The U.S. Department of Energy, via the Geothermal Technologies Program, maintains a great list on geothermal laws and standards covering geothermal development and utilization in the U.S.

Having stumbled upon a great list of various geothermal laws and standards in the U.S., I thought it might be worth sharing.

Great Overview on legislation and standards covering:

Mineral lands and Mining
Conservation
Public Health and Welfare
Standards: among them field development, utilization and materials
