Reclamation criteria for wellsites and associated facilities for peatlands [2017]

Description

The aim of reclamation under the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act is to obtain "equivalent land capacity," which is defined as the ability of the land to support various land uses after conservation and reclamation similar to the ability that existed prior to activity being conducted on the land. This document provides the reclamation certification criteria for wellsites, access roads, and associated facilities reclaimed to peatlands. The criteria are based on land function and operability that will support the production of goods and services consistent in quality and quantity with the surrounding landscape.
