The injection of produced water and other oil held fluids into wells started as early as 1928. In 1976, more than 300 industrial waste disposal sites were in operation throughout the country. By 1986, approximately 60 million barrels of oil held fluids were injected through 166,000 injection wells within the conterminous United States. These volumes are anticipated to increase significantly in the future as producing helds continue to be depleted. Thus, construction requirements as listed in 40 CFR 146.22 are an essential prerequisite to the safe disposal/injechon of fluids and the prevention of contamination of USDW.

The mining of phosphate rock (mostly from terrestrially emplaced marine phosphorite deposits) for use as agricultural fertilizer has increased dramatically in the latter half of this century (F72). In addition to fertilizer use, deforestation, increased cultivation, urban and industrial waste disposal all have enhanced phosphorus transport from terrestrial to aquatic systems, often with deleterious results. For example, elevated phosphorus concentrations in rivers resulting from these activities have resulted in eutrophication in some lakes and coastal areas, stimulating nuisance algal blooms and promoting hypoxic or anoxic conditions harmful or lethal to natural populations (e.g., Caraco, 1995 Fisher et al., 1995 Melack, 1995).
