TO ALL: Class V Injection Well Clarification
I under stand that there has been some information disseminating out to various people who post on this thread about the viability of this facility to function as a Class V facility. Lets all remember one thing, that this is a working facility that is currently permitted for Class II operation. Class II operation provides disposal for oil byproducts from the extraction process. Class V is less stringent.
My conversation with the Environmental Scientist directly over seeing the permitting process at the Utah Division of Water Quality has not even reviewed all the data to formulate a quantitative decision. This Friday is a meeting for questions and answers and a review of the hydraulic calculations Provided by Enviro-Tech and the Scientists they contracted. These calculations are being review for all geological considerations. And the primary consideration is upward mitigation to the upper aquifer, which is standard procedure for any deep well process. (Remember, currently working).
The economics of this are simple as stated from the EPA director region 8 (west coast):
" Cesspool wells (shallow wells) which receive untreated sanitary waste and allow the waste to percolate directly into the subsurface. EPA believes cesspools have a high potential to contaminate the aquifer. Based on these concerns, new cesspools are currently banned in all States. Where State bans presently exist, States are phasing out existing cesspools over a time."
Now we have a deep well with DEMAND, how simple does it get!! Drive the "chicken fat" to us, and we will inject it for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am not an expert on this process, I'm only a guy who asked a lot of questions to try and formulate a constructive view point of the project. What I post, is all in truth and from outside parties. Try not to be swayed from outside parties trying to postulate events of a meeting that has not happened. Just let it happen!
