Bulletin – Invitation for Feedback – Emission Controls – Conservation
The AER sought public feedback until November 8, 2015, on a draft directive on requirements for addressing odours and emissions from heavy oil and bitumen operations in the Peace River area of Alberta, in response to concerns expressed by area residents. The draft directive was made pursuant to the recommendations made in Decision 2014 ABAER 005, and the AER’s response to the recommendations made therein.
The AER also noted that once the draft directive is finalized, subsequent changes to section 8.4 of Directive 056: Energy Development Applications and Schedules, and section 8.7.3 of Directive 060: Upstream Petroleum Industry Flaring, Incinerating, and Venting are anticipated to reference the new directive.
