and supporting documentation that, to a reasonable degree of certainty, 
there will be no migration of hazardous constituents from the injection

the specific restricted hazardous wastes identified in this exemption

notice comment period started on April 6, 2023, and closed on May 22,

sheet after the public comment period including naming the petition an 
issuance instead of a reissuance and clarifying portions of the geology 
section. A second comment period was started on September 7th, 2023,
