CHAPTER 331UNDERGROUND INJECTION CONTROL
SUBCHAPTER GCONSIDERATION PRIOR TO PERMIT ISSUANCE
RULE §331.121Class I Wells

  (1) The following information is required for each active Class I hazardous waste injection well at a facility seeking an underground injection control permit:

    (A) dates well was operated; and

    (B) specification of all wastes that have been injected in the well, if available.

  (2) The owner or operator of any facility containing one or more active hazardous waste injection wells must submit all available information pertaining to any release of hazardous waste or constituents from any active hazardous waste injection well at the facility.

  (3) The owner or operator of any facility containing one or more active Class I hazardous waste injection wells must conduct such preliminary site investigations as are necessary to determine whether a release is occurring, has occurred, or is likely to have occurred.

(f) Interim Status under the Resource Conservation Recovery Act (RCRA) for Class I hazardous waste injection wells. The minimum state standards which define acceptable injection of hazardous waste during the period of interim status are set out in this chapter. The issuance of an underground injection well permit does not automatically terminate RCRA interim status. A Class I well's interim status does, however, automatically terminate upon issuance of a RCRA permit for that well, or upon the well's receiving a RCRA permit-by-rule under §335.47 of this title (relating to Special Requirements for Persons Eligible for a Federal Permit by Rule). Thus, until a Class I well injecting hazardous waste receives a RCRA permit or RCRA permit-by-rule, the well's interim status requirements are the applicable requirements imposed under this chapter, including any requirements imposed in the underground injection control permit.
