Description
d. Injection wells used for in situ

recovery of phosphate, uraniferous
sandstone, clay, sand, and other
minerals extracted by the borehole
slurry mining method.
Group 5
a. Drainage wells used to drain surface
fluid, primarily storm runoff or lake
level (by gravity flow) into a
subsurface formation.
Group 6
a. Injection wells associated with the
recovery of geothermal energy for
heating, aqua-culture, and production
of electric power.
b. Other wells.
e)
Classification and permitting requirements of
injection well (which will likely require a complete
characterization of the wastewater to determine which aquifer
systems are acceptable for underground injection).
f)
A groundwater monitoring program (if applicable)
to demonstrate compliance with Federal Underground Injection
Control (UIC) rules. This program may include several monitoring
wells completed to various depths, designed to monitor possible
migration of the injected fluids).
g)
Additional design considerations, including high
well level alarms, continuous head monitoring, downhole flow
metering per individual well, and potential groundwater
geochemical interactions.

Design Details Determined During Installation. Several
final design details are determined during well installation,
including the following:
