Waste Amendments to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, has 
been granted to Veolia for two Class I

hazardous waste injection wells located at their Port Arthur, 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 Veolia of the specific restricted hazardous 
wastes identified in this exemption reissuance request into Class I 
hazardous waste injection wells WDW-160 and WDW-358 until December 31, 
2041, unless the EPA moves to terminate this exemption. 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 August 8, 2019, and the public comment period closed on 
September 23, 2019, and no comments were received. This decision 
constitutes final Agency action and there is no Administrative appeal.

DATES: This action was effective as of October 2, 2019.

information relating thereto are on file at the following location:
