WRITTEN QUESTION 11-17(4): FLARING AT PETROLEUM EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION SITES

Bob Bromley

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister of Environment and Natural Resources.

What standards will be in place in the NWT to govern gas flaring at petroleum exploration and production sites of horizontal fracking operations?

Is the release of toxic emissions, including carcinogenic gases, allowed under regulations, and what will be the regulatory limits for toxic emissions, including volatile organic compounds, carcinogenic gases and other related fracking emissions at flaring sites?

What will be the minimum safe distances for location of homes or human activity from carcinogenic emission sites, and what regulatory measures are in place to cordon off safe distances from sites for humans and animals?

How are the greenhouse gas emissions of flaring being estimated?

Mahsi.
