Solution Mining
Underground injection is the technology of placing fluids underground, in porous formations of rocks, through wells or other similar conveyance systems. In mining operations, fluids can be injected into the ground to dissolve substances and then sucked back up to be used for industrial purposes. The RRC regulates brine mining operations and injection wells. TCEQ regulates disposal by underground injection.
