Recent experiences with our clients have demonstrated that regulatory agencies are increasingly focusing on the issue of Class V Injection Wells (such as septic systems, cesspools, dry wells, etc.), including motor vehicle waste disposal wells (drains that are present in vehicle repair shops which are not connected to a municipal sewer system).
