Does a Class Ia disposal project on a petrochemical site always need D058?
Archive Findings
No. Historical records indicate that surface facilities associated with a Class Ia well may require D058. However, as an example, as petrochemical site is not an AER-regulated site, a D058 approval is not required.

Confirm who regulates the site and what waste is being handled before selecting the application path. For industrial or petrochemical waste, document the AER versus provincial environmental approval boundary.
Current Guidance
Use Directive 058 and Manual 034 for AER-regulated oilfield waste management. If the site or waste stream falls outside AER upstream jurisdiction, confirm the applicable provincial environmental approval path.
