Description

Reliable water supplies for a sustainable economy is one of the key goals of Water for Life, Alberta’s strategy for water sustainability. This policy takes a place-based approach to water management, guiding industry working in naturally water-short areas and areas with development pressures to maximize water conservation efforts. The ultimate goal of the policy and accompanying guideline is to reduce or eliminate allocation of non-saline water for oilfield injection, while respecting the rights of current licence holders.

Description

In 1987 a detailed inventory of NOx sources was completed for the province, as part of the Acid Deposition Research Project (ADRP). This project included identification of the source and technology, location, and estimation of emissions. In 1988, Informational Letter 88-5 (IL 88-5) was jointly issued by the Energy Resources Conservation Board (now the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board) and Alberta Environment. For the first time in Alberta, this document required the use of low NOx technology for reciprocating engines. In December 1992 the CCME issued the National Emission Guidelines for Stationary Combustion Turbines, which applied to new turbine engines. It is desired that the penetration of the technologies prescribed in these Guidelines and other low NOx technologies be determined for Alberta.
