If you think it's an issue, go talk to the EPA, they approve all the of the deep injection wells used for waste containment.

Edit: Actually, something doesn't make sense, the type of well described has been banned in the US[1]

[1]Inject hazardous or radioactive wastes into or above USDWs. These wells are banned unless authorized under a federal or state ground water remediation project.

All of the momentum in the US economy right now is rooted in the natural gas boom (fracking). Nobody is going to touch it.

I don't think you understand the scale of the US economy.
