ComplyOnSiteIs Alberta WATER hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. Alberta WATER is produced water, including brine in the AER oilfield-waste system. The waste must come from upstream facilities, wells or pipelines on that route. The code doesn’t say whether it is dangerous oilfield waste.
Dangerous oilfield waste stays on the AER route within Alberta and needs no Alberta hazardous-waste manifest unless it leaves Alberta. Record the AER code in the oilfield waste information. A regulated export also needs the federal movement assessment, and a generic industrial category doesn’t replace the AER code.
What does Alberta WATER cover?
Produced water managed as waste, including delivery to an oilfield-waste facility or class 1b disposal well, and storage at a waste facility before reuse in hydraulic fracturing. The code names the stream for the AER system. Its actual composition and properties still decide whether it is dangerous and how it is handled.
Is produced water always Alberta WATER?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| WATER | The waste comes from the AER upstream oilfield route and is this material. |
Origin matters. Waste from an unrelated industry doesn’t become oilfield waste because its material has a similar name.
