Where do I find information on compliance for drilling waste disposal to obtain a reclamation certificate?
Depending on the information available, there are two Compliance Option checklists to complete to determine if the site is compliant for drilling waste disposal. If there is insufficient information to complete the checklists, a Phase II environmental site assessment (ESA) must be conducted. As well, the checklists contain some question responses that require a Phase II ESA to determine if the site is compliant. The guidance document,Assessing Drilling Waste Disposal Areas: Compliance Options for Reclamation Certification (AENV 2007), provides information and questions to determine if the drilling waste disposal was compliant.
