Public Notice: Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality Notice of Proposed Underground Injection Control Permit General Permit Termination

The Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (WDEQ) Underground Injection Control (UIC) Program regulates certain discharges of pollutants into groundwaters of the state. Operators of these discharges are required to receive coverage under a UIC permit. The purpose of this notification is to inform the public that the UIC Program intends to terminate General Permit 5C4-981 and 5C4-2: Authorization to Discharge Automotive Waste into a Class 5C4 Subsurface Fluid Distribution or Drywell System. Motor vehicle waste disposal wells were banned by the U.S. EPA in 2000 and there are no authorizations issued to any operator in Wyoming at this time.

The public comment period begins December 7, 2022, and ends January 6, 2023. Electronic copies of the current permits are available for review.

During the 30-day public comment period, any interested person may submit written comments on the termination and may request a public hearing be held. Electronic comments may only be submitted through and accepted by the WDEQ comment portal provided at *[link removed]. [ [link removed] ]*
