therefore granted as proposed. 

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 Spent Pickle Liquor #1, Waste 

Ammonia Liquor #1 and Waste 

Ammonia Liquor #2 injection wells, 

located at the AMBH facility at 250 

West U.S. Highway 12, Burns Harbor, 

Indiana. 

(3) Injection is limited to that part of 

the Lower Mount Simon Sandstone at 

depths between 2,734 and 4,297 feet. 

(4) Only hazardous wastes denoted by 

the waste codes D010, D018, D038 and 

K062 may be injected. 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 .................................. 0 (minimum). 

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

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

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

Phenol ........................... 3,780 (maximum). 

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

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

(6) 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. 

(7) The volume of wastes injected in 

any month through the wells must not 

exceed 92,043,000 gal (for Spent Pickle 

Liquor #1) and 157,788,000 gal (for 

Waste Ammonia Liquor #1 and Waste 

Ammonia Liquor #2 combined). 

(8) This exemption is approved for the 

21-year modeled injection period, 

which ends on December 31, 2027. 

AMBH 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. 

(9) AMBH shall submit monthly 

reports to EPA containing a fluid 

analysis of the injected wastes which 

shall include the chemical and physical 

properties upon which the no-migration 

demonstration was based, including the 

physical and chemical properties listed 

in Conditions 5 and 6 of this exemption 

approval. 

(10) AMBH shall submit a report 

containing the results of a bottom hole 

pressure survey (fall-off test) performed 

on Spent Pickle Liquor No. 1, Waste 

Ammonia Liquor #1, or Waste Ammonia 

Liquor #2 to EPA annually. 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 nomigration petition. 

(11) The petitioner shall fully comply 

with all requirements set forth in 

Underground Injection Control Permits 

IN–127–1W–0001, IN–127–1W–0003, 

and IN–127–1W–0004 issued by the 

EPA; and 

(12) Whenever EPA determines that 

the basis for approval of a petition may 

no longer be valid, EPA may terminate 

this exemption and require a new 

demonstration in accordance with 40 

CFR 148.24.

Proposed Reissuance of General 

NPDES Permits (GP) for Alaskan 

Medium-Size Suction Dredging (Permit 

Number AKG–37–1000) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency, Region 10. 

ACTION: Proposed reissuance of a general 

permit. 

SUMMARY: On October 7, 2010, the 

general permit regulating the activities 

of suction dredge gold placer mining 

operations in the State of Alaska 

expired. EPA proposes to reissue this 

general permit with no changes. On 

October 31, 2008, EPA approved the 

application submitted by the State of 

Alaska to administer the NPDES 

Program. Under the State program, the 

Alaska Department of Environmental 

Conservation (ADEC) will be phasing in 

the program over a three year period 

with permit authority for different 

categories of discharges being 

transferred to the State on specific dates. 

Under this phased approach, authority 

to issue permits to the mining sector 

will transfer to Alaska on October 31, 

2010. According to the Memorandum of 

Agreement between EPA and ADEC, 

EPA will complete work on any project 

where substantial work has been 

initiated prior to the transfer dates, 

however, the State would issue any final 

permit after the transfer date. Due to the 

timing of the public notice of this 

permit, the final permit will be issued 

by the State of Alaska. 

DATES: Interested persons may submit 

comments on the proposed reissuance 

of the GP to EPA, Region 10 at the 

address below. Comments must be 

postmarked by December 9, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Comments on the proposed 

GP reissuance should be sent to the 

attention of the Director, Office of Water 

& Watersheds, EPA—Region 10, 1200 

Sixth Avenue, Suite 900, OWW–130, 

Seattle, WA 98101. Comments may also 

be submitted electronically to 

godsey.cindi@epa.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Copies of the proposed GP, Fact Sheet 

and other documents from the 

Administrative Record are available 

upon request. Requests may be made to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Executive Order 12866: The Office of 

Management and Budget has exempted 

this action from the review 

requirements of Executive Order 12866 

pursuant to Section 6 of that order. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act: Under the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), 5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq., a Federal agency 

must prepare an initial regulatory 

flexibility analysis ‘‘for any proposed 

rule’’ for which the agency ‘‘is required 

by section 553 of the Administrative 

Procedure Act (APA), or any other law, 

to publish general notice of proposed 

rulemaking.’’ The RFA exempts from 

this requirement any rule that the 

issuing agency certifies ‘‘will not, if 

promulgated, have a significant

concluded that NPDES general permits 

are permits, not rulemakings, under the 

APA and thus not subject to APA

Notwithstanding that general permits

determined that this GP, as reissued, 

will not have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities.
