Underground Injection Control (UIC) Program (Renewal)

OMB 2040-0042

EPA developed the Underground Injection Control (UIC) Program under the authority of the Safe Drinking Water Act to establish a federal-state regulatory system to protect underground sources of drinking water (USDWs) from injection fluids and injection-related activities. Injected fluids include hazardous waste, oil field brines or produced water, mineral processing fluids, various types of industrial fluids, automotive, sanitary, and other wastes, and carbon dioxide injected for geologic sequestration. Owners or operators of injection wells must obtain permits, conduct environmental monitoring, maintain records, and report results to EPA or the state agency (if the state has UIC primary enforcement responsibility (primacy)). States must report to EPA on permittee compliance and related information. This mandatory information is reported using standardized forms and annual reports. Reporting data are used by UIC authorities to ensure the protection of USDWs.

The latest form for Underground Injection Control (UIC) Program (Renewal) expires 2026-12-31 and is listed under ICR 202202-2040-003.
