All existing sources must be in
compliance with the requirements of the
CAR and/or its referencing subparts
within three years of the effective date
(i.e., promulgation date) of the
appropriate standard for the affected
source. All new sources must be in
compliance with the requirements of the
CAR and/or its referencing subparts
upon startup or the promulgation date
of standards for an affected source,
whichever is later. Compliance is
assumed through initial performance
testing or design analysis, as
appropriate, and ongoing compliance is
demonstrated through parametric
monitoring. Types of parameters
monitored are incinerator temperature,
scrubber flow rate, carbon adsorber
regeneration frequency as well as others.
The appropriate parameter to monitor
depends on the type of control device
with which the owner or operator
chooses to comply.
The recordkeeping and reporting
requirements in the standards ensure
compliance with the applicable
regulations which were promulgated in
accordance with the Clean Air Act
(CAA). The collected information is also
used for targeting inspections and as
evidence in legal proceedings.
Performance tests are required in
order to determine an affected facility’s
initial capability to comply with the
emission standards. In addition,
continuous emission monitors are used
to ensure that the respondent complies
with the standards at all times. During
the performance test, a record of the
operating parameters under which
compliance was achieved may be
recorded and used to determine
compliance in place of a continuous
emission monitor.
The notifications required in the
standards are used to inform the Agency
or delegated authority when a source
becomes subject to the requirements of
the regulations. The reviewing authority
may then inspect the source to ensure
that the pollution control devices are
properly installed and operated, that
leaks are detected and repaired, and that
the standards are met. The performance
test may also be observed.
The required reports are used to
determine periods of excess emissions,
identify problems at the facility, verify
operation/maintenance procedures, and
for compliance determinations.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. The OMB Control
Numbers for EPA’s regulations are listed
in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15,

and are identified on the form and/or
instrument, if applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 180 hours per
response. Burden means the total time,
effort, or financial resources expended
by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
or disclose or provide information to or
for a Federal agency. This includes the
time needed to review instructions;
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purposes
of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; adjust the
existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and
requirements; train personnel to be able
to respond to a collection of
information; search data sources;
complete and review the collection of
information; and transmit or otherwise
disclose the information.
Respondents/Affected Entities:
Facilities in the Synthetic Organic
Chemical Manufacturing Industry.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
3,913.
Frequency of Response: Initially,
annually, semiannually and on
occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
2,057,270.
Estimated Total Annual Costs:
$226,718,704, which includes
$3,404,000 in annualized Capital/
startup costs, $91,956,000 annual O&M
costs, and $131,358,704 in Respondent
Labor Costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
decrease in burden of 108,330 hours
from the most recently approved ICR.
Some 35,758 hours of the changes are a
program change for NSPS subparts Kb,
VV, DDD, III, NNN and RRR, which no
longer require Notifications of
Anticipated Startup. The balance of the
changes (72,572 hours) are adjustments
due primarily to correction of errors and
the addition of clerical and managerial
hours to the burden calculation. There
is a corresponding decrease in the
average hours per response of 29 hours;
from 209 hours per response to 180
hours per response. There was a
decrease of $4,561,000 in the Total
Capital/Startup and Operation and
Maintenance Costs due to an error in the
previous ICR regarding the costs for
monitoring equipment when
determining Total Capital/Startup and
Operation and Maintenance Costs for
subpart Kb and subpart G of the
Hazardous Organic National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(HON). The cost for certain control

Notice of Final Decision To Grant
Vickery Environmental, Incorporated a
Modification of an Exemption From the
Land Disposal Restrictions of the
Hazardous and Solid Waste
Amendments of 1984 Regarding
Injection of Hazardous Wastes
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of final decision on a
request to modify an exemption from
the Hazardous and Solid Waste
Amendments of the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given by the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA
or Agency) that a modification of an
exemption to the land disposal
restrictions under the 1984 Hazardous
and Solid Waste Amendments to the
Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA) has been granted to Vickery
Environmental, Inc. (VEI) of Vickery,
Ohio. This modification allows VEI to
continue to inject RCRA-regulated
hazardous wastes designated as K181
wastes which will be banned from land
disposal on August 23, 2005, as a result
VerDate Aug<18>2005
16:30 Aug 31, 2005
Jkt 205001
of regulations promulgated in the
Federal Register (FR) on February 24,
2005 (70 FR 9138 et seq.) into four Class
I injection wells at the Vickery, Ohio,
facility. As required by 40 CFR part 148,
VEI has demonstrated, to a reasonable
degree of certainty, that there will be no
migration of hazardous constituents
from the injection zone utilized by VEI’s
waste disposal facility located near
Vickery, Ohio, for as long as the newlyexempted waste remains hazardous.
This decision constitutes a final Agency
action for which there is no
administrative appeal.
DATES: This action is effective as of
August 23, 2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Harlan Gerrish, Lead Petition Reviewer,
USEPA, Region 5, telephone (312) 886–
2939. Copies of the petition and all
related pertinent information are on file
and are part of the Administrative
Record. It is recommended that you
contact the lead reviewer prior to
reviewing the Administrative record.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Chemical Waste Management (CWM),
the predecessor of VEI, submitted a
petition for an exemption from the
restrictions on land disposal of
hazardous wastes on January 19, 1988.
Revised documents were received on
December 4, 1989, and several
supplemental submittals were
subsequently made. The exemption was
granted on August 7, 1990. On
September 12, 1994, CWM submitted a
petition to modify the exemption to
include wastes bearing 23 additional
RCRA wastes codes. Region 5 reviewed
documents supporting the request and
granted the modification of the
exemption on May 16, 1995. A notice of
the modification appeared on June 5,
1995, at 60 FR 29592 et seq. On April
9, 1996, CWM submitted a petition to
again modify the exemption to allow 91
additional RCRA waste codes. Region 5
reviewed documents supporting the
request and granted the modification on
the exemption on June 24, 1996. A
notice of the modification appeared on
July 15, 1996, at 61 FR 36880 et seq.
Again on May 13, 1997, CWM submitted
a request to add 11 waste codes to the
list. Region 5 reviewed the evidence
submitted by CWM and granted the
request. Notice of the approval appeared
on August 12, 1997 (63 FR 43109). On
October 13, 1997, CWM notified the
EPA that the name of the operator of the
Vickery facility would become Waste
Management of Ohio (WMO). This
change was acknowledged by EPA
through a letter added to the
PO 00000
Frm 00032
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
52097
Administrative Record on November 10,
1997. On August 28, 1998, WMO
requested that two additional wastes
codes be approved for injection. Notice
of the approval appeared on December
10, 1998 (63 FR 68284). In the same
year, on November 5, 1998, WMO
submitted a petition to exempt four
additional waste codes. Approval of this
petition appeared on February 10, 1999
(64 FR 6650). On January 24, 2000,
Waste Management of Ohio informed
EPA of a corporate reorganization and
subsequent name change from Waste
Management of Ohio to Vickery
Environmental, Inc. This change was
acknowledged by EPA through a letter
added to the Administrative Record on
March 9, 2000. On March 20, 2001, VEI
requested that two wastes, designated as
K174 and K175, be added to the list of
wastes exempted for injection at VEI.
This request was approved on May 23,
2001, and notice of the request appeared
in the Federal Register on April 25,
2001 (66 FR 28464–28466). On January
31, 2002, WMO requested that four
additional wastes codes be approved for
injection. Notice of the approval
appeared on April 29, 2004 (67 FR
20971).
The rule promulgated on February 24,
2005, bans K181 from injection after
August 23, 2005, unless VEI’s
exemption is modified to allow
injection of this waste. As a K-coded
waste, the code represents a number of
chemicals. Some of these have already
been approved for injection at Vickery
under other waste codes. VEI estimated
diffusion rates for constituents not
previously approved for injection using
a method which Region 5 has
previously accepted. The diffusion rates
are lower than that of the chloride ion,
the diffusion rate of which was used to
define the edge of the waste plume at
VEI. After review of the material
submitted and verification of the
calculations of diffusion rate, the EPA
has determined, as required by 40 CFR
148.20(f), that there is a reasonable
degree of certainty that the hazardous
constituents contained in the waste
bearing the code to be banned will
behave hydraulically and chemically
like wastes for which VEI was granted
its original exemption and will not
migrate from the injection zone in
hazardous concentrations within 10,000
years. The injection zone is the Mt.
Simon Sandstone and the Rome,
Conasauga, Kerbel, and Knox
Formations. The confining zone is
comprised of the Wells Creek and Black
River Formations.
