Abstract
The state of Montana, through the Montana Board of Oil and Gas Conservation (MBOGC) has submitted an application to EPA under Section 1425 of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), 42 U.S.C. 300h-1, for approval of an Underground Injection Control (UIC) program governing Class II (i.e., oil and gas) injection wells. After careful review of the application, the EPA has determined that the MBOCG's UIC program for Class II injection wells meets the requirements of the SDWA and, therefore, approves it.
