Description

This IH DIZ EPEA: Guide for Renewal Applications is only valid for Industrial Heartland Designated Industrial Zone facilities during the renewal of EPEA approval. A new facility application or amendment requires the full extent of information submission as required in the Guide to Content for Industrial Approval Applications. After ten years of continued operations, a renewal application is required for facilities in the zone with EPEA approvals. The IH DIZ EPEA Guide for Renewal Applications, therefore, streamlines the information requirements only to encompass a review of changes to the plant over the previous operating period and a general evaluation of plant performance concerning approval requirements and changes to standards. The implementation of this document will reduce the time to process EPEA renewal applications in the zone from an average of eighteen months to six months following the submission of a complete application.

Description

This quantification protocol is written for the oil and gas industry where methane that is normally vented is capture and either conserved or combusted to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The protocol provides a methodology to quantify the greenhouse gas emission reductions from capturing vented methane. Since methane has a much higher global warming potential than carbon dioxide this protocol has the potential to enable project developers to achieve significant reductions and generate emission offsets.

Description

An air quality modelling assessment is usually undertaken as part of the approval process to understand the impact of industrial activity on the surrounding ambient air. The Air Quality Model Guideline provides guidance on the appropriate modelling to be undertaken in Alberta when one of these assessments are required. Also included are three companion documents. The first provides clarification on interpreting modelling results for typical emission scenarios, when required by the guideline. The second provides a companion spreadsheet for determining whether or not the modelling terrain is considered complex as per Section 3.0 of the guideline. The third provides stakeholder comments to the original draft guideline [2020] and Environment and Parks response to these comments.
