Participating in this Advisory Group

In order to obtain advice, recommendations and suggestions from affected or interested persons, this advisory group was formed to solicit comments on proposed changes to the UIC rules. This group will address rule changes that will be proposed for two purposes:  (1) implementation of applicable statutory changes from the 80th legislative session (House Bill 2654); and (2)  revised technical standards for the special case of Class I wells injecting nonhazardous desalination concentrate and other nonhazardous water treatment residuals from public water systems. A list of the prospective members of this advisory group is available in PDF. (Help with .PDF.)
