The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the state Department of Health (DOH) are the regulating agencies responsible for overseeing health and safety requirements. The EPA and DOH approve well construction and issue permits. Industry standards for type, volume and quality of discharge into the wells are set by the federal and state government agencies.
