The signatories to the attached letter submit these comments and recommendations to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in response to the proposed rule for geologic sequestration of carbon dioxide under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). "Federal Requirements Under the Underground Injection Control (UIC) Program for Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Geologic Sequestration (GS) Wells", 73 Fed. Reg. 43491-541 (July 25, 2008). We appreciated the extension of the public comment period that was granted by Assistant Administrator Benjamin Grumbles, announced in the Federal Register on November 21 and confirmed in your letter of November 24. The organizations submitting these recommendations represent a broad array of interests in the issues associated with this rulemaking and many of us have been discussing these interests and issues in an effort to reach consensus or at least narrow our differences. We used this extension period to continue efforts toward developing recommendations reflecting common views on a number of the major issues in this rulemaking on which EPA expressly requested comment and several other issues. We share your hope that these comments and recommendations will help the Agency develop a rule that will allow the technology to be permitted under an appropriate injection class while also ensuring protection of underground sources of drinking water as well as human health and the environment.
