Reclamation Applications – Bulletin – Statement of Concern
The AER announced that, effective immediately, it implemented changes to Section 8.0 (landowner contact requirements) of the 2010 Reclamation Criteria for Wellsites and Associated Facilities Application Guidelines (“Guidelines”) to make the process consistent with the AER’s own processes under the Responsible Energy Development Act for filing statements of concern.
Accordingly, in lieu of providing a copy of the “Upstream Oil and Gas Facility Complaint Form” to affected parties, applicants must instead provide a copy of the following:
-
EnerFAQs “Expressing Your Concern – How to File a Statement of Concern About an Energy Resources Project”;
-
The form “Statement of Concern About an Energy Resource Project”; and
-
Once an application has been submitted to the AER, a copy of the public notice of application from the AER website.
The AER noted that the remainder of the Guidelines continue to apply.
