includes activities from October 1- September 30. Please do not
leave anything blank on this form. Enter a 0 if there are no
wells that apply to the information requested; enter “NA” if
the information does not apply to your program (e.g., if you do
not oversee that class of well).

Wells Reviewed: For rule authorized (existing) Class II wells only,
enter the number of wells with permit files reviewed and
compliance status determined this federal fiscal year to date.
Wells Deficient: For rule authorized Class II wells, enter the
number of reviewed wells that were found deficient (not in
compliance with UIC regulations).

Section V. Permit Application
Section VIII. Area of Review (AoR)
Enter, under each well class, the total number of permit
applications that have been received this year to date. Include all
applications regardless of their status for “New” and “Existing”
wells.

All wells that penetrate the injection zone in the AoR of an injection
well/field are reviewed during permit determination or during any
AoR analysis of a rule authorized well file.

A “New Well” is any well that began operation after the effective
date of the State (or EPA) Underground Injection Control
Program.

Item A: For each well class, enter the number of “Abandoned” and
“Other” wells reviewed in the AoR for each permit application or
file that has been reviewed this federal fiscal year to date.

An “Existing Well” is any injection well that was in existence on
the effective date of the State (or EPA) UIC Program.

“Abandoned” includes any well penetrating the injection zone in the
AoR that has been properly or improperly plugged and/or
abandoned.

Definitions and Instructions
All reporting is cumulative over the federal fiscal year, and includes
activities from October 1- March 31 (for midyear reporting) and from
October 1- September 30 (for end of year reporting). Please do not
leave anything blank on this form. Enter a 0 if there are no wells
that apply to the information requested; enter “NA” if the
information does not apply to your program (e.g., if you do not
oversee that class of well).
A Class I, II, III, IV, or V injection well with a violation of a permit or
rule requirement is said to be in noncompliance. Note: A well with
certain types of violations may also be in significant noncompliance.
(See Form 7520-2B (Reverse) for definitions of SNC violations.)
Section V. Summary of Violations
(Includes all noncompliance, significant and non-significant)
A. Total Wells: For each well class, enter the number of wells with
one or more violations in this federal fiscal year to date. Enter each
well only once. Include all wells with violations, even those with
violations that have been returned to compliance.
B. Total Violations:
Items 1-6: For each well class, enter the number of times each
violation type has been identified this federal fiscal year to date.
Section VI. Summary of Enforcement
A. Total Wells: For each well class, enter the number of wells with
violations that have been addressed by the specific type of
enforcement action indicated in the row, in this federal fiscal year to
date. Enter each well only once.
B. Total Enforcement Actions:
Items 1-8: For each well class, enter the number of times wells with
violations been addressed by the specific type of enforcement action
indicated in the row, in this federal fiscal year to date. (Count draft and
final Administrative Orders together.)
Section VII. Number of Wells Returned to Compliance
A “Well Returned to Compliance” is a well that has all underlying
violations resolved and compliance has been verified by the primacy
program. Note: An enforcement action alone (e.g., well shut-in) does
not constitute a “return to compliance;” however, plugging and
abandonment does constitute a return to compliance.
A. For each well class, enter the number of wells returned to
compliance in the current quarter only.
B. For each well class, enter the number of wells returned to
compliance this federal fiscal year to date. Enter each well only
once.
Section VIII. USDW Contaminations
For each well class, enter the number of times a well in noncompliance
has allegedly contaminated an underground source of drinking water
(USDW) this federal fiscal year to date.

Section IX. Percent of MIT Violations Resolved in 90 Days
For each well class, enter the percentage of MIT violations resolved
within 90 days as of the end of the reporting period.

Mechanical Integrity violations are as defined in Section V, under
“Mechanical Integrity.”

Resolved is defined as returned to compliance (per Section VII).

MI violations not associated with loss of mechanical integrity
(such as reporting) are not counted under this section.

Violations occurring WITHIN 90 days of September 30 should
be included in reporting for the following federal fiscal year.
To calculate the percentage:

Add up the total number of MIT violations that occurred within
the year prior to the reporting cutoff.

Add up the number of these violations that were resolved within
90 days as of 3/31(for midyear reporting) or as of 9/30 (for end of
year reporting).

Calculate the percentage of total MIT violations that were
resolved in 90 days or less.
Example for Midyear reporting:

Number of violations that occurred from 7/1 – 3/31 = 8

Number of these violations resolved within 90 days as of 3/31 = 2

Percentage of MIT violation resolved within 90 days = 25%
Example for End of Year reporting:

Number of MIT violations that occurred from 7/1 – 6/30 = 10
o 8 from midyear plus 2 additional (4/1 to 6/30)


Number of these violations resolved within 90 days as of 9/30 = 5
o 2 (from midyear) + 3 (from 4/1 to 6/30)



Percentage of MIT resolved within 90 days by 9/30 = 50%

Instructions and Definitions
Section IV. Reporting Period: All reporting is cumulative over the
federal fiscal year, and includes activities from October 1- March 31 (for
midyear reporting) and from October 1- September 30 (for end of year
reporting).
Please do not leave anything blank on this form. Enter a 0 if there are
no wells that apply to the information requested; enter “NA” if the
information does not apply to your program (e.g., if you do not oversee
that class of well).
Note: Significant Noncompliance violations are a subset of the violations
reported on EPA Form 7520-2A.
Definitions of SNC Violations: SNC violations are violations that
endanger or pose a significant potential to endanger underground sources
of drinking water (USDWs), and violations that are not addressed after
enforcement actions. For example:
1. The following violations for a Class I well:
a. Contamination of a USDW;
b. Injection of unauthorized fluid(s);
c. Injection into unauthorized zones;
d. Failure to cease injection after loss of MI detected; Failure to
comply with corrective action requirements;
e. Failure to operate automatic shutdown system;
f. Failure to operate automatic warning system;
g. Unauthorized plugging and abandonment;
h. Violation of a Formal Order;
i. Knowing submission of false information;
j. Violations involving loss of mechanical integrity;
k. Violations of maximum injection pressure;
l. Failure to install and/or operate injection pressure and annulus
pressure monitoring systems or other monitoring systems, required
by permit or rule; and
m. Failure to maintain required annulus pressure.
Also, any Class I well with a non-SNC violation that is noted three times
within twelve months of the first violation is considered to be in SNC.
2. The following violations for a Class II, III, or V well:
a. Unauthorized Injection – Any unauthorized emplacement of fluids
(where formal authorization is required);
b. Mechanical Integrity – Well operation without mechanical integrity
which causes the movement of fluid outside the authorized zone – if
injection of such fluid may have the potential for endangering a
USDW;
c. Injection Pressure – Well operation at an injection pressure that
exceeds the permitted or authorized injection pressure and causes
the movement of fluid outside the authorized zone of injection – if
such movement may have the potential for endangering a USDW;
d. Plugging and Abandonment – The plugging and abandonment of an
injection well in an unauthorized manner. These wells are in SNC
only when there is endangerment of USDW and there is an
identifiable owner/operator;
e. Violation of a Formal Order – Any violation of a formal
enforcement action, including an administrative or judicial order,
consent agreement, judgment, or equivalent action; or
f. Falsification – The knowing submission or use of any false
information in a permit application, periodic report or special
request for information about a well.
3. Any violation for a Class IV well.

Supply the name and street address of the facility where the Class V well(s) is located. Include the City/Town, State (U.S. Postal Service
abbreviation) and Zip Code. If there is no street address for the Class V well, provide the route number or locate the well(s) on a map and
attach it to this form. Under "Location," provide the Latitude/Longitude of the well, if available.

Provide the name and mailing address of the owner of the facility, or if the facility is operated by lease, the operator of the facility. Include
the name and phone number of the legal contact for any questions regarding the information provided on this form.

Indicate the type of Class V well that you intend to close (for example, motor vehicle waste disposal well or cesspool). Provide the number
of wells of this well type at your location that will be closed.

Mark an "X" in the appropriate box to indicate the type of well construction. Mark all that apply to your situation. For example, for a septic tank that drains into a drywell, mark both the "septic tank" and "drywell" boxes. Please provide a generalized sketch or schematic of
the well construction if available.

List or describe the types of fluids that enter the Class V well. If available, attach a copy of the chemical analysis results and/or the
Material Safety Data Sheets for the fluids that enter the well.

Estimate the average daily flow into the well in gallons per day.

Provide the year that the Class V well was constructed. If unknown, provide the length of time that your business has been at this location
and used this well.

Mark an "X" in the appropriate box(s) to indicate briefly how the well closure is expected to proceed. Mark all that apply to your situation.
For example, all boxes except the "Remove well & any contaminated soil" and "Other" would be marked if: the connection of an automotive service bay drain leading to a septic tank and drainfield will be closed, but the septic system will continue to be used for washroom
waste disposal only, and the fluids and sludge throughout the system will be removed for proper disposal, the system cleaned, a cement
plug placed in the service bay drain and the pipe leading to the washroom connection, and the septic tank/drainfield remains open for septic use only. In this example, the motor vehicle waste disposal well is being converted to another well type (a large capacity septic system).

PLEASE READ . . .
The purpose of this form is to serve as the means for the Class V well owner or operator’s notice to the UIC Director of his/her intent to close the
well in accordance with Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR) Section 144.12(a). According to 40 CFR §144.86, you must notify the
UIC Program Director at least 30 days prior to well closure of your intent to close and abandon your well. Upon receipt of this form, if the
Director determines that more specific information is required to be submitted to ensure that the well closure will be conducted in a manner that
will protect underground sources of drinking water (as defined in 40 CFR §144.3), the Director can require the owner/operator to prepare, submit
and comply with a closure plan acceptable to, and approved by the Director.
Please be advised that this form is intended to satisfy Federal UIC requirements regarding pre-closure notification only. Other State, Tribal or
Local requirements may also apply.
