环保署就犹他州六类注入井监管权下放征求意见 评论期至12月7日
美国环保署（EPA）10月22日发布拟议规则，就犹他州申请接管六类（Class VI）地下注入井的首要执法监管权（primacy）征求公众意见。六类井用于把工业二氧化碳注入深层岩层长期封存，是碳捕集与封存技术的一环。
犹他州已于2025年12月23日依据《安全饮用水法》第1422条提交申请；若获批准，犹他州油气与矿业厅（UDOGM）将可按联邦地下注入控制计划的要求，自行审批州内六类井的注入许可。
环保署表示，书面意见须在2026年12月7日前经联邦公报案卷（案卷号 EPA-HQ-OW-2026-0496）提交，线上听证会定于12月1日下午5时至7时（山地时间）举行，每位发言者有三分钟陈述时间，需要口译或无障碍安排者须在11月17日前登记。碳封存被视为能源与工业减排的工具之一，监管权由联邦下放州政府后，审批可望加快，但地下水源保护标准不因此降低，环保署仍保留监督角色。

EPA Seeks Comment on Utah Class VI Well Primacy; Comment Period Runs Through December 7
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a proposed rule on October 22 seeking public comment on Utah's application to take over primary enforcement authority (primacy) for Class VI underground injection wells. Class VI wells inject industrial carbon dioxide into deep rock formations for long-term storage and are part of carbon capture and storage technology.
Utah submitted its application on December 23, 2025, under Section 1422 of the Safe Drinking Water Act. If approved, the Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining (UDOGM) will be able to issue permits for Class VI wells in the state itself, under the requirements of the federal Underground Injection Control program.
The EPA said written comments must be submitted by December 7, 2026, through the Federal Register docket (docket no. EPA-HQ-OW-2026-0496). A virtual hearing is scheduled for December 1 from 5 to 7 p.m. Mountain Time, with each speaker allotted three minutes; those needing interpretation or accessibility accommodations must register by November 17. Carbon storage is viewed as one tool for cutting energy and industrial emissions; devolving permitting to the state is expected to speed approvals, while groundwater protection standards remain unchanged and the EPA retains an oversight role.
