not be disclosed except in 

accordance with procedures set forth in 

40 CFR part 2. 

2. Tips for preparing your comments. 

When preparing and submitting your 

comments, see the commenting tips at 

http://www.epa.gov/dockets/

comments.html. 

II. What action is the Agency taking? 

EPA is issuing a document, ‘‘Changes 

to the Standard to Implement the Safer 

Choice Label’’ (https://wcms.epa.gov/

sites/production/files/2015-02/

documents/safer-choice-standardchanges.pdf), that implements a new 

label and name for the DfE Safer 

Product Labeling Program, namely, the 

EPA ‘‘Safer Choice’’ Program. The new 

label is available for immediate use to 

program partners. The Agency is also 

making new-label-related changes to the 

program’s standard that qualifies 

products for participation in the 

program. Finally, EPA is issuing a new, 

optional fragrance-free certification. The 

program has redesigned its label for 

several reasons: To better communicate 

the program’s human health and 

environmental protection goals, increase 

consumer and institutional/industrial 

purchaser understanding and 

recognition of products bearing the 

label, and encourage innovation and the 

development of safer chemicals and 

chemical-based products. While 

effective immediately, the Agency is 

requesting comment on the changes that 

are described in the referenced 

document (EPA–HQ–OPPT–2015– 

0047), including the fragrance-free 

certification, and may make further 

programmatic changes based on the 

comments received. Please note that the 

Agency has received extensive public 

input on the logo designs and is not 

requesting further comment on them.
