Certification of Restoration I and II Applications
For over 28 years, Highmark Environmental Services has successfully completed hundreds of Certificates of Restoration (CoR) Parts I and II applications. Our experience and strong relationship with Provincial Regulators allow us the expertise to reduce timelines and complete complex projects while being cost efficient.
Development and Reclamation Plans
Highmark Environmental Services prepares development, and reclamation plans for all upstream oilfield projects (well sites and ancillary developments). Reclamation plans are developed in accordance with Ecologically Suitable Species Guidelines, while also incorporating local, traditional, and Indigenous knowledge.
Surface Reclamation
Highmark Environmental Services not only has the experience and qualifications to manage the surface reclamation of upstream oil and gas sites, but can supply the heavy equipment to perform the earth works. Our technicians have the training and experience to perform surface reclamation activities from the ground to the seat of a dozer or excavator. This streamlines operations and reduces future site visits.
Seeding and Weed Management
Successful completion of the reclamation process requires healthy and uniform vegetation reestablishment across all disturbed areas. The site must be contoured to match adjacent undisturbed lands, with topsoil evenly redistributed. Re-vegetation must be completed using a landowner-approved seed mix on private land, or in accordance with Ecologically Suitable Species Guidelines set by the British Columbia Energy Regulator on Crown land, to support a successful Certificate of Restoration (CoR) Part II application.
Erosion Control and Monitoring
Highmark Environmental Services has used innovative techniques to stabilize disturbed sites. Projects include:
-
riparian restoration
-
sediment control
-
spill remediation projects
-
slope stabilization on newly constructed pipelines, well sites, and access
Stabilized sites speed up habitat enhancement and reduce future liability issues often associated with siltation into waterbodies.
Gas Migration and Surface Casing Vent Testing
Not only is gas migration testing a requirement prior to abandonment, it gives peace of mind to the operator, ensuring that the well bore is structurally sound and future remediation costs will be minimized.
