Class I Underground Injection Wells in Region 5

Definitions

This page lists the Class I injection wells in the Region 5 Direct Implementation states of Indiana and Michigan and in the Primacy states of Illinois and Ohio. (There are no deep wells in Minnesota or Wisconsin.)

Last update: January 2, 2003

Wells which inject hazardous wastes as defined by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) must have an approved exemption to the ban on land disposal of hazardous wastes.

Data for wells which were before the Federal Underground Injection Control program began have been taken from:

Class I Groundwater Monitoring Report, App. B, prepared by Engineering Enterprises, Inc. for U.S. EPA Region 5, October 1987
US EPA, Report to Congress on Injection of Hazardous Waste, 1985, EPA 570/9-85-003
US EPA, Draft Report: Assessment - Hazardous Waste Injection Wells, Volume II, Facility Assessment, 1984
US EPA, Compilation of Industrial and Municipal Injection Wells in the United States, 1974, EPA-520/9-74-020
Missing data will be added as time permits.

Primacy States

Note: Because Illinois and Ohio implement the UIC program in their states, the US EPA Region 5 UIC program does not have complete information about injection wells in those states. Please contact the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency for more information about these wells.
