EPA to review Texas' oversight of Class II injection wells due to environmental concerns.

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will review Texas' oversight of wells used for wastewater and carbon dioxide injection related to oil drilling, following substantial concerns from environmental groups. Texas has authority to permit "Class II" injection wells for drilling wastewater disposal and enhancing oil recovery. The EPA's review was announced in a May 23 letter, after nine Texas-based environmental and watchdog groups led by Commission Shift and Clean Water Action requested it in March.
