The Underground Injection Control (UIC) Program, under authority of the Safe Drinking Water Act, established a federal-state regulatory system to protect underground sources of drinking water (USDWs) by ensuring that they are not endangered by the underground injection of fluids. 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 with UIC primary enforcement responsibility (primacy). States must report to EPA on permittee compliance and related information. This required information is reported using standardized forms and annual reports, and the governing regulations are codified at 40 CFR Parts 144 through 148. The data are used by UIC authorities to ensure the protection of USDWs.
The latest form for Underground Injection Control (UIC) Program (Renewal) expires 2022-04-30 and can be found here.
