Underground Injection Control Program

Underground injection is the subsurface emplacement of fluids through a well or hole whose depth is greater than its width. Injected fluids can include hazardous waste, brine from oil and gas production, and certain mining processes. An injection well can include a septic well, cesspool, or dry well. The SDWA allows regulation of UIC to protect usable aquifers from contamination, with additional restrictions and controls under the 1984 Amendments to RCRA. [Pg.23]

There are five classes of injection wells (Class I through V). Class I disposal wells are used for the disposal of industrial and hazardous waste streams, and may also be subject to certain RCRA, Subtitle C hazardous waste management regulations. Class II wells are defined as those wells used in conjunction with oil and gas production activities. Class III wells are defined as those wells that inject fluids  [Pg.23]

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. [Pg.24]

The Underground Injection Control Program (UIC), under SDWA, protects the subsurface emplacement of fluid. This act allowed the SDWA to protect the public from contaminated drinking water. This program is discussed in 8.5. [Pg.12]
