Permitting Guidance for Oil and Gas
Hydraulic Fracturing Activities Using
Diesel Fuels—Draft: Underground
Injection Control Program Guidance
#84
DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
PO 00000
27451
EPA is taking comment on a
draft document that describes
Underground Injection Control (UIC)
Program guidance for permitting the
underground injection of oil- and gasrelated hydraulic fracturing (HF) using
diesel fuels where the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
is the permitting authority. The draft
guidance includes EPA’s interpretation
of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA)
and regulations regarding UIC
permitting of oil and gas hydraulic
fracturing operations using diesel fuels
as a fracturing fluid or as a component
of a fracturing fluid, specifically that
they are subject to Class II UIC
permitting requirements. EPA’s goal is
to provide greater regulatory clarity and
certainty to the industry, which will in
turn improve compliance with the
SDWA requirements and strengthen
environmental protections consistent
with existing law. The draft guidance
will not impose any new requirements.
See Supporting Information section.

received on or before July 9, 2012.
