    Regulations for disposal wells (such as wells used for injecting fracking wastewater) are designed around protecting aquifers, not seismic risk. The federal Environmental Protection Agency, which regulates oil- and gas-related disposal wells unless its cedes its authority to the states, has no seismic requirements for its disposal wells. Drilling and disposal companies do not usually know where faults in  deeper, older rocks beneath shale (the "basement") exist, as seismic surveys are costly, and states do not require them for oil or gas wells (although larger companies routinely conduct seismic tests as part of exploration).<ref>Henry Fountain, [http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/13/science/some-blame-hydraulic-fracturing-for-earthquake-epidemic.html?pagewanted=all "http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/13/science/some-blame-hydraulic-fracturing-for-earthquake-epidemic.html?pagewanted=all "Add Quakes to Rumblings Over Gas Rush,"] NY Times, December 12, 2011.</ref>

    According to E&E, oil and gas producers are exempt from a federal environmental law designed to prevent industrial waste [[injection wells]] from triggering earthquakes, although in 2012 the EPA began drafting suggestions for state regulators to minimize earthquakes caused by waste injection.<ref>Mike Soraghan, "WASTE DISPOSAL: Well construction boom comes despite drive for reuse," E&E, May 24, 2012.</ref>

    Injection wells have a range of uses that include [[carbon capture and storage|CO2 storage]], waste disposal, enhancing oil production, mining, and preventing salt water intrusion. Widespread use of injection wells began in the 1930s to dispose of brine generated during oil production. In the 1950s, chemical companies began injecting industrial wastes into deep wells. By the 1990s, injection wells were used to dispose of [[fracking wastewater]]. They are also planned for [[carbon capture and storage]].<ref name=epa/>

    Because of a regulatory determination by the EPA not to classify shale gas wastewater as “hazardous”, it is not required to be injected into Class I wells for hazardous waste, and is therefore often injected into Class II wells, which are subject to less stringent requirements than Class I hazardous waste wells. Either states or the federal EPA can take primacy in overseeing the program, but state programs must meet minimum federal UIC requirements to gain primacy.<ref name=nrdc>Rebecca Hammer, Jeanne VanBriesen, and Larry Levine, [http://www.nrdc.org/energy/fracking-wastewater.asp "In Fracking's Wake: New Rules are Needed to Protect Our Health and Environment from Contaminated Wastewater,"] Natural Resources Defense Council, May 2012 report.</ref>

    As of May 2012, the EPA [http://water.epa.gov/type/groundwater/uic/wells.cfm lists] over 150,000 Class II wells in its inventory. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, about 40,000 of those are disposal wells. The rest are wells where water is used to dislodge oil and gas and "enhance recovery" of the minerals.<ref>Mike Soraghan, "WASTE DISPOSAL: Well construction boom comes despite drive for reuse," E&E, May 24, 2012.</ref>

    [[Oxfam International]] was the first to criticize the new effort with a release titled "G8 Food Security Alliance Answers Question Hungry People Have Not Asked."<ref>States News Service, "Oxfam: G8 Food Security Alliance Answers Question Hungry People Have Not Asked," States News Service, May 18, 2012.</ref> They say that the New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition "focuses too heavily on the role of the private sector to tackle the complex challenges of food insecurity in the developing world." Instead, they called on G8 leaders to "keep the promises they have already made to help developing countries invest in sustainable solutions to hunger and poverty." They add that "While there is a positive role for the private sector in the fight against global hunger, the plan's top down approach does not reflect what many people in poor countries say they want or need" and that this new effort is "passing the buck on global hunger."

    [[Eric Holt Gimenez]] of Food First also criticized the New Alliance in an article titled "Nothing New About Ignoring Africa's Farmers."<ref>Eric Holt Gimenez, "[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/eric-holt-gimenez/africa-food-security_b_1537279.html The New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition: Nothing New About Ignoring Africa's Farmers]," Huffington Post, May 23, 2012.</ref> He wrote:
     +
     
     +
    :"There's a good reason why the 45 members of the New Alliance don't want to hear from the people actually growing the food in Africa... farmers would say that Africa is actually a rich continent and it is the continued extraction of wealth by foreign corporations that causes poverty and hunger -- that the first Green Revolution did not "bypass" Africa; it failed. A new one spearheaded by the same institutions presently spreading GMOs and land grabbing throughout the continent will do more harm than good."
     +
     
     +
    The [[Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy]] was even more harsh, calling the New Alliance a "sad excuse of an aid program."<ref>"[http://www.iatp.org/blog/201205/g-8-punts-on-food-security-…-to-the-private-sector G-8 punts on food security … to the private sector]," ''Think Forward'', May 22, 2012.</ref> They wrote:
     +
     
     +
    :"How bad is this idea? Money is money, right? Wrong! The private sector is not just like government, only a little different. It is ENTIRELY different. Corporations are accountable to their shareholders, obliged to make a profit.  They are not charities. They are bound by law, but not by the public interest... Corporations are not parties to the human rights covenants that oblige most governments to realize the universal human right to food."
