Description

These requirements are supplementary to the Standard for Water-Well Testing for Coalbed Methane/Natural Gas in Coal Operations and as such contribute to the Standard’s commitment to continue protection of provincial groundwater resources and Albertans’ groundwater supplies through responsible coalbed methane development. The requirements provide consistent protocols for testing, sampling and analyzing groundwater from water wells that were pre-/post-tested as part of the Baseline Water Well Testing Program.

Description

Coalbed methane, also known as natural gas in coal, is in the early stages of development in Alberta and has significant growth potential. With this potential for development, it is necessary to obtain consistent baseline data on groundwater to ensure the protection of groundwater resources and the environment. This standard makes baseline testing a mandatory regulatory requirement.
