The purpose of this fact sheet is to briefly describe the principal facts and the considerations that went into preparing the proposed petition modification. To meet these objectives, this fact sheet contains background information on the petition process, a description of the facility, a brief description of the petition conditions and the reasons for these petition conditions.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency proposes to approve a modification to the existing exemption from the land disposal restrictions of the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (42 U.S.C. § 6901, et seq; 40 CFR 148) to allow for the use of Well #11 for the injection of hazardous waste at the Occidental Chemical Corporation located at 6200 South Ridge Road, Wichita, Kansas 67215. If approved, Well #11 would be a replacement for Well #4 which had been included in the existing No Migration Petition but was plugged and abandoned in 2008. The approval of Occidental’s petition modification request for Well #11 would not increase the volume of fluids that would be allowed to be injected at the facility.
