• Rules. The federal rules that apply to underground injection are in effect in Montana. Montana has also established its own state-specific underground injection well program that covers Class II wells. See the national section UNDERGROUND INJECTION WELLS for additional information about the federal rules.
• Administration and enforcement. EPA Region 8 enforces the hazardous waste UIC regulations in Montana because DEQ has not been delegated primary enforcement responsibility for Class I, III, IV, and V wells. The Board does have the lead enforcement role for the UIC program for oil- and gas-related injection wells on nontribal lands.
