The Permittee, <br />as authorized by this Permit, shall not construct, operate, <br />maintain, convert, plug, abandon, or conduct any other injection <br />activity in a manner that allows the movement of fluid containing <br />any contaminant into underground sources of drinking water, if <br />the presence of that contaminant may cause a violation of any <br />primary drinking water regulation under 40 CFR, Part 192 or <br />otherwise adversely affect the health of persons. Any <br />underground injection activity not authorized in this Permit or <br />otherwise authorized by Permit or Rule is prohibited. Issuance <br />of this Permit does not convey property rights of any sort or any <br />exclusive privilege; nor does it authorize any injury to persons <br />or property, any invasion of other private rights, or any <br />infringement of State or local law or regulations. Compliance <br />with the terms of this Permit does not constitute a defense to <br />any enforcement action brought under the provisions of Section <br />1431 of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) or any other law <br />governing protection of public health or the environment for any <br />'imminent and substantial endangerment to human health, or the <br />environment, nor does it serve as a shield to the Permittee's <br />independent obligation to comply with all UIC regulations. <br />B.
