Summary: EPA has environmental 

objections about the proposed project 

primarily related to the adequacy of the 

ecological connectivity options 

presented. EPA notes that no preferred 

alternative was selected and the most 

substantial environmental issues relate 

to the No Action Alternative and

Summary: EPA expressed concern 

about airspace management/ 

configuration/access around existing 

civilian airports in Georgia and ongoing 

coordination with the public regarding 

noise issues. Mitigation of some of the 

specific impacts can be accomplished 

via structuring the various training 

scenarios and modifying the proposed 

airspace to further avoid/minimize 

impacts around civilian airports.

Agency. 

ACTION: Notice of Final Decision on No 

Migration Petition Reissuance. 

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 Lyondell 

Industries, Inc. (Lyondell) for two Class 

I injection wells located at 

Channelview, Texas. As required by 40 

CFR Part 148, the company has 

adequately demonstrated to the 

satisfaction of the Environmental 

Protection Agency by the 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 continued 

underground injection by Lyondell, of 

the specific restricted hazardous wastes 

identified in the exemption, into Class 

I hazardous waste injection wells 

WDW–148 and WDW–162, until 

December 31, 2020, unless EPA moves 

to terminate the exemption under 

provisions of 40 CFR 148.24. Additional 

conditions included in this final 

decision may be reviewed by contacting 

the Region 6 Ground Water/UIC Section. 

As required by 40 CFR 148.22(b) and 

124.10, a public notice was issued 

August 18, 2005. The public comment 

period closed on October 3, 2005. No 

comments were received. This decision 

constitutes final Agency action. 

DATES: This action is effective as of 

October 28, 2005.
