o For example, one work activity may involve several sub-contractors who are receiving individual grants – such as line locators, equipment operators, and trucking firms. Each of these companies would have their own scope of work and would need to describe it clearly in their OFS contract. • Conversely, a Prime Contractor may apply for all of the closure work required for one work activity on a site, however, they must identify their sub-contractors in the OFS contract and when making an application. • One application for the same work activity on multiple sites with the same Licensee Business Associate (BA) code will be accepted. However, it is important to keep in mind as part of your project planning, that you can only submit one interim and one final payment request for each grant. o For example, a Licensee/WIP may contract with one Contractor to conduct abandonment activities at fifteen different sites. • As noted in the SRP Program Guidelines, the SRP does not fund work on active sites. As such, multi-well pads that have an operating well(s) are not eligible for grant funding. Remediation and reclamation work activities are eligible for grant funding if all wells on a multi-well pad have been abandoned prior to submitting an application. • Identical work activities at the same site that have received grant funding in this or any previous application periods are not eligible for additional grants.

There are approximately 70,000 abandoned sites awaiting surface reclamation in Alberta.
