Landowner resistance seems to have quashed an Alberta government pilot program offering energy companies partial recognition for well site cleanup that isn’t complete.
The Well Site Reduction program would certify reclamation for a site that meets environmental standards, even if it isn’t fully cleaned up or if it’s still operating.
Five months after the program opened for applications, no companies have asked to join it.
The program requires permission from the affected landowner.
