Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 704 - UIC PERMIT PROGRAM › Subpart I - REQUIREMENTS FOR CLASS V INJECTION WELLS › Section 704.283 - Notification of a Class V Injection Well

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
The owner or operator of a Class V injection well needs to
				  provide basic "inventory information" about its well to the Agency, if the
				  owner or operator has not done so already. The owner or operator also needs to
				  provide any additional information that the Agency requests in accordance with
				  the provisions of the UIC regulations.
a) Inventory Requirements. Unless the owner
				or operator knows it has already satisfied the inventory requirements in
				Section
				704.128
				that were in effect prior to the issuance of this Subpart I, the owner or
				operator must give the Agency certain information about itself and its
				injection operation.
BOARD NOTE: In the corresponding note to
				  40 CFR
				  144.83(a), USEPA states that
				  this information is requested on national form "Inventory of Injection Wells",
				  USEPA Form 7520-16, incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
				  720.111(a).
				  Although USEPA Form 7520-16 is acceptable to USEPA, the Agency may develop
				  alternative forms for use in this State.
1) The owner or operator of a new or existing
				Class V injection well must contact the Agency to determine what information it
				must submit and by when it must submit that information.
2) The following is the information that the
				owner or operator must submit:
A) No matter
				what type of Class V injection well is owned or operated, the owner or operator
				must submit at least the following information for each Class V injection well:
i) The facility name and location;
ii) The name and address of a legal contact
				person for the facility;
iii) The
				ownership of the facility;
iv) The
				nature and type of the injection well or wells; and
v) The operating status of the injection well
				or wells.
B) Illinois is
				designated a "Primacy State" by USEPA. Corresponding
				40 CFR
				144.83(a)(2)(ii) relates
				exclusively to "Direct Implementation" states, so the Board has omitted it.
				This statement maintains structural consistency with the federal
				regulations.
C) The owner or
				operator must provide a list of all wells it owns or operates, along with the
				following information for each well. (A single description of wells at a single
				facility with substantially the same characteristics is acceptable.)
i) The location of each well or project given
				by Township, Range, Section, and Quarter-Section, according to the U.S. Land
				Survey System;
ii) The date of
				completion of each well;
iii) The
				identification and depth of the underground formations into which each well is
				injecting;
iv) The total depth of
				each well;
v) A construction
				narrative and schematic (both plan view and cross-sectional
				drawings);
vi) The nature of the
				injected fluids;
vii) The average
				and maximum injection pressure at the wellhead;
viii) The average and maximum injection rate;
				and
ix) The date of the last
				inspection.
3)
				The owner and operator is responsible for knowing about, understanding, and
				complying with these inventory requirements.
