CLRA Alberta Annual General Meeting
To support continued improvements in decision making, we’ll provide an update to our Petroleum Technology Alliance Canada (PTAC) initiative: Review of Phase 2 ESA data from past drilling waste disposal locations to better understand the effectiveness of the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) document “Assessing Drilling Waste Disposal Areas: Compliance Options for Reclamation Certification” (Compliance Options, AER 2014). North Shore and Waterline collaborated to determine if the Compliance Options: are appropriate as currently written; require adjustment to reduce false positive or negative triggers for Phase II ESAs; or are in need of other changes. Stage 1 (Data Collection), Stage 2 (Data Analysis) and Stage 3 (Draft Report) have been completed.
The intent of this presentation is to provide insight and guidance on improving decision making with respect to evaluating drilling waste disposal risk. We’ll provide an overview of the results and suggested recommendations to make the Drilling Waste Compliance Options more effective.

As many of you know from our announcement in early April, we rescheduled the Quebec Reclaim, Restore, Rewild (RE3) conference to June 19 – 24, 2021. We are disappointed to announce today that SWS will withdraw as a host of the rescheduled event due to prior conference commitments for 2021. SER and CLRA are pleased to continue their partnership with Université Laval to host this conference, which will now also serve both as SER’s 9th World Conference on Ecological Restoration (SER2021) and the 2021 CLRA National Conference & General Meeting. All three societies look forward to partnering again in the future, and we deeply hope that members from all the societies will still participate in this event as peatlands are such an important wetland component of Canada’s landscape.
