Description of the Applications

Canadian Natural Resources  Limited has applied under OSCA and EPEA to waive the requirements of  ID2001-03 for Q3 2021 and to temporarily increase the daily sulphur dioxide (SO2)  emissions limit of the Primrose North Satellite Steam Plant from 2.0 t/d to 3.8  t/d while they are performing pipeline maintenance/replacement. During this time,  the corresponding SO2 emissions will decrease from the Primrose and  Wolf Lake facilities; therefore, the overall project wide SO2  emissions will remain unchanged.
