- APPENDIX 2 SUMMARY OF COMMITMENTS The Board notes throughout the decision report that Highpine has undertaken to conduct certain activities in connection with its operations that are not strictly required by the EUB’s regulations or guidelines. These undertakings are described as commitments and are summarized below. It is the Board’s view that when a company makes commitments of this nature, it has satisfied itself that these activities will benefit both the project and the public, and the Board takes these commitments into account when arriving at its decision. The Board expects the applicant, having made the commitments, to fully carry out the undertaking or advise the EUB if, for whatever reasons, it cannot fulfill a commitment. The EUB would then assess whether the circumstances regarding the failed commitment warrant a review of the original approval. The Board also notes that the affected parties have the right to request a review of the original approval if commitments made by the applicant remain unfulfilled. COMMITMENTS BY HIGHPINE
- Highpine will not flare more than eight hours in total for each well.
- Highpine will maintain roads in the EPZs to ensure that they remain passable during critical sour operations.
- Highpine will suspend operations if any roads inside the EPZs are unable to be made passable.
- Highpine will lead one full-scale emergency response exercise every year.
- Highpine will update its ERPs, including updating all resident information, and submit those updates to the EUB for review.
- Highpine will ignite an uncontrolled release within 15 minutes of sour gas reaching surface.
