Actually the definition of each class of well is set by the EPA, so a class I in Wyoming would be the same as one in Micigan or Utah.

There is a huge difference between class I and V wells. Somebody posted a link earlier describing the differences between the various types of well, but basically class I (hazardous waste) is disposed of below the water table (wouldn't want to get any of that stuff in the drinking water supply) and a class V (non-hazardous waste unless you drink gallons of it) well disposes of stuff above where the water table is (which requires extra-care, permits from the state who probably work with the EPA, and most importantly to not harm the water supply).

Now with the penalties recently passed by the state of Utah all class V waste not disposed of in an approved class V well face severe penalties.

Given the costs/time to get an unapproved class V well that a company uses for its own waste (which may not get approved, because it is unsafe) and the supply/demand of class V waste processing it still is a money press.
