Notice of Public Workshop To Discuss 

Management of Underground Injection 

of Carbon Dioxide for Geologic 

Sequestration Under the Safe Drinking 

Water Act 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is holding a second 

public workshop to discuss the 

development of proposed regulations for 

the underground injection of carbon 

dioxide (CO2) for geologic sequestration 

under the Safe Drinking Water Act 

(SDWA). The SDWA requires EPA to 

protect underground sources of drinking 

water from contamination due to 

underground injection activities. The 

Underground Injection Control Program 

works with States and Tribes to oversee 

underground injection activities and 

prevent endangerment of drinking water 

sources. This public workshop will 

provide an opportunity for dialogue 

with representatives from industry, 

government, public interest groups, and 

the general public on geologic 

sequestration of carbon dioxide. 

DATES: This public workshop will be 

held from 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., Eastern 

time, on Tuesday, February 26, 2008, 

and from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on 

Wednesday, February 27, 2008. To 

register for this workshop, please visit

experience difficulties with the 

registration Web site, you may contact 

Kate Zimmer at RESOLVE at

February 18, 2008. Also note that while 

this workshop is open to the public, 

space is limited due to room capacity 

restrictions. We encourage you to

Injection Control Program & geologic 

sequestration activities visit the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

purpose of this workshop is to continue 

to advance the dialogue between EPA 

and stakeholders on geologic 

sequestration of CO2 under SDWA and 

to provide updates on the proposed rule 

making process. This workshop will 

also afford EPA an opportunity to seek 

feedback from stakeholders on a set of 

specific subjects identified as key areas 

of concern and interest to stakeholders, 

which were voiced during the first 

workshop (December 2007) and other 

EPA sponsored technical workshops, 

held from 2005 to present. These 

subjects may include, but are not 

limited to public participation, long 

term liability, site characterization/area 

of review (AoR), monitoring, and UIC 

well construction.
