Class I wells

Enter the total annual amount of the chemical that was injected into all wells, including Class I wells, at the facility. 

The number of industrial-waste injection wells more than doubled between 1967 and 1986.3 In 1986, Class I injection wells were concentrated in two states, Texas (112 wells) and Louisiana (70 wells), which between them had a total of 69% of all wells (263 wells). Growth from 1984 to 1986 was concentrated in Texas, with a 38% increase from 81 to 112 wells. The only other states to show a significant increase from 1984 to 1986 were Indiana (13 proposed wells) and California (7 proposed wells). Nine states had had industrial-waste injection wells in the past but did not have any permitted Class I wells in 1986 (Alabama, Colorado, Iowa, Mississippi, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Wyoming). One state (Washington) had a Class I well in 1986, but no record of industrial wastewater injection before that year. The total number of industrial-waste injection wells increased to 300 at the end of the 1990s and beginning of this century, approximately 100 Class I hazardous waste injection wells and about 200 Class I wells that hold nonhazardous waste.1-18...

Figure 20.1 shows the number of Class I wells in the 1986 survey by state, divided into U.S. EPA regions, and also indicates the regulatory status of such wells in each state as of 1989. The map shows the heavy concentration of hazardous waste injection wells in three geologic basins Gulf Coast, Illinois Basin, and the Michigan Basin.1 3 ... 

In 1985, 27% of Class I wells were of this type, with most located in the Illinois Basin. 

Gravel pack. Gravel pack and perforated completions are used where unconsolidated sands in the injection zone must be supported. In gravel-pack completions the cavity in the injection zone is filled with gravel or, more typically, a screen or liner is placed in the injection-zone cavity before the cavity is filled with gravel. In perforated completions, the casing and cement extend into the injection zone and are then perforated in the most permeable sections. In 1985, 53% of Class I wells were perforated and 17% were screened.20... 

Class I wells may inject hazardous and nonhazardous fluids (industrial and municipal wastes) into isolated formations beneath the lowermost USDW. Because they may inject hazardous waste. Class I wells are the most strictly regulated and are further regulated under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). 

In fact, each linear polarizability itself consists of a sum of two temis, one potentially resonant and the other anti-resonant, corresponding to die two doorway events, and D, and the window events, and described above. The hyperpolarizability chosen in equation (B1.3.12) happens to belong to the generator. As noted, such tliree-coloiir generators caimot produce Class I spectroscopies (fiill quadrature with tliree colours is not possible). Only the two-colour generators are able to create the Class I Raman spectroscopies and, in any case, only two colours are nomially used for the Class II Raman spectroscopies as well. 

Unit cells of pure cellulose fall into five different classes, I—IV and x. This organization, with recent subclasses, is used here, but Cellulose x is not discussed because there has been no recent work on it. Crystalline complexes with alkaU (50), water (51), or amines (ethylenediamine, diaminopropane, and hydrazine) (52), and crystalline cellulose derivatives also exist. Those stmctures provide models for the interactions of various agents with cellulose, as well as additional information on the cellulose backbone itself. Usually, as shown in Eigure la, there are two residues in the repeated distance. However, in one of the alkah complexes (53), the backbone takes a three-fold hehcal shape. Nitrocellulose [9004-70-0] heUces have 2.5 residues per turn, with the repeat observed after two turns (54).

The API has nine classes of well cements [63]. The classification is similar to ASTM C 150, Type I [80]. The well cement classes are summarized in Table 10-4. 

Liquid-Fluid Equilibria Nearly all binary liquid-fluid phase diagrams can be conveniently placed in one of six classes (Prausnitz, Licntenthaler, and de Azevedo, Molecular Thermodynamics of Fluid Phase Blquilibria, 3d ed., Prentice-Hall, Upper Saddle River, N.J., 1998). Two-phase regions are represented by an area and three-phase regions by a line. In class I, the two components are completely miscible, and a single critical mixture curve connects their criticsu points. Other classes may include intersections between three phase lines and critical curves. For a ternary wstem, the slopes of the tie lines (distribution coefficients) and the size of the two-phase region can vary significantly with pressure as well as temperature due to the compressibility of the solvent. 

This section discusses the characteristics of hazardous wastes typically injected into Class I injection wells. It includes the following ... 

Before our work [39], only one catalytic mechanism for zinc dependent HDACs has been proposed in the literature, which was originated from the crystallographic study of HDLP [47], a histone-deacetylase-like protein that is widely used as a model for class-I HDACs. In the enzyme active site, the catalytic metal zinc is penta-coordinated by two asp residues, one histidine residues as well as the inhibitor [47], Based on their crystal structures, Finnin et al. [47] postulated a catalytic mechanism for HDACs in which the first reaction step is analogous to the hydroxide mechanism for zinc proteases zinc-bound water is a nucleophile and Zn2+ is five-fold coordinated during the reaction process. However, recent experimental studies by Kapustin et al. suggested that the transition state of HDACs may not be analogous to zinc-proteases [48], which cast some doubts on this mechanism. 

The three class I ADH promoters are very similar. Prominent among the ds-act-ing elements that contribute to promoter function are the TATA box, a pair of C/ EBP sites (that can also be bound by DBP) flanking the TATA box, an E-box sequence (CACGTG) just upstream at which USF can bind, and a G3T sequence (that binds Spl) one helical turn further upstream from the E-box [28, 29]. Further upstream are CTF/NF-1 and HNF-1 sites, and some elements that are specific to only some of these genes [24]. Differences among the class I genes in these and other sites affect the tissue distribution and amount of expression. Sequence differences among individuals could well affect the level and site(s) of expression, and thereby the effects of alcohol.
