Injection Induced Seismicity Region 6 was the technical lead, through the EPA UIC National Technical Workgroup, on a Headquarters requested project to provide recommendations to them related to injection induced seismicity. This product was finalized on 2/6/15 and a link to the product appears below. http://www.epa.gov/region5/water/uic/ntwg/pdfs/induced-seismicity-201502.pdf

Technical Assistance Region 6 continues to provide assistance to EPA HQ, other Regions and States. Falloff test review for various well classes Step-rate test review for various well classes Input on no migration petition reviews Radioactive tracer and temperature survey reviews

Technical Training Region 6 has developed training courses that have been presented to diverse audiences. Presentation of these courses are typically available upon request. The Nuts and Bolts of Falloff Testing A Primer of Hydraulic Fracturing in Injection Wells A Primer to Step Rate Testing Calculating the Maximum Allowable Surface Injection Pressure (MASIP) Temperature and Radioactive Tracer Logs Aquifer Exemptions for In-Situ Leach Mining

Technical Training (continued) Region 6 has instructed at the National UIC Inspector Training Course for the last 23 years
