• Each First Nation and Metis Settlement will identify the sites and associated spending that will be eligible for site rehabilitation work using their allocation. o When an agreement is reached with a Licensee to complete closure work on a site using the allocation, the First Nation or Metis Settlement will enter this information on an allocation tracker. o Eligible closure work spending is for abandonment, Phase 1 environmental site assessments (ESAs), Phase 2 ESAs, remediation or reclamation work activities. o First Nations and Metis Settlements can pool their allocation to fund work on sites. If this is the case, Contractors will be required to submit two applications – one application for each First Nation and Metis Settlement and request the specific grant amount approved by each of them. o First Nations and Metis Settlements can choose to allocate their funds to a site that is located nearby off the First Nation reserve or Metis Settlement. • First Nations, Metis Settlements, and Licensees cannot apply for funding. Contractors who are oil field service (OFS) companies can work with the First Nation and Metis Settlement and contract with the Licensees to do closure activities and apply for an SRP grant to do the work. o Projects are eligible for up to 50 per cent grant funding of the OFS/Licensee or OFS/WIP contract value. The Licensee/WIP is responsible for paying the remaining 50 per cent. o Grant funding will be increased up to 100 per cent of the OFS/Licensee or OFS/WIP contract value if the applicant qualifies for Indigenous business incentives – as set out in the Indigenous Company Criteria section below.
• Applicants will be able to identify as either an Indigenous company or as a prime
contractor that is hiring Indigenous sub-contractors, as part of their grant application. The SRP criteria for being considered an Indigenous company is outlined in the Indigenous Company Criteria section below.
