SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that a reissuance of an exemption to 
the land disposal Restrictions, under the 1984 Hazardous and Solid 
Waste

[[Page 23247]]

Amendments to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, has been 
granted to BASF Corporation for three Class I injection wells located 
at Freeport, Texas. The company has adequately demonstrated to the 
satisfaction of the Environmental Protection Agency by the petition 
reissuance application 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 underground injection by 
BASF, of the specific restricted hazardous wastes identified in this 
exemption, into Class I hazardous waste injection wells WDW-51 and WDW-
99 and WDW-408 until December 31, 2028, unless EPA moves to terminate 
this exemption. Additional conditions included in this final decision 
may be reviewed by contacting the Region 6 Ground Water/UIC Section. A 
public notice was issued December 27, 2012. The public comment period 
closed on February 15, 2013. No comments were received. This decision 
constitutes final Agency action and there is no Administrative appeal. 
This decision may be reviewed/appealed in compliance with the 
Administrative Procedure Act.

DATES: This action is effective as of February 21, 2013.
