                Underground Injection Control Program; Hazardous Waste Injection
                Restrictions; Petition for Exemption Reissuance--Class I Hazardous
                Waste Injection; ExxonMobil Corporation Pasadena, Texas Facility
                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 ExxonMobil for two Class I hazardous waste injection
                wells located at their Pasadena, Texas facility. The company has
                adequately demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Environmental
                Protection Agency (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 ExxonMobil of the specific
                restricted hazardous wastes identified in this exemption reissuance
                request, into Class I hazardous waste injection wells WDW-397 and 398
                until December 31, 2040, 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. There
                were two public comment periods for this decision because the newspaper
                failed to publish the first notice. They were 6/12-7/29/19 and 8/21-10/
                7/19 and no comments were received. This decision constitutes final
                Agency action and there is no Administrative appeal.
                DATES: This action is effective as of October 29, 2019.
                ADDRESSES: Copies of the petition reissuance and all pertinent
                information relating thereto are on file at the following location:
