James Van Blaricum - What are the requirements for Class II wells?
A state has the option of requesting primacy for Class II wells under either section 1422 or 1425 of the Safe Drinking Water Act:
Section 1422 requires states to meet EPA's minimum requirements for UIC programs. Programs authorized under section 1422 must include construction, operating, monitoring and testing, reporting, and closure requirements for well owners or operators. Enhanced oil and gas recovery wells may either be issued permits or be authorized by rule. Disposal wells are issued permits. The owners or operators of the wells must meet all applicable requirements, including strict construction and conversion standards and regular testing and inspection. James Van Blaricum
James Van Blaricum - Section 1425 allows states to demonstrate that their existing standards are effective in preventing endangerment of USDWs. These programs must include permitting, inspection, monitoring, and record-keeping and reporting that demonstrates the effectiveness of their requirements.
