Class V Injection Well Requirements - **Jurisdiction:** Idaho - **Kind:** Regulations - **Status:** In force - **Text as of:** August 14, 2026 - **Source:** Compiled text - **Location:** Idaho Administrative Code / IDAPA 37 (Water Resources, Department of) / Chapter 37.03.03 / Section 035 ## Text 01. Permit Required for Class V Deep Injection Wells. No person shall construct, modify, maintain , or use a Class V deep injection well unless a permit has been issued by the Director. An application for permit mus t be completed and filed with the director on a form approved by the department accompanied by a filing fee a s specified in Section 42-3905(1), Idaho Code. Applications proposing to inject recycled water derived from municipa l or industrial wastewater sources must also adhere to all applicable IDEQ rules and permitting requirements. (7-1-25) 02. Permit Requirements for Class V Shallow Injection Wells. No person shall construct, modify , maintain, or use a Class V shallow injection well to inject recycled water derived from municipal or industria l wastewater sources unless a permit has been issued by the Director. An application for permit must be completed an d filed with the director on a form approved by the department accompanied by a filing fee as specified in Section 42- 3905(1), Idaho Code. An application for permit may be required for the construction, modification, or use of all othe r shallow injection wells if the Director determines that the injection could result in unreasonable contamination of a USDW or cause a violation of Ground Water Quality Standards that would affect a beneficial use. Application s proposing to inject recycled water derived from municipal or industrial wastewater sources must also adhere to al l applicable IDEQ rules and permitting requirements. (7-1-25) 03.
