Description

Provides direction and guidance related to oil sands mine reclamation and closure planning, and certification. The framework is a preliminary step in defining a structured process and information requirements for oil sands mine reclamation certification. As it stands now, the Framework is not complete and requires further development before implementation. The conditions of approvals issued to each oil sands mine operator under the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act continue to provide direction for reclamation and closure planning. When completed, the Framework will support applications for reclamation certification, after which the land can be returned to the Crown.

This guide provides an overview of contaminated sites management as related to the Regulation. It applies to all contaminated sites except public or private land held, being or been used for upstream oil and gas production.
