Online UIC injection well registration

Online registration

Registrations for UIC wells that manage stormwater must be submitted 60 days prior to well construction

We revised the timing of when you need to submit a UIC registration in our 2019 revisions to the stormwater manuals. Beginning on Oct. 1, 2019, while in the design process of a new project proposing to manage stormwater with UIC wells, you must submit a registration at least 60 days prior to beginning well construction.

• Stormwater Management Manual for Eastern Washington - UIC BMP (2019)
• Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington 

Projects with at least 30 percent design completed on Oct. 1 can continue to use the 2006 Guidance for UIC wells that Manage Stormwater and you must submit registration prior to construction. After Dec. 1, 2019, the UIC BMPs in 2019 stormwater manuals will supersede the 2006 Guidance.
