sec.142 Site plan
A site plan for a GHG stream storage site must consist of maps, geological cross-sections, three dimensional models and other appropriate information about the site. Without limiting subsection (1) , the site plan must show each of the following— the geological structure and geochemical composition of the relevant GHG storage reservoir; the GHG storage reservoir’s properties, including the potential interaction of carbon dioxide with its rock matrix and fluids; the proposed rate of GHG stream injection; the proposed composition of the GHG streams to be injected; the expected migration pathway of the GHG streams; the operations and techniques to be used to monitor and verify the behaviour of GHG streams during the term of the GHG lease. The site plan must include any other information prescribed under a regulation. (sec.142-ssec.1) A site plan for a GHG stream storage site must consist of maps, geological cross-sections, three dimensional models and other appropriate information about the site. (sec.142-ssec.2) Without limiting subsection (1) , the site plan must show each of the following— the geological structure and geochemical composition of the relevant GHG storage reservoir; the GHG storage reservoir’s properties, including the potential interaction of carbon dioxide with its rock matrix and fluids; the proposed rate of GHG stream injection; the proposed composition of the GHG streams to be injected; the expected migration pathway of the GHG streams; the operations and techniques to be used to monitor and verify the behaviour of GHG streams during the term of the GHG lease. (sec.142-ssec.3) The site plan must include any other information prescribed under a regulation.
