Regulatory Compliance

The Alberta Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act (EPEA) is a key legislation in Alberta, Canada, governing environmental protection, conservation, and enhancement. The EPEA empowers the provincial government to establish regulations and standards related to air and water quality, waste management, contaminated sites, wildlife conservation, and environmental assessments. It requires individuals and businesses to comply with these regulations, obtain necessary permits, and implement measures to minimize environmental impacts. The EPEA aims to promote sustainable development while ensuring the protection of Alberta's natural resources and ecosystems, and it provides the government with the authority to monitor compliance and enforce penalties for non-compliance.

The Alberta Air Monitoring Directive (AMD) sets out the requirements for monitoring and reporting air quality in the province of Alberta, Canada. It ensures operational consistency and credibility of air quality monitoring data. The directive covers aspects such as site selection, equipment specifications, data quality, calibration, and reporting. By adhering to the AMD, Alberta aims to safeguard air quality and promote environmental protection. 

The CEMS Code is designed to ensure accurate and consistent monitoring of emissions from industrial facilities. It applies to various sectors, including oil and gas, power generation, manufacturing, and more. The code outlines requirements for continuous monitoring systems used to measure emissions such as sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM), and greenhouse gases (GHGs). It plays a crucial role in monitoring and managing emissions to protect the environment and human health.

Multi-Sector Air Pollutants Regulations encompass a comprehensive framework designed to mitigate the adverse effects of air pollution originating from various industrial sectors. These regulations aim to establish stringent standards and guidelines to control emissions of pollutants such as particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds, and heavy metals across diverse industries including manufacturing, transportation, energy production, and agriculture. By imposing limits on pollutant emissions, implementing advanced pollution control technologies, and promoting cleaner production practices, these regulations seek to safeguard public health, preserve environmental quality, and mitigate climate change impacts.

GHGRP was established to track and regulate greenhouse gas emissions from various sources across the country. Through the GHGRP, industrial facilities, power plants, refineries, and other entities are required to report their emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and other greenhouse gases. The deadline for GHGRP reporting is June each year. 

The Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA) is a federal law that aims to prevent pollution and protect the environment and human health in Canada. CEPA establishes the national goal of pollution prevention and adheres to the precautionary principle. It covers various aspects of environmental protection, including toxic substances, pollutants, biotechnology, emergencies, and land use. The Act requires the Government of Canada to cooperate with other levels of government and the public, promoting transparency and public participation through mechanisms like the Environmental Registry.
