Abstract
The initial portion of the presentation will provide an overview of regulatory steps taken by the Commission to address induced seismicity in NEBC to date, along with anticipated regulatory enhancements and oversight direction. The presentation will cover oversight measures put in place to monitor disposal activities. The remainder of the presentation will focus on the Kiskatinaw Seismic Monitoring and Mitigation Area (KSMMA) Special Project Order that the Commission introduced in May 2018. The KSMMA Special Project Order introduced a set of regulatory requirements to monitor and mitigate induced seismic events in a specified geographic area. The KSMMA portion of the presentation will focus on the unique circumstances that led to the implementation of the Special Project Order and the rational behind the various components.
