Since the announcement of Alberta Environment's "Baseline Water Well Testing Standard" in April 2006, the Pembina Institute has received important feedback from a number of landowners. We wish to make clear our perspective on this standard in light of the comments expressed to us.
We continue to support Alberta Environment’s decision to introduce on May 1, 2006 a mandatory requirement that companies conduct baseline testing of nearby water wells before drilling a shallow coalbed methane (CBM) well.
