ALBERTA
LEADS WAY
IN
RECLAMATION SIGN-OFF...
Six Alberta professional regulatory organizations have
devised a precedent-setting system of signing off on well site reclamation and
remediation.
The approach, which involves a joint practice standard and
a joint board, could become a template for other approval systems – in Alberta
and across Canada.

GUIDELINES UPDATE CONTINUES
In the last three and a half years, 21 APEGGA practice standards and guidelines
have been revised or created to help members in the practice of their professions.
The APEGGA Practice Standards Committee strives to ensure none of its documents
have been more than five years without revision. Only two now fall in that category.
And Council recently approved two others for publication.
