The McClelland Lake Wetland Complex (MLWC) Operational Plan (OP), was submitted to the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) on December 15, 2021, by Suncor Energy on behalf of Fort Hills Energy Corporation. This Operational Plan was submitted to the AER in accordance with Conditions 3.11, 3.12, 3.13 and 3.14 of Water Act Approval No. 151636 (as amended). At the request of AER, Suncor provided AWA with a copy of the submitted Operational Plan for us to review on January 28, 2022.
