VIOLATIONS: ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA) REGULATIONS REQUIRE THE OWNER OR OPERATOR OF AN INJECTION WELL TO PREVENT CONTAMINATION OF UNDERGROUND SOURCES OF DRINKING WATER (USDWS) THROUGH THE WELL BORE. RESPONDENT IS MAINTAINING AN INJECTION WELL WITH A STATIC FLUID LEVEL LESS THAN 50 FEET BELOW THE BASE OF USDWS. THIS PRESENTS AN UNACCEPTABLE RISK THAT FLUIDS COULD MOVE THROUGH THE WELL BORE INTO USDWS.
REMEDY: RESPONDENT MUST COMPLETE CORRECTIVE ACTIONS TO PREVENT FLUIDS FROM MOVING THROUGH THE WELL BORE INTO USDWS.
