环保署提议批准阿拉斯加接管二氧化碳封存井许可权：45天征求意见期开启
美国环境保护署（EPA）11月2日发布提案，拟批准阿拉斯加州接管该州六类（Class VI）地下注入井的许可管理权。这类井把工业与能源生产产生的二氧化碳注入地下深层岩层封存，许可依据是联邦《安全饮用水法》。
环保署在提案中说，联邦政府10月27日已宣布这一拟议批准。经初步审查，阿拉斯加州的地下注入控制（UIC）项目符合批准的全部要求；提案如获最终批准，阿拉斯加州将按该法实施并执行这一项目。
环保署第十区区长 Emma Pokon 说：「在特朗普领导的环保署，我们相信阿拉斯加人比华盛顿特区办公楼里的人更懂自己的能源需求，也更懂如何保护本州的空气、土地和水。」她表示，这一提案如获批准，将把许可权交给阿拉斯加州，让该州在保护地下饮用水源的同时生产更多能源。
环保署正就这一提案征求公众意见，为期45天，并将举行一场线上公众听证会。提案如最终生效，阿拉斯加油气保护委员会（AOGCC）将负责签发六类井许可证并监督合规。
阿拉斯加油气保护委员会委员 Jessie Chmielowski 表示，该委员会重视与环保署的合作关系，相信取得六类井许可管理权后，能在该委员会现有二类井监管经验的基础上，确保阿拉斯加州的地质碳封存项目安全、负责任、合规地推进。
环保署说，自2025年以来，该署已批准 West Virginia、Texas、Arizona 与 Colorado 四州的六类井许可管理权，迄今共有七个州取得这一权限，另有更多州在推进中。这项工作部分资金来自环保署与联邦许可改进指导委员会之间的一项跨部门协议。

EPA Proposes Granting Alaska Primacy Over Carbon Sequestration Well Permits: 45-Day Comment Period Opens
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on November 2 issued a proposal to approve Alaska's request to administer permitting for Class VI underground injection wells in the state under the Safe Drinking Water Act. Class VI wells are used to inject carbon dioxide from industrial processes and energy production into deep underground rock formations for geologic sequestration.
EPA said the proposed approval was announced on October 27. Based on the agency's preliminary review, Alaska's Underground Injection Control (UIC) program meets all requirements for approval, and the state would implement and enforce the program consistent with the Act.
"At the Trump EPA, we believe that the people of Alaska know their energy needs and how to protect their air, land, and water better than anyone sitting in an office building in Washington, DC," said EPA Region 10 Administrator Emma Pokon. She said the proposal, if finalized, would give Alaska the ability to produce more energy while protecting underground sources of drinking water.
EPA is seeking comment on the proposed action for 45 days and will host a virtual public hearing. If finalized, the approval would allow the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) to issue Class VI permits and enforce compliance for wells used for geologic carbon sequestration.
AOGCC Commissioner Jessie Chmielowski said the commission values its working relationship with EPA and believes securing Class VI primacy will build on its existing Class II regulatory expertise and help ensure the safe, responsible and compliant development of geologic carbon storage projects in Alaska.
Since 2025, EPA has approved Class VI primacy for West Virginia, Texas, Arizona and Colorado, and seven states have now received primacy for Class VI wells, with more coming, the agency said. The work was made possible in part by funding provided to EPA through an interagency agreement with the Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council.
