Underground Injection Control Program; Hazardous Waste Injection 
Restrictions; Petition for Exemption--Class I Hazardous Waste 
Injection; Amoco Petroleum Products

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

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

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 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 Amoco 
Petroleum Products (Amoco) for three Class I injection wells located at 
Texas City, Texas. As required by 40 CFR Part 148, the company has 
adequately demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Environmental 
Protection Agency by the petition 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 Amoco, of the specific restricted hazardous wastes identified in the 
exemption, into three Class I hazardous waste injection wells Nos. WDW-
80, WDW-127, and WDW-128 at the Texas City, Texas facility, until 
December 31, 2010, unless EPA moves to terminate the exemption under 
provisions of 40 CFR 148.24. As required by 40 CFR 148.22(b) and 
124.10, a public notice was issued May 24, 2000. The public comment 
period closed on July 10, 2000. No comments were received. This 
decision constitutes final Agency action and there is no Administrative 
appeal.

DATES: This action is effective as of July 25, 2000.

relating thereto are on file at the following location: Environmental
