Can the VDH confirm whether 12VAC5-613 complies with EPA Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) establishing minimum federal requirements for state and tribal Underground Injection Control (UIC) Programs to protect underground sources of drinking water from contamination caused by Class V injection wells or septic systems?

Do regulations includes inventory of construction, operation, and closure of injection wells? Does the inventory delineate sourcewater protection areas affected by such facilities?

Notice: a septic system is required to meet UIC Program requirements and is considered a Class V well if either one of the following conditions is met:

The septic system, regardless of size, receives any amount of industrial or commercial wastewater; or

The septic system receives solely sanitary waste from multiple family residences or a non-residential establishment and has the capacity to serve 20 or more persons per day (also known as large-capacity septic systems).
