An Underground Injection Control Class 2 Well in Putnam County, WV
This short video presents a narrative description of a Class 2 UIC well facility in Putnam county. We believe many features of the facility's design help prevent ground and surface water contamination from activities at the facility such as unloading of fluid, storage of fluid, and pumping fluid. Unfortunately, few commercial and non-commercial UIC Class 2 facilities in West Virginia show these features. Storage tanks often sit on bare soil, unloading of fluid is performed over soil or gravel, and so on.
More information about the injection well as well as photographs taken at the same time as the video was shot can be seen on this page on this site. Sidebar links on that page go to pages providing more information about UIC Class 2 in West Virginia.
