This report explores various legal and policy avenues to eliminate or minimize IS associated with wastewater disposal activities from oil and gas development. It focuses on UIC regulations under the Safe Drinking Water Act, as implemented by various states, and federal best practices for managing and mitigating IS. The paper examines moratoriums and bans, executive orders, permitting systems, and state regulations (AR, CO, NC, OH, OK, and TX) and discusses how state action has measured up to the federal government’s listed best practices. |
