				movement of injection or formation fluids into a USDW.
b) Injection between the outermost casing
				protecting USDWs and the well bore is prohibited.
c) The owner or operator must maintain an
				annulus pressure that exceeds the operating injection pressure, unless the
				Agency determines in writing that such a requirement might harm the integrity
				of the well. The fluid in the annulus must be noncorrosive, or must contain a
				corrosion inhibitor.
