Literature Review of Regional Groundwater Monitoring Systems by Petroleum Technology Alliance Canada (PTAC), March 2012.
CAPP and its member companies are committed to protecting fresh groundwater sources. As part of this commitment, CAPP member companies support the recently-released “Baseline Groundwater Monitoring Practice” for shale gas development. Under this practice, companies will participate with local Governments in establishing, where appropriate, science-based regional groundwater monitoring programs. These programs will establish baseline characteristics of the groundwater pre-development, and analyze whether changes occur over time.
