The EPA requires that closures of all Class V injection wells are conducted in a manner that protects underground sources of drinking water and complies with all applicable laws and regulations related to removal of materials from the well and adjacent to the well. 

The EPA is likely to approve a closure plan if it complies with exclusive nor exhaustive set of requirements. Closure plans are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and may necessitate additional information or requirements to receive EPA approval. Furthermore, the information is not required in all circumstances to obtain EPA approval, nor does the list
obviate a regulated entity from satisfying any other applicable statutory or regulatory
requirements under the Safe Drinking Water Act.

The Municipalities and Government have some very strict guidelines on well closures. You just do not throw a cap on it and walk away from it.
