EPA Seeks Comments on Draft
Underground Injection Permit
Savoy Energy, L.P.
Calhoun County, Michigan
The U. S. Environmental
Protection Agency plans to allow
Savoy Energy, L.P. P.O. Box
1560, Traverse City, MI 49685 to
inject fluid underground by
approving the company's
application for what EPA calls a
Class II injection well permit.
If EPA makes its approval final,
Savoy Energy, L.P. may inject
brine into a rock formation 2456
feet below the surface through a
well at NE % , Section 34, T3S, R8W, Calhoun County. Savoy Energy, L.P.
also must apply for a permit from the Michigan Department of Environment,
Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE).
EPA is accepting comments from the public on this proposed permit approval
(see box, left). The public comment period, which ends September 25, 2019
includes 30 days for comments as required by law, plus an additional three days
for any delay caused by mailing.
During the comment period, you may ask EPA - in writing - to hold a formal
public hearing (see address, left). Be sure to say specifically what issues you
want to raise. EPA will hold a hearing if there is significant interest. If there is a
hearing, EPA will publish a notice at least 30 days prior. You will have an
opportunity to make oral comments or submit written comments. EPA will
consider all comments it receives, and then issue a final decision along with a
response to significant comments.
The Safe Drinking Water Act requires EPA to regulate the underground
injection of fluids through wells to protect the quality of underground sources of
drinking water. Issuing permits is one way EPA does this. You can find the
regulations governing underground injection wells at Title 40 of the Code of
Federal Regulations, Parts 144 and 146.
EPA does not have the authority to change the surface location of the injection
well. If you have questions or concerns about the well's location, contact
EGLE, P.O. Box 30256, Lansing, Michigan 48909 and phone number
(517) 284-6826. To learn more about EPA's Underground Injection Control
program, or to join our mailing list visit http://go.usa.gov/3 JwFP.
