What if some concerns are outside of the ERCB’s jurisdiction?
The ERCB’s jurisdiction includes matters of health, safety, environment, and operations relevant to upstream oil and gas facilities. While our jurisdiction often may cover all of your concerns, we encourage parties to discuss all of the concerns in the ADR process. ERCB staff members may only facilitate discussion on matters outside of our jurisdiction if asked by the parties involved. They may not provide any advice or opinion on these matters. Some examples of issues outside ERCB jurisdiction are dust control, traffic, compensation, and aesthetics. Keep in mind that these issues would not be ruled upon at an ERCB public hearing.
