Abstract

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is providing notice of transfer of the portion of the State of Idaho’s Underground Injection Control (UIC) program for Class II injection wells from the State to EPA, and is concurrently issuing a proposed rule to amend its regulations to reflect such transfer. The State of Idaho submitted a formal request that EPA transfer and directly implement the Class II UIC Program. Idaho would maintain primacy for Class I, III, IV, and V injection wells pursuant to their EPA-approved program in 1985. Under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), a state may voluntarily transfer UIC program responsibilities required by federal law to EPA. Idaho has not issued any permits for Class II UIC wells since the state received primacy in 1985.
