UIC INVENTORY INFORMATION:

For locations and well classes where USEPA Region 2 directly implements the UIC program, the USEPA Region 2 UIC program has developed "USEPA Region 2 Supplemental Instructions for Completing EPA Form 7520-16 (Rev. 4-19)", and a more comprehensive list of Well Types  based on USEPA reporting codes “USEPA Region 2 List of Injection Well Classes & Types.” 

Please complete and submit inventory information via the “Owner or Operator Online Form for Inventory of Injection Wells (7520-16).” Owners and operators are to read and refer to the following resources when filling out EPA Form 7520-16. The form and documents are periodically updated and may have been revised since your last use:

  • Owner or Operator Online Form for Inventory of Injection Wells (7520-16)
  • USEPA Region 2 Supplemental Instructions for Completing EPA Form 7520-16 (Rev. 4-19)
  • USEPA Region 2 List of Injection Well Classes & Types

IMPORTANT: Additional Information requirements are outlined in the Region 2 Supplemental Instructions. Submit the Additional Information via email to region2_uic@epa.gov . On the subject line, include Facility Name, Facility Address, the subject of the e-mail, and UICID Number if known. Should you know the current Case Handler for the Facility, also cc the Case Handler.

Failure to read and refer to the Region 2 Supplemental Instructions and List of Injection Well Classes & Types or to submit both EPA Form 7520-16 and the Additional Information could delay the inventory review process.
