Where can I find information on wellsite reclamation or clean up?
Alberta’s Upstream Oil and Gas Reclamation and Remediation Program ensures that land used for oil and gas development is restored to a productive state. The program, developed in consultation with landowners, industry and other affected stakeholders, requires all upstream oil and gas sites on private and public land to be reclaimed when a site is no longer productive. Alberta Environment is responsible for reclamation of private land and Alberta Sustainable Resource Development for public land. Alberta Environment oversees the development of guidelines and documentation used to administer these parallel programs. For more information, visit Alberta Environment’s website on Land.
