Краткое содержание

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will hold public meetings on January 20, 1998 in Washington, DC and January 27 in Chicago, IL. The purpose of these meetings will be to gather information and collect opinions from parties who will be affected by or are otherwise interested in the Revisions to the Underground Injection Control (UIC) Regulations for Class V Injection Wells. Typically, Class V wells are shallow wells which inject a variety of fluids directly below the land surface. The Class V wells under consideration for new requirements include motor vehicle waste disposal wells, cesspools, and industrial waste disposal wells in ground water- based source water protection areas. EPA will consider the comments and views expressed in these meetings in developing the proposed regulation. EPA is especially interested in seeking input from small entities and small entity representatives. EPA encourages the full participation of all stakeholders throughout this process.
