OSTI ID:5289236
Illinois state legislation enacted in 1984 required that the Department of Energy and Natural Resources conduct an in-depth assessment of the regulations and regulatory practices of the Illinois Underground Injection Control (UIC) program as it relates to injection of industrial wastes (hazardous types) in Class I waste disposal wells. The objectives of the assessment are to determine whether underground injection is an appropriate method of waste disposal in Illinois and to provide recommendations to the Legislature, Legislative Council, Governor's office and state agencies concerning the disposal practice.
