Oil and Gas Waste Regulation (B.C. Reg. 254/2005).

The present Regulation enacts the Environmental Management Act. The Oil and Gas Waste Regulation (OGWR) authorizes waste discharges to the environment from upstream oil and gas facilities. This authorization reduces or eliminates the need for site specific waste discharge approvals or permits for facilities to which the Regulation applies. It applies to most upstream oil and gas facilities, except for larger facilities such as sour gas plants or large compressor stations. Depending on the particular waste, other regulations also apply. The text consists of 10 articles as follows: Definitions (1); Application (2); General requirements (3); Authorizations for small operations (4);Tank vapour emissions (5); Registration and authorization of operations (6); Requirements for discharges from specific operations (7); Additional information (8); Fees (9); Offence and penalty (10).
