EPA would govern geologic sequestration of carbon dioxide under proposed regulations released yesterday. The rule would create a new class of injection wells under the authority of the Safe Drinking Water Act's Underground Injection Control program.

According to the EPA Injection Well Inventory, Arizona has over 27,700 injection wells [right]
