ON at the Denver Federal Building., 1961 Stout St. , Room 239, Denver, Colorado to
UIC receive public comment on the proposed Underground Injection Control program
direct implementation regulations proposed September 2, 1983 in the Federal

Commission (COGCC) has applied for primary enforcement authority for all oil and gas
related injection wells in the State. If EPA finds that COGCC has met the requirements

Colorado. The types of injection wells that EPA is proposing to regulate in Colorado
are as follows: Class I - industrial and municipal disposal (including some hazardous
waste injection wells); Class II .. oil and gas related wells; Class III - special
process wells used for solution mining or mineral extraction; Class IV - wells used to
inject hazardous wastes into or above an underground source of drinking water; and
Class V - all injection wells not included in the other classes. Comments on the
proposal for direct implementation of the UIC program in Colorado must be received by
November 1, 1983 to be considered. Copies of the proposed regulations may be obtained
