It’s very important that this salt water doesn’t contaminate underground sources of drinking water. In the US, the disposal of salt water is tightly regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency and state governments. The only approved method of salt water disposal is through Class II injection wells. A well must meet strict criteria to be approved as a Class II disposal site. Regulatory approval has been granted by the Texas authorities (documentation can be provided upon request).
