Oil and Gas – Environment
On September 7, 2023, the AER reminded licensees of the beginning of the migratory bird season in Alberta and their responsibility to follow waterfowl protection plans to protect migratory bird populations. Licensees must adhere to their plans and ensure that all liquid impoundments within their facilities that could potentially have an adverse impact on migratory bird populations are covered. The timing for migratory bird season can change annually depending on the weather, which may require licensees to extend their bird-deterrent programs past the previous or typical dates.
