Oil and Gas – Monitoring
The AER reminded license holders of the beginning of migratory bird season in Alberta. Licensees must: (i) adhere to their plans to protect migratory bird populations; (ii) ensure that all liquid impoundments that could potentially have an adverse impact on migratory bird populations are covered; and (iii) manage vegetation around industrial ponds and ditches as a mitigatory measure. Due to the weather-dependent changes of the bird season, licensees may be required to extend their bird-deterrent programs beyond previous implementation dates.
