hereby petitions the Southwestern LLRW Commission (Commission) to authorize the Petitioner’s exportation of  LLRW to the licensed WCS facility   near Andrews, Texas.  Petitioner certifies LLRW exported for disposal will meet waste acceptance criteria promulgated by the Texas Commission on  Environmental Quality (TCEQ) in the license (R04100, as amended) issued by TCEQ to WCS.  For purposes of this petition, LLRW has the same   definition as exists in the LLRW Policy Amendments Act of 1985 (Public Law No. 99-240) or the Southwestern LLRW Disposal Compact Consent Act. 

A. The Commission, upon approval, grants Petitioner the authority petitioned for, subject to the following terms and conditions

1. The Petitioner is to use the name and code, as assigned on this form, above, on all manifests.  
2. The Petitioner shall comply with the requirements of Texas Administrative Code 31 TAC Sec. 675.23, as amended.

7.
