Underground Injection Control 

Program Petition for Exemption From 

Hazardous Waste Disposal 

Restrictions to the Resource 

Conservation and Recovery Act Class 

I Hazardous Waste Injection Occidental 

Chemical Corporation, Wichita, KS 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of final decision on 

petition. 

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 Occidental 

Chemical Corporation (Occidental) for a 

Class I injection well, identified as Well 

Number 10, located at Wichita, Kansas. 

This injection well, is being added to an 

existing group of five hazardous waste 

injection wells which EPA had 

approved in 1990. As required by title 

40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 

part 148, Occidental 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 

waste out of the designated injection 

zone for as long as the waste remains 

hazardous. This time frame is defined 

by 40 CFR 148.20 as 10,000 years. This 

final decision allows the underground 

injection by Occidental of the specific 

restricted waste, identified in the 

petition, into injection well Number 10 

at the Wichita, Kansas facility, for as 

long as the basis for granting an 

approval of the petition remains valid, 

under provisions of 40 CFR 148.24. For 

the purpose of the required 

demonstration of no-migration of 

hazardous waste out of the injection 

zone over a 10,000 year period, 

modeling and projections were based on 

an operational lifetime projection date 

of December 31, 2020. Therefore, on or 

by the closing date of the 

aforementioned operation period, the 

owner/operator will be required to 

obtain an exemption re-issuance from 

EPA. Included in this approval is the 

stipulation that Occidental acquires and 

continues to maintain an approved 

permit from the Kansas Department of 

Health and Environment. As required by 

40 CFR 124.10, a public notice was 

issued on February 26, 2007. In addition 

to having solicited written comments 

regarding the Agency’s proposed 

approval, EPA also announced that a 

formal public hearing would be held if 

there was a significant degree of public 

interest, but no interest was expressed, 

hence no formal public hearing was 

conducted; however, EPA held an 

informal Public Availability Session on 

March 13, 2007, at the Sedgwick County 

Extension Office in Wichita, Kansas, in 

order to provide the public with an 

opportunity to meet with Federal, State, 

and company officials and ask questions 

regarding the petition. The public 

comment period ended on April 11, 

2007. All comments were addressed and 

considered in the final decision. This 

decision constitutes final Agency action 

and there is no administrative appeal 

process that can be applied to a final 

petition decision. 

DATES: Effective Date: This action is 

effective as of May 2, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the petition and 

all pertinent information relating 

thereto, including the Agency’s 

response to comments, are on file at the 

following location: Environmental 

Protection Agency, Region 7, Regional 

Records Center, 901 N. 5th St., Kansas 

City, KS 66101.
