Injection Well

Yes. Injection wells in Idaho are regulated at both the state level through IDWR and at the federal level through the EPA's Underground Injection Control (UIC) program. All injection wells require permits and must be constructed to prevent contamination of underground sources of drinking water. Trident Drilling reviews applicable regulatory requirements before beginning any injection well project.

In Northern Idaho, the most common injection well applications include stormwater infiltration systems that manage surface runoff on commercial or industrial properties, and environmental remediation projects that reintroduce treated groundwater. Agricultural and commercial developments with drainage management requirements may also require injection systems as part of a permit condition.

Before drilling can begin, an injection well project typically requires a permit from IDWR, registration or permit under the EPA's UIC program (depending on well class), and in many cases a review by an environmental engineer to confirm design specifications meet regulatory requirements. Trident Drilling handles the drilling component and coordinates with the applicable regulatory framework — contact (208) 683-7455 to discuss your project.
