Underground Injection Control Data Flow What is Underground Injection Control? Why PADEP selected the UIC Data Flow Designing and Developing the Process Challenges

What is Underground Injection Control ? The Underground Injection Control Program: regulates the construction of, permits, inspects, identifies violations, tracks enforcements, and tracks closures of injection wells that place fluids

What is Underground Injection Control ? 5 Types of Underground Injection Control: Class 1: (none in PA) Below DW Source Class 2: OG Brines and Fluids injected below DW Source Class 3: Hazardous Waste injected into or above (OUTLAWED) Class 4: RCRA or CERCLA cleanup

What is Underground Injection Control ? EPA Region 3 is primacy of the Underground Injection Control Program in Pennsylvania. Historically, UIC data has been shared with DEP on an ad hoc basis, through email, when needed by various programs. The manual process of acquiring and loading this data is time and labor intensive. This effort will automate the receipt and processing of UIC data to make it routinely

Why PADEP Selected the UIC Data Flow

Why PADEP Selected the UIC Data Flow How Data Could be Used Tools To assess risk and impacts to Public Water Supply Locations and Groundwater Shapefiles via location information To identify Class 2 Wells in Wellhead Protection areas Shapefiles via location information To identify Class 5 Locations for Groundwater Protection Shapefiles via location information Integrate with existing well data for Permit assessments Ad Hoc reporting (through API ID) Renewed interest in Class 2 wells and how they integrate with other Oil Gas information Ad Hoc reporting (through API Id)

Why PADEP Selected the UIC Data Flow Benefits of PADEP UIC Dataflow Automate the flow of this data to DEP programs in order to provide more timely access for: – Risk assessment and potential sources of contamination – Aid in ground water contaminant investigations – Aid to track where Marcellus frack water originated – Aid in identifying potential responsible parties of contaminations of water supplies – Aid in permit assessments (potential violators, large volume injectors)
