Class I Injection Wells

Class I injection wells are classified as follows:

  1. Hazardous Waste Disposal Injection Wells: wells used by generators of hazardous wastes or owners or operators of hazardous waste management facilities to inject hazardous waste for disposal beneath the lowermost formation containing, within two miles of the well bore, an underground source of drinking water;
  2. Non-Hazardous Waste Disposal Injection Wells: wells used to inject non-hazardous industrial and municipal waste fluids for disposal beneath the lowermost formation containing, within two miles of the well bore, an underground source of drinking water; this category includes disposal wells operated in conjunction with uranium mining activities.
  3. Radioactive Waste Disposal Wells: wells used to inject radioactive fluids beneath the lowermost formation containing, within two miles of the well bore, an underground source of drinking water.

There are no Class I injection wells in Utah.
