Reclamation Certificates

Frequency of Publication
As requested
Description

Alberta’s Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act requires operators to conserve and reclaim specified land and obtain a reclamation certificate. These certificates are issued to operators when their site has been successfully reclaimed. When a site is no longer productive, the operator applies for a reclamation certificate that includes an analysis of contamination and a report detailing how contaminants were cleaned and surface issues were addressed.

Reclamation certificates issued by Environment and Parks (previously Environment and Sustainable Development) prior to March 24, 2014 for upstream oil and gas well sites and other specified lands on private land and the associated file information for the certificates (e.g., applications, reports) are available through ESAR.
