Public Notice: EPA Approves Permits for Wabash Carbon Services Underground Injection Wells in Indiana’s Vigo and Vermillion Counties

Summary

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued permits that allow Wabash Carbon Services LLC to construct two wells for injection and storage of carbon dioxide underground, one at a site in Vermillion County and another in Vigo County, Indiana. Following extensive review and public participation, EPA determined that the wells meet all requirements for approval. Under the permits, a separate approval from EPA is required before injection can begin and the agency will maintain robust oversight. The underground injection wells will be used to store carbon dioxide that has been captured prior to release to the atmosphere from fertilizer production, reducing emissions that contribute to climate change.
