What Does UIC Stand For?
UIC stands for Underground Injection Control
UIC, or Underground Injection Control, refers to a regulatory framework implemented to manage the subsurface injection of fluids into designated geological formations. This system is essential for protecting groundwater resources by ensuring that the injected materials do not contaminate shallow aquifers. UIC programs are designed to oversee various activities, including the disposal of wastewater and the storage of hazardous substances, thereby ensuring compliance with environmental standards and promoting sustainable practices in subsurface fluid management.
