Underground Injection Control: Requirements for Authorization to Inject
Most UIC wells in EPA Region 2 are Class V, which includes large capacity septic systems, motor vehicle waste disposal wells, industrial or process wastes wells, and stormwater drywells. Class V wells may be authorized by rule, or may require permits. All UIC wells must be inventoried with a delegated state or EPA. The UIC program and specific well inventory and permitting requirements will be presented along with case studies to illustrate the UIC well injection authorization process.
The information is provided by officials of the United States Environmental Protection Agency. However, neither this abstract nor the actual presentation have been peer reviewed by EPA.
