Directive 055

Replaces previous edition issued May 6, 2024

Purpose of this Directive

This directive identifies requirements for storing materials produced, generated (including waste), or used by upstream petroleum, gas, geothermal, or brine-hosted mineral resource development industries that, if released into the environment, may cause an adverse effect. The purpose is to prevent soil, groundwater, and surface water contamination. The implementation of appropriate storage practices should reduce the long-term costs associated with decontamination activities and make it easier for upstream petroleum and geothermal resource development sites to be reclaimed to conditions suitable for the next intended land use.
