| Annotation: |
This report compares the laws and regulations of seven states (Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Texas)and the federal government (EPA) to control the disposal of oil and gas wastewater into Class II Underground Injection Control (UIC) wells. The basis of this comparison is a compilation of applicable statutes and regulations into a publicly available, on-line, free-access dataset, available at http://lawatlas.org/datasets/IS-oil-gas-wastewater, hosted by the Policy Surveillance Program at the Center for Public Health Law Research at Temple University’s Beasley School of Law. Most of the federal and state law displayed in the LawAtlas dataset and additional materials gleaned from state agencies were designed to protect underground sources of drinking water, although some are specific to controlling induced seismicity. The focus of the dataset and this comparison is to highlight which jurisdictions have regulatory tools to address the hazards and risks of induced seismicity |
