Overview
Part 5 of The Oil and Gas Emissions Management Regulations specifies the Emissions Reduction Plan requirements.
Guidance
A qualifying conservation project allows for a licensee to apply for a one-year deferral of an Administrative Penalty to allow for the completion of a qualifying conservation project. The project must be completed by the end of the calendar year that follows the year in which the Administrative Penalty was deferred. Any deferral due to a Qualify Conservation Project that is not completed on time must be paid in full plus interest.
Further information on Qualifying Conservation Projects can be found in The Oil and Gas Emissions Management Regulations.
