The BC Energy Regulator (BCER) is the single windowregulatory agency with responsibilities for regulating oil and gas activitiesin British Columbia. Surface Land Use is a mechanism to measure surfacedisturbances caused by oil and gas activity and identify the type and land areaattributed to historical and current oil and gas activities.<\/span><\/p> Northeast British Columbia is the location of the majority of oil and gasactivity in BC. In this area the BCER has created a dataset that represents existingoil and gas disturbance and assigns the area to 1 of 5 oil and gas activitygroups, Well/Facility, Roads, Pipelines, Associated and Ancillary (OtherRelated) Activities and Geophysical (Seismic).<\/span><\/p> Spatial data for activities submitted prior to July 2016,have been collected and processed to create a static SLU base datasets. The <\/span>BRFN SLU Data Layer (BRFN_SURFACE_LAND_USE_PY) isupdated separately <\/span><\/span>fro<\/span><\/span>m the Annual SLU dataset in coordination with theBlueberry River First Nation.<\/span><\/span><\/p> As per the Blueberry River First Nations ImplementationAgreement “New Disturbance” means, subject to any and all limitations andexclusions provided for in this definition, all (and only) Oil and GasActivity-related disturbance on Crown land outside of any permitted andexisting PNG footprint as identified in the Surface Land Use (SLU) Data Layer,including restored wells with a certificate of restoration but excluding: (i)restoration activities; (ii) health and safety activities; (iii) environmentalprotection activities; (iv) electricity transmission and distribution linerights-of-way outside of Area 1 or inside Area 1 with the consent of BRFN; (v)new operational activities within existing oil and gas related disturbances orother permanent road structures (including, without limitation, new wells onexisting pads and pipelines within established rights of way); and (vi)conversion of non-status roads to oil and gas roads, so long as such conversiondoes not include any new construction or road modification.
