Utah Class VI Rules

Utah Class VI Statute

The Division of Oil, Gas and Mining (OGM) is seeking primacy from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for Class VI Carbon Sequestration. A copy of the application is available at https://ogm.utah.gov/board-rulemaking/.  The complete primacy application was submitted to the EPA, in accordance with 40 CFR § 145.31, on December 23, 2025 and is currently in the public comment period.  For additional information you may contact Engineering and Geoscience Manager, Megan Crocker.

Primacy will give OGM regulatory oversight of the permitting, construction, operation, compliance and closure of class VI carbon sequestration wells on all lands except those designated as "Indian Country,” which the EPA will continue to regulate.

OGM’s UIC Class VI carbon sequestration well program will be funded through fees to cover the administrative costs of considering an application for a permit, regulation of storage facility construction, operations, pre-closure activities, and long-term monitoring and management of a closed UIC Class VI storage facility.
