Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-005117
This is a term for all injection wells which are not explicitly identified as Class I, Class II, Class III or Class IV in the Code of Federal Regulations Sections 144.6 and 146.5. Classes I, II and III are different types of deep injection wells which inject fluids below underground sources of drinking water. Class IV wells inject hazardous waste into or above an underground source of drinking water and are generally banned. Class V wells include all other injection wells. They generally are shallow subsurface fluid disposal systems which are disposing of non-hazardous fluids into or above underground sources of drinking water.
