|  | Proposed Withdrawal of Three Guidelines—Last Chance to Comment | APEGA is proposing to withdraw the practice guidelines Concepts of Professionalism, Guideline for Professional Practice, and Guideline of Considerations for Establishing a Consulting Practice. The guidelines either duplicate information that is covered in other more recent APEGA publications or contain content that no longer aligns with APEGA's content strategy or the Practice Review Board.
The Practice Review Board is closing the feedback period soon, and APEGA invites registrants and the public to submit their comments on the proposed withdrawals by noon on July 15. |
|  | Changes to EPEA Waste-Related Notifications and Registrations | Since June 2021, the Government of Alberta has been developing an online digital regulatory assurance system (DRAS) that will manage the entire life cycle of projects that require environmental approvals under the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act (EPEA), the Water Act, and the Public Lands Act.
As part of the DRAS rollout, a change is coming to the way EPEA notifications and registrations for waste-management-related activities are submitted. Affected activities include waste storage sites, compost facilities, landfills, incinerators, and others. Information sessions will be held in fall 2025 on the upcoming changes.
