Underground Injection Control Program; Hazardous Waste Injection 
Restrictions; Petition for Exemption Reissuance--Class I Hazardous 
Waste Injection; DuPont Pontchartrain, LaPlace, Louisiana

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of a final decision on a 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 DuPont for three Class I hazardous injection wells 
located at their Pontchartrain site located in LaPlace, Louisiana. 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 continued underground injection by DuPont, of the specific 
restricted hazardous wastes identified in this exemption reissuance, 
into Class I hazardous waste injection Wells 4, 7 and 8 until December 
31, 2050, 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 August 19, 2015, and the public comment period closed on October 
5, 2015. 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 October 22, 2015.

information relating thereto are on file at the following location:
