Section 704.279  General

This Subpart I sets forth the requirements applicable to the owner or operator of a Class V injection well.  Additional requirements listed elsewhere in this Part may also apply.  Where they may apply, those other requirements are referenced rather than repeated in this Subpart I.  The requirements described in this Subpart I and elsewhere in this Part are intended to protect USDWs and are part of the UIC program established under Section 13(c) of the Act.

BOARD NOTE:  Derived from 40 CFR 144.79 (2017).  USEPA wrote corresponding subpart G of 40 CFR 144 in a question-and-answer format to make it easier to understand the regulatory requirements.  The Board has abandoned that format in favor of a more traditional approach of using clear statements of the requirements and their applicability.
