Description
A Pre-Disturbance Assessment and Conservation & Reclamation Plan (PDA/C&R Plan) is required under an Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act approval for an enhanced recovery in-situ oil sands and heavy oil processing plant and oil production site. The plan serves to standardize the collection and reporting of pre-disturbance assessment data as well as the conservation & reclamation plans supported by the data. The goals of this document are to: assist approval holders in standardizing procedures, planning, and reporting for PDA/C&R plans; provide specific guidelines for data collection, reporting and conservation and reclamation planning to approval holders; support preparation and submission of consistent PDA/C&R Plans; and facilitate Alberta Environment's review of PDA/C&R Plans.
