Description

Alberta Environment and Parks and the Alberta Energy Regulator manage the use of public lands for all Albertans through the issuance of dispositions. A disposition must be obtained under the Public Lands Act for any access to or activity on public lands and in compliance with the Public Lands Administration Regulation. The Master Schedule of Standards and Conditions (MSSC) identifies conditions that apply to formal disposition applications approved under the Public Land Act. Conditions displayed in this document are part of multiple approval systems and processes. The MSSC updates and replaces two previous departmental condition documents: the Integrated Standards and Guidelines for the Enhanced Approvals Process disposition applications and the Master Schedule of Conditions that addressed disposition applications for any remaining public lands disposition applications.
