If EPA makes its approval final, Lambda Energy Resources LLC may inject
fresh water into a rock formation 3136 feet below the surface through a well at
NW %, Section 12, 24N, 5W, Missaukee County. Lambda Energy Resources
LLC must also apply for a permit from the Michigan Department of
Environment, Great Lakes & Energy (MDEGLE).

EPA is accepting comments from the public on this proposed permit approval
(see box, left). The public comment period includes 60 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 the
MDEGLE, P.O. Box 30256, Lansing, Michigan 48909 and phone number
(517)284-6826.
