(a) In addition to the requirements in W.S. 35-11-301(a), no person shall:

  • (i) Discharge into, construct, operate, or modify any Class VI well unless permitted pursuant to this chapter;
  • (ii) Discharge to any zone except the authorized discharge zone as described in the permit;
  • (iii) Conduct any authorized injection activity in a manner that results in a violation of any permit condition, representations made in the application, or the request for coverage under the individual permit. A permit condition supersedes any application content.

(b) No person shall inject any hazardous waste that has been banned from land disposal pursuant to Chapter 1, Wyoming Hazardous Waste Rules.

(c) The construction of new, or operation or maintenance of any existing Class V wells for non-experimental geologic sequestration is prohibited.

(d) Other than EPA approved aquifer exemption expansions that meet the criteria set forth in Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission Rules and Regulations, Chapter 4, Section 12, new aquifer exemptions shall not be issued for Class VI injection wells. Even if an aquifer has not been specifically identified by the administrator, it is an underground source of drinking water if it meets the definition in Section 2 of this chapter.
