ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

AGENCY

[FRL–5887–5]

Notice of Final Decision To Grant

Pharmacia and Upjohn a Modification

of an Exemption From the Land

Disposal Restrictions of the Hazardous

and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984

Regarding Injection of Hazardous

Wastes

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency.

ACTION: Notice of final decision on a

request to modify an exemption from

the hazardous and solid waste

amendments of the Resource

Conservation and Recovery Act.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given by the

United States Environmental Protection

Agency (USEPA or Agency) that

modification of an exemption to the

land disposal restrictions under the

1984 Hazardous and Solid Waste

Amendments to the Resource

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)

has been granted to Pharmacia and

Upjohn of Kalamazoo, Michigan. This

modification allows Pharmacia and

Upjohn to inject four (4) RCRAregulated hazardous wastes which will

be banned from land disposal on April

8, 1998, as a result of regulations

promulgated on April 8, 1996, into two

Class I injection wells at the Kalamazoo,

Michigan, facility. The modification

also increases the combined maximum

injection volume for the two wells to 30

million gallons per year, as well as

changing the name to Pharmacia and

Upjohn. As required by 40 CFR part

148, Pharmacia and Upjohn has

demonstrated, to a reasonable degree of

certainty, that there will be no migration

of hazardous constituents from the

injection zone utilized by Pharmacia

and Upjohn’s waste disposal facility

located near Kalamazoo, Michigan, for

as long as the newly exempted waste

remains hazardous. This decision

constitutes a final Agency action for

which there is no administrative appeal.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pharmacia

and Upjohn submitted a petition for an

exemption from the restrictions on land

disposal of hazardous wastes on

February 22, 1988. Revised documents

were received on September 21, 1988,

and May 24, 1989 and several

supplemental submittals were

subsequently made. The exemption was

granted on February 27, 1990.

On April 29, 1996, in their permit

reapplications for Well #3 and #4 and in

response to the Land Disposal

Restrictions Rule published in the

Federal Register at 61 FR 15566 et seq.

on April 8, 1996, which set ban dates for

a number of hazardous waste codes,

Pharmacia and Upjohn submitted a

request to add a total of four (4)

additional RCRA waste codes to its

exemption. These codes (D022, D028,

D035, and D038) are banned by the

April 8, 1996, rule. The newlypromulgated rule bans codes D022,

D028, D035, and D038 from deep

injection after April 8, 1998, unless

Pharmacia and Upjohn makes a nomigration demonstration. Pharmacia

and Upjohn made a no-migration

demonstration in 1990. After careful

review of the material submitted, the

USEPA has determined, as required by

40 CFR part 148.20(f), that there is a

reasonable degree of certainty that waste

streams containing constituents

designated by these codes will behave

hydraulically and chemically like

wastes for which Pharmacia and Upjohn

was granted its original exemption and

will not migrate from the injection zone

within 10,000 years. The injection zone

is the Munising Formation. The

confining zone is comprised of the

Trempealeau Dolomite.

The petition exemption is also

modified to change the name of the

company to Pharmacia and Upjohn, to

reflect the change in corporate

ownership. All requirements and

responsibilites remain in effect under

this exemption approval.

Conditions: General conditions of this

exemption are found at 40 CFR part 148.

The exemption granted to Pharmacia

and Upjohn on February 27, 1990,

included a number of specific

conditions. Conditions numbered (2)

and (3) remain in force. Condition (1) is

modified to increase the combined

maximum injection volume into both

Wells #3 and #4 to 30 million gallons a

year. This increase in waste injectate

volume requires that the model be

reviewed in 2014 rather than 2018, to

meet the modelled total lifetime

injection volume.

Changes: The company name for the

exemption approval is now Pharmacia

and Upjohn. The waste codes approved

under this exemption approval are:

F001, F002, F003, F005, D001, D007,

D022, D028, D035, and D038. The

conditions of the exemption approval

are:

(1) The combined annual injection

volume for Well Numbers 3 and 4 must

not exceed 30 million gallons

(2) The injection zone shall be limited

to the Munising Formation; and

(3) Injection shall only occur into the

Mt. Simon Member and into that

portion of the Eau Claire Member which

is below 4750 feet.

DATES: This action is effective as of

September 8, 1997.
