This is what I love about the world today. Anyone who can read a webpage thinks he's an expert.

That being the case, why don't you read the LA DNR oil and gas rules and regulations? Those are the relevant ones. They are probably on their website. Or would you like me to mail you a hardcopy (some five hundred pages)?

EPA does not consider drilling mud nor crude oil a hazardous substance, and therefore is virtually never involved except in the most distastrous situations.

The states normally (LA included) on the other hand, have inspectors that confirm that injection wells are not leaking, that surface casing is up to spec, that abandoned wells have sufficient cement, etc., etc., etc.

I have drilled many and abandoned some oil and gas wells. They are permitted and inspected by the state, according to state rules. I have never once filed a federal form nor been inspected by EPA or any other federal agency nor had any interaction whatsoever.
