Underground Injection Control

Program, Hazardous Waste Disposal

Injection Restrictions Petition for

Exemption—Class I Hazardous Waste

Injection Parke-Davis Division, WarnerLambert Company of Morris Plains, NJ,

Holland, MI Plant

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency.

ACTION: Notice of final decision on

petition.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given by the

United States Environmental Protection

Agency (USEPA) that an exemption to

the land disposal restrictions under the

1984 Hazardous and Solid Waste

Amendments (HSWA) to the Resource

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)

has been granted to Parke-Davis

Division, Warner-Lambert Company, of

Morris Plains, New Jersey, for its Class

I injection wells located in Holland,

Michigan. As required by 40 CFR Part

148, Parke-Davis has demonstrated,

with a reasonable degree of certainty,

that 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 continued underground

injection by Parke-Davis of the specific

restricted hazardous wastes identified

below exclusively into the Class I

hazardous waste injection wells at the

Holland facility specifically identified

as Wells Numbers 3, 4 and 5. This

decision constitutes final USEPA action

for which there is no Administrative

Appeal.

Background: Parke-Davis submitted a

petition for exemption from the land

disposal restrictions on hazardous waste

on June 10, 1991. USEPA personnel

reviewed all data pertaining to the

petition, including, but not limited to,

well construction, regional and local

geology, seismic activity, penetrations of

the confining zone and the computer

model. The USEPA has determined that

the geological setting at the site and the

construction and operation of the well

are adequate to prevent fluid migration

out of the injection zone within 10,000

years, as required under 40 CFR part

148. The zone which will contain the

hazardous constituents, the injection

zone, at this site is the Munising and

Trempeleau Formations between the

depths of 4452 and 6027 feet below

ground level. Injection is permitted into

the Mt. Simon Member of the Munising

Formation between the depths of 5080

and 6027 feet. The immediate confining

zone is the Prairie du Chien Group at a

depth between 3929 and 4452 feet. The

confining zone is separated from the

lowermost underground source of

drinking water (at a depth of 240 feet)

by a sequence of permeable and less

permeable sedimentary rocks, which

provide additional protection from fluid

migration into drinking water sources. A

fact sheet containing a more complete

summary of the of the final decision is

available from the USEPA Region 5

office.

A public notice was issued on March

2, 1998, pursuant to 40 CFR 124.10. A

public hearing was scheduled for April

1, 1998, in Holland, Michigan but was

canceled due to lack of public interest.

The public comment period ended on

April 1, 1998. No comments were

received.

Conditions: As a condition of this

exemption, Parke-Davis must meet the

following conditions:

(1) The monthly average injection rate

is limited to 100 gallons per minute per

well.

(2) Injection shall occur only into the

Mt. Simon Sandstone Member of the

Munising Formation between the depths

of 5080 and 6027 feet.

(3) Parke-Davis must be in full

compliance with all conditions of its

permits. Other conditions relating to the

exemption may be found in 40 CFR

148.23 and 148.24.

DATE: This action is effective as of April

6, 1998.
