The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency plans to develop regulations for geologic sequestration of CO2. Once completed, the regulations are expected to ensure what the EPA said would be a "consistent and effective" permit system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. The Act established the Underground Injection Control (UIC) program to allow the safe injection of fluids into the subsurface of deep rock formations so as not to endanger current or future underground sources of drinking water. EPA is working with the Department of Energy as it carries out its research and plans to propose regulatory changes to the UIC program in 2008.
