Underground Injection Control Program; Hazardous Waste Disposal 
Injection Restrictions; Petition for Exemption--Class I Hazardous Waste 
Injection; E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Company, Inc.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of Final Decision on Injection Well No Migration 
Petition.

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

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 E. I. du 
Pont de Nemours & Company, Inc. (Dupont), for five Class I injection 
wells located at Dupont's White Pigment and Mineral Products DeLisle 
Plant in DeLisle, Mississippi. As required by 40 CFR Part 148, the 
company has adequately demonstrated to the satisfaction of the 
Environmental Protection Agency by 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 Dupont, of the specific restricted hazardous 
wastes identified in the exemption, into five Class I hazardous waste 
injection wells (Plant Wells 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) at the DeLisle, 
Mississippi facility, until December 31, 2020, 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 February 29, 
2000. A public hearing was held March 30, 2000 at the DeLisle 
Elementary School. The public comment period closed on April 13, 2000. 
No comments were received at the public hearing and the only comment 
letter received prior to the close of the comment period was from 
Dupont. These comments were not of a significant nature and EPA has 
determined that its reasons for granting the exemption as set forth in 
the proposed decision remain valid. This

decision constitutes final Agency action and there is no Administrative 
appeal.

DATES: This action is effective as of May 5, 2000.
