No. 10-OPA22
Chicago (March 5, 2010) E.P.A. Region five will accept public comments until April 23 on a Team Completions LLC request to change its existing permit to dispose of non-hazardous waste deep underground at its facility near Kingsley in Grand Traverse County.
Team Completions currently operates a commercial underground injection well in which it disposes of brine from oil and gas wells. The company also wants to inject what is known as "leachate," a non-hazardous liquid waste from landfills.
After reviewing the request, E.P.A. found the company has shown that injected waste will not threaten underground sources of drinking water. Therefore, E.P.A. projects to grant the permit request.
An open house will be held from six p.m. to seven p.m., Wednesday, April 7, at Mill Creek Elementary School, 9039 Old M-72, Williamsburg, Mich., with a public hearing to follow from seven p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The permit will be valid for ten years.
For questions and additional information contact William Bates, 312-886-6110, bates.william@epa.gov or, call E.P.A. Region five toll-free at 800-621-8431, 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. weekdays. Outline documents are accessible at the Traverse Area District Library, 610 Woodmere, Traverse City, and on EPA's Web location at
