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.
