Underground Injection Control Program; Hazardous Waste Injection 
Restrictions; Petition for Exemption Reissuance--Class I Hazardous 
Waste Injection; U. S. Ecology Texas (USET) Robstown, Texas

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of a final decision on a UIC no migration petition 
reissuance.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that a reissuance of 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 USET for two Class I hazardous waste injection wells 
located at their Robstown, Texas facility. The company has adequately 
demonstrated to the satisfaction of the EPA 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 USET of the specific 
restricted hazardous wastes identified in this exemption reissuance, 
into Class I hazardous waste injection wells WDW-278 and WDW-279 until 
December 31, 2030, unless the EPA moves to terminate this exemption or 
other petition condition limitations are reached. Additional conditions 
included in this final decision may be reviewed by contacting the EPA 
Region 6 Ground Water/UIC Section. A public notice was issued March 29, 
2018, and the public comment period closed on May 15, 2018, and 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 May 18, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the petition reissuance and all pertinent 
information relating thereto are on file at the following location:
