Suffield National Wildlife Area Needs Your Support: Help Protect It From Further Drilling Activity

Alberta Wilderness Association

Action Alert: November 1, 2005

The Issue

EnCana Corporation is proposing to drill up to 1275 new shallow sweet gas wells within the Canadian Forces Base Suffield National Wildlife Area (NWA) over a three-year period, essentially doubling the existing 1154 gas wells installed over the past 30 years. The NWA was designated to ensure critical habitat protection for species at risk and reverse habitat loss and fragmentation trends by increasing protected habitat outside National Parks.

AWA's position is that no further industrial development should be allowed in a protected area. Concerned citizens and groups are calling for a public panel review as part of the environmental assessment. This area is of national and international significance, and wildlife values must take priority. AWA's goals are to reduce footprint in the area; restore wellsites, pipelines, and other disturbances; and establish timelines for phasing out energy production in sensitive areas. Read More

EnCana Corporation - Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Suffield National Wildlife Area Natural Gas Infill Development Project
Suffield, Canadian Forces Base (AB)

EnCana Corporation is proposing to drill up to 1275 new shallow gas wells within the boundary of the Canadian Forces Base Suffield National Wildlife Area (NWA) over a three-year period, essentially doubling the existing 1154 gas wells installed over the past 30 years. The proposal would see the development of a maximum of 16 wells per 640-acre section. Associated with these wells will be pipelines to connect the wells to existing and new infrastructure for delivery to market using low-impact ploughing equipment and conventional ditching techniques. The infill drilling proposed under this Project is necessary to efficiently produce the sweet shallow gas reserves within the NWA, located by previous drilling programs. The Project is anticipated to fulfill all the infill development necessary in the NWA..."

Friends of Leduc Area Greenspace Introduction

To Whom It May Concern,

A fair portion of the environmentally sensitive land in Leduc County (including the North Saskatchewan River valley) has enjoyed some protection for the past twenty years under a well thought out Municipal Development Plan and synchronized Land Use Bylaw. Sure, the council violated the statutory plan from time to time but show me a County where that doesn't happen...

That level of protection is about to plummet. All environmentally sensitive land in Leduc County is now 'under the gun'. Please forward this email to all parties in your organization that have an interest in what happens in the North Saskatchewan River valley and other environmentally sensitive lands in Leduc County.
