1 Title: Number: Program Name: ESRD, Public Land Management, 2014, No.2 Public Land Management Effective Date: January 30, 2014 This document was updated on: 1. Introduction 1.1 Purpose Environment and Sustainable Resource Development (ESRD) is responsible for managing and regulating Alberta s public lands. The Public Lands Act amendments that came into force on April 1, 2010 and the Public Lands Administration Regulation (PLAR) that came into force on Sept 12, 2011 redefined some of the ways the public land administration is carried out, including the issuance and maintenance of dispositions issued on public land. In support of implementation of PLAR this directive describes the operational policy and procedures for the administration of s as defined in PLAR. 1.2 Scope This directive is mandatory and shall be used by all persons having the delegated authority for the administration of s under PLAR. The following Policy and Procedures as related to s are included in this directive: Types Allocation Tenure Fees & Charges General Application Requirements Activity and Purpose Codes Approvals associated with s 1.3 Background Sections 15 and 20 of the Public Lands Act empower the directors to authorize dispositions on public land. A disposition is an instrument that conveys an estate, interest, right or privilege in respect of Public Land. There are three classes of dispositions defined in PLAR as follows: 1. Formal Disposition Approval Page 1 of 15

2 These three classes of dispositions are distinguished by: The degree of rights conveyed by the disposition (e.g. whether the disposition conveys an interest in public land or merely a right or privilege) The rights and obligations of the disposition holder Application and issuance requirements, timelines and process. This directive deals with s. An authorization is a disposition for short term access of vacant public land allowing a person to enter and occupy public land for a specified purpose. See table 2.1 and the glossary for further information. Reference should be made to PLAR Formal Dispositions Directive and PLAR Approvals Directive for information on Formal Dispositions and Approvals. Throughout this directive reference is made to the Regulatory Body. This term is used to describe the government department or delegated authority which may implement the Public Lands Act. As of the effective date of this directive the term Regulatory Body applies to Environment and Sustainable Resource Development (ESRD), and the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER). 1.4 Precautions Use this directive with the supporting documents and processes identified within. Revisions to this directive may be needed when there are changes to the supporting documents or processes within. Revisions to the directive are the responsibility of the directive Owner. Regulatory body staff and applicants can contact the directive owner if there are any questions about this procedure. 1.5 Responsibility The following roles are responsible for maintaining, approving, and using this procedure: Directive Owner: ESRD Policy Division, Lands and Forestry Policy Branch Directive Approver: Executive Director, Lands & Forest Policy, Policy Division, ESRD Directive Users: ESRD Operations Division, Policy Division, Integrated Resource Planning Division, and the Alberta Energy Regulator Page 2 of 15

3 2. Policy- PLAR s An issued under PLAR has up to three unique coded identifiers. These codes are used to apply for and issue an, and describe the activity that is approved on Public Land. They are used in the digital tracking systems managed by the regulatory bodies. The three codes are explained below: 1. Disposition Type: The disposition type defines the tenure, maximum term length, general purpose, fees, and general application requirements of a certain authorization. The disposition type is represented by a three letter code and is used to track and administer that disposition or authorization. An example would be a Temporary Field (TFA). 2. Purpose Code: Purpose codes are organized into categories of activities that define the specific purpose of the disposition. Purpose codes can furhter define rights and use of the authorization type and may have direct linkages to standards or conditions for the proper management of the disposition. (e.g. Storage) 3. Activity Code: The activity code further defines the Purpose Code and provides a greater level of detail. Activity codes can further define allowable activities under a Purpose code, and may have direct links to standards or conditions for that activity. An example would be Stockpile and Industrial which are both allowable activities under the purpose of Storage. **See PLAR Table A1: ESRD PLAR Dispositions, and A2: AER PLAR Dispositions for a complete listing of all disposition types, purpose codes and activity codes. Some s are issued without associated Purpose and Activity codes, as the Type describes the activity in sufficient detail, while several other authorizations do use purpose and activity codes to further distinguish the activities. See PLAR Table A1: ESRD PLAR Dispositions and PLAR Table A2: AER PLAR Dispositions for more information. For proposed activities or land uses that are not represented in Table A1 or A2, a review by ESRD will be required to determine if the proposed activity is a suitable use of public land, and if the proposed activity requires an additional type, purpose or activity code.

4 2.1 Types The following table 2.1 lists the authorizations issued under PLAR, and the corresponding official 3 digit identifier: Table 2.1 s under PLAR Type Access Permit Definition An authorization issued under section. 37 of PLAR allowing for temporary entry and occupation of vacant public land for recreational or commercial purposes. Two types of Access Permits are issued: General Access Permits (GAP) 3 letter Identifier GAP TFA Is the Formally Defined in PLAR? PLAR Division Part 2 Division 2 Special Access Permits (Issued by TFA) Grazing Permit An authorization issued on an annual basis for the exclusive grazing of livestock on a parcel of vacant public land. GRP Part 3 Division 1 Head Tax Permit An authorization issued on an annual basis for the non-exclusive right to graze livestock on a parcel of vacant public land. The permits are commonly used to authorize patrons within a Provincial Grazing Reserve to graze their share of the forage on the reserve. Head tax permits are code: HTW HTG Part 3 Division 1 Head Tax White (HTW) in the white area Head Tax Green (HTG) in the green area Hay An authorization issued on an annual basis to authorize the cutting of hay on vacant public land. Hay authorizations are issued through TFA using a purpose code of Hay Cutting TFA No N/A Surface Material Licence An authorization for the removal of surface materials where the applicant will be removing the material in a short time (1 year maximum). SMC Part 3 Division 6 Surface Materials Exploration Public Pit An authorization granted for a short time period (1 year maximum) for the exploration of surface materials on vacant public land. An authorization granted for a short term for small volume removals of surface materials SME No N/A PPL No N/A Page 4 of 15

5 Table 2.1 s under PLAR Type Licence Definition from an established or known extraction site. 3 letter Identifier Is the Formally Defined in PLAR? PLAR Division Coal Exploration Program Oilsands Exploration Program Wild Rice Operations Temporary Field An authorization granted for a short time period (1 year maximum) for the exploration of Coal Resources in the subsurface area of vacant public land. An authorization granted for a short time period (1 year maximum) for the exploration of Oilsands resources in the subsurface area of vacant public land. An authorization issued on areas of Public Land bed and shore of waterbodies for the purpose of growing wild rice. An authorization issued to grant authority to enter on and occupy parcels of public land for a defined purpose for a short period of time. (Typical terms do not excced 1 year but are variable based on the purpose and activity type. CEP No N/A OSE No N/A WRO No N/A TFA No N/A Table 2.1 Notes Miscellaneous Permits (MLPs) are a type of authorization that will no longer be issued by the department. Existing dispositions of this type will be converted or cancelled during the next few years. Miscellanous short-term uses can be approved under TFA. Longer term uses are to be approved under an appropriate formal disposition. The following descriptions are general categories of s. These categories describe in a general sense the tenure rights and term lengths of certain s. These categories are not formally defined in PLAR or the Public Lands Act, but have been historically used by the regulated bodies to describe categories of dispositions Licence A Licence is a legal contract that grants the right to use the land but does not grant exclusivity and is issued to the client (authorization holder) for a specified period of time. Typical term lengths for licences that are s are 1 year or less. The two Licences which are also authorizations (SMC, PPL) are issued under section 12 of PLAR. Page 5 of 15

6 2.1.2 Permit A permit is a legal contract that grants the right to use the land for a specified activity for a short period of time. A typical term length is one year, though many permits may be re-issued for additional terms. Grazing Permits and Head Tax Permits are issued under section 12 of PLAR and are considered s. Access Permits are a special type of permit issued under section 37 of PLAR and subject to regulations contained in Part 2, division Other s Several authorizations are classified neither as Lease, Licence, Permit or Agreement. These authorizations, which include Hay s, Surface Material Exploration, Coal Exploration Program, Oilsands Exploration Program, Wild Rice Operations, and Temporary Field s, are simply s under PLAR. They are also issued under section 12 of PLAR Activities Authorized under other Enactments This directive contains information only concerning authorized land use activities classified as a disposition under the Public Lands Administration Regulation. Certain activities may be authorized on public land under other enactments such as: Timber harvesting, temporary road construction and certain incidental activities authorized under the Forests Act. Exploration activities (Geophysical and Metallic and Industrial Minerals Exploration) conducted under the Mines and Minerals Act. These above two examples are not an exhaustive list of activities authorized on public land under other enactments. Activities such as those approved under other enactments are subject to the regulations and policies governing those activities. 2.2 Allocation Allocation is the method in which the regulatory body makes available vacant public land for specific uses. A long-standing policy of the department has been to allocate public land according to the principle of first in time-first in right, although among different formal dispositions the allocation method varies. (See table 2.2). Notes are included below on the first in time- first in right principle as defined directly below. Information on other allocation methods is not detailed in this directive. All land allocation decisions are at the discretion of the Minister, director or official of ESRD or any agency or board as enabled under legislation to administer the Public Lands Act, who may decide to allocate or not to allocate public land. Land allocation for dispositions is subject to, and must adhere to all applicable Land Use Framework Regional Plans, Approved Government of Alberta Integrated Resource Plans, and all applicable policy and regulation. The regulatory bodies make land allocation decisions for the highest and best use according to above mentioned plans, and any applicable policy and regulation. In areas of public land where multiple uses are permitted, a certain type of use does not receive priority over another type of use unless otherwise specified in an approved land use plan or policy, or through the land reservation and notation system, or in cases where an existing resource right has been allocated. Page 6 of 15

7 A person has only secured priority in under the principle of first in time-first in right when that person has submitted an application that has been deemed complete by the regulatory body. An application which has been rejected by the regulatory body as incomplete does not secure any priority. Typically dispositions are allocated on an as-required basis, meaning there is demonstrated need or business case requiring the land use, or provincial policy supporting the expansion or proliferation of the particular land use. (e.g. Agricultural authorizations such as grazing permits are generally permitted in suitable white area crown lands, Access permits are allocated as per recreation management plans and strategies, etc.) An application to allocate public land for speculative purposes may be refused. Table 2.2 Allocation methods of s Disposition Type Allocation Method Comments Access Permit First in time- First in Right Grazing Permit First in time- First in Right Priority re-issuance to the original client is the general department procedure. Head Tax Permit First in time- First in Right Priority issuance Priority issuance occurs on: -Provincial Grazing Reserves (PGR) for PGR patrons -within Forest Reserves for preference quota holders Hay First in time- First in Right Priority re-issuance in certain cases to original client Surface Material Licence Surface Materials Exploration First in time- First in Right First in time- First in Right Public Pit Licence First in time- First in Right Each specific source of surface material (pit) may have a maximum volume that can be allotted with a single licence.

8 2.3 Tenure The tenure is the bundle of rights conveyed to the disposition holder with respect of the public land for which their disposition was issued. It includes the term length of the disposition, and the level of rights conveyed to occupy, and the exclusivity of access to the land. All authorizations convey a right to enter and occupy public land, but do not convey a right to exclusive occupancy or access of the public land in question. Area that has been granted under an is considered Vacant Disposition Area under PLAR, and by definition is also Vacant Public Land (unless active construction work or development is ongoing). Vacant Public Land may be accessed by other users subject to application legislation and policy. Table 2.3 summarizes the tenure of each authorization type. Table 2.3 Tenure Disposition Type Exclusivity Vacant Public Land Term Length Access Permit Non-exclusive rights days maximum (PLAR sec. 39) Grazing Permit Exclusive right to graze the area under permit, but non-exclusive occupation rights. ¹ Expires the Dec 31 that immediately follows date of issuance.

Temporary Field Non exclusive rights. ¹ 3 year maximum (based off activity and purpose codes with most purposes having a 1 year maximum term) Notes: 1 only when no development is occurring or is likely to occur within 90 days 2.4 Fees and Charges Table 2.4 provides a brief description of the fees and charges that are applicable to authorizations as per section 11 (1) of PLAR. The specific amounts of certain fees by disposition type, purpose and activity can be located in PLAR Table A1 and A2, and PLAR Table B- PLAR Administrative Fees Table 2.4 Formal Dispositions Fees and Charges Fee or Charge Notes Applies to Types: Application Fee Mapping Fee Amendment Application Fee Amendment to an application Fee An application fee is non-refundable. If an application is rejected for being incomplete, then a new application must be made, and a new application fee submitted. In some cases the application fee is included within a Permit Fee which also allows for land-use. Fee does not apply to PLAR dispositions administered by the AER. (See PLAR Tables A1 and B) This amount is paid to map the submitted plan of the disposition application area. A mapping fee is nonrefundable. If a plan is rejected for being incomplete, then a new plan must be submitted with a new mapping fee. Fee does not apply to PLAR dispositions administered by the AER. (See PLAR Table B) This amount is to be paid when an amendment is submitted to an existing disposition. This fee is non-refundable. Fee does not apply to PLAR dispositions administered by the AER. (See PLAR Table B) This amount is to be paid when an amendment to an application is made. This fee is non-refundable. Fee does not apply to PLAR dispositions administered by the AER. (See PLAR Table B) GRP, HTW,HTG, SMC, SME SMC GRP, HTW,HTG, SMC, SME GRP, HTW,HTG, SMC, SME Page 9 of 15

10 Table 2.4 Formal Dispositions Fees and Charges Fee or Charge Notes Applies to Types: Amendment plan/renewal plan mapping fee Land Use Charges Royalties Timber Damage Assessment (TDA) Security Reclamation Certificate Application Fee This amount must be paid to map a submitted amended plan (or renewal plan). This fee is non-refundable. Fee does not apply to PLAR dispositions administered by the AER. (See PLAR Table B) Land Use charges are the rental fees for public land. Typically they are charged annually, however some charges are a lump sum. For some formal dispositions a land use charge is not applied and instead a permit fee is all that is charged. Land Use Charges are typically based off area of land utilized but in certain cases (such as grazing lease) the rental is calculated using a formula related to resource use. (See PLAR Tables A1 and A2) Royalties are charges for some types of dispositions where a resource is removed (e.g. Surface Material dispositions). (See PLAR Tables A1 and A2) The timber damage assessment (TDA) is applied in forested areas (green area of the province only) to compensate Forest Management Agreement (FMA) holders, and the Crown for lost resource revenue as a result of loss of a timber resource and productive timber growing landbase. This figure is based off an adjusted calculation per hectare, and varies over different areas of the province. (See PLAR Tables A1 and A2) Security is not a fee or a charge, but is a deposit paid and kept in trust to ensure performance of certain disposition obligations and most particularly reclamation requirements. Security is typically not applied to a PLAR disposition if it is also collected through the approval process under the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act (EPEA). (See PLAR Tables A1 and A2) This fee applies to any application for reclamation certificate under the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act (EPEA). A reclamation certificate is required for specified land. There is no charge for an application for Letter of Clearance under the Public Lands Act for dispositions that are not specified land. Fee does not apply to PLAR dispositions administered by the AER. (See PLAR Table B) SML TFA (most purposes), SMC, WRO GRP, HTW, HTG, TFA (for HAY), SMC SMC, OSE, CEP, TFA (certain purposes) SME, SMC TFA (for specified land under EPEA) Page 10 of 15

11 IMPORTANT NOTE FOR TABLE 2.4: There are no administrative fees for PLAR dispositions issued by the AER and costs are recuperated through the AER s Administrative Levy. See table PLAR Table B- Administrative Fees for further information. 2.5 General Application Requirements Under PLAR, an application for an must contain the minimum general requirements as specified in Sec. 11(1). The requirements and applicable comments are summarized in table 2.5 below. Refer to the Regulation for exact wording. Table 2.5 Application Requirements Section 11(1)a Form acceptable to Director 11(1)b Acceptable Land Description 11(1)c All Applicable Fees Applies to Formal Disposition Types: All All All Notes s will have different application forms as specified by departmental standards. Some applications will be accepted only through digital formats. See PLAR Tables A1 and A2: PLAR Dispositions for general information on application format by activity code. Specific information is available within the PLAR Operational Approvals and s Administrative Procedures For some s, the procedural aspects of First Nations Consultation will be assessed and may be delegated to the applicant. In these cases the applicant will require to follow the First Nation Consultation Land procedures, receive a FNC number and a decision of adequacy of the proponent-led procedural aspects of consultation. Some s may also require a statement of consent when the lands already applied for are occupied with a public lands or timber disposition. The acceptable land description is a written description, a sketch, survey or GPS location plan as specified by departmental standards. See the Alberta Government Disposition Plan Types/Formats document for information on specific plan requirements by activity code. Plan requirements for Temporary Field s are as detailed in the PLAR Approvals and s Administrative Procedures As specified in section 2.4 of this directive. Note: There are no administrative fees for PLAR dispositions issued by the AER and costs are recuperated through the AER s Page 11 of 15

12 Table 2.5 Application Requirements Section Applies to Formal Disposition Types: Notes Administrative Levy 2.6 Purpose & Activity Codes PLAR Table A1: ESRD PLAR Dispositions and PLAR Table A2: AER PLAR Dispositions outline all the permissible purpose and activity codes for which a regulatory body authorizes the entry and occupation of public land. As noted in section 2 of this document, each authorization will have a disposition type code, and may have a purpose and activity code. For each purpose/activity code combination, PLAR Table A1 and A2 identifies whether a TFA or Disposition Operational Approval (DOA) may be issued for this purpose. In these cases an (TFA) can be issued for the same purpose and activity as a formal disposition though generally for a shorter term, and with lesser environmental impact. Disposition type codes are considered fairly static and will generally only be changed or updated associated with changes to legislation. Purpose and Activity codes may be updated periodically by the department as the need arises to recognize new legitimate uses of public lands. Updates to the purpose and activity code listing (Tables A1 and A2) will be considered annually as per departmental procedures. 2.7 Multiple Instruments Under PLAR, there is the ability to issue a Formal Disposition, an or an Approval to allow for the use and occupation of public lands. For many purpose and activity types, only one of these three instruments in permitted, but in some circumstances an activity may be approved under a Formal Disposition, or an Approval. Where this is the case, an activity may be authorized using an or an Approval when the activity is in general in shorter duration (more temporary) and having less impact than would require a Formal Disposition. PLAR tables A1 and A2: PLAR Dispositions outlines for which activities and purposes a Temporary Field (TFA) or a Disposition Operational Approval (DOA) is permitted. The specific criteria for when an activity may be authorized by or Approval vs. a Formal Disposition are included in Table C: PLAR Operational Approvals and s document. 2.8 Related Approvals An approval is a disposition under PLAR that grants the disposition holder the permission or consent of the Minister, a director or an officer or a delegated agency or board to carry out a certain activity. The activity is one where permission or consent from the department is required under the Act, the regulations or the conditions of a formal disposition or authorization. Approvals are issued pursuant to either a formal disposition or an authorization and are never a stand alone disposition. The term of approvals cannot exceed the term of the formal disposition or authorization (except Page 12 of 15

13 reclamation approvals), and in most cases the term expires sooner as identified by the issuing regulatory body. In any event, Approvals are cancelled automatically when the subsisting formal disposition or authorization is cancelled. Approvals are subject to the terms and conditions of the related formal disposition or authorization and any additional conditions as otherwise stated by the regulatory body. Approvals are issued under section 14 of PLAR, and there are two types as follows: 1. Administrative Approvals- Consist of mortgages, assignments, transfer, and sub-leasing Administrative approvals apply only to Formal Dispositions and are not available for authorizations. 2. Operational Approvals- Are issued in order to: Conduct activities connected, or incidental to the formal disposition or authorization Approve a required submission as conditioned within a disposition Waive or alter certain requirements of the formal disposition or authorization. The PLAR Operational Approvals and s Administrative Procedures document identifies which specific operational approvals apply for certain dispositions. Table 2.8 shows if operational approvals in general are permitted for certain s types. Table 2.8 Permissible Approvals under PLAR for s: Type Access Permit Grazing Permit Head Tax Permit Hay Surface Material Licence Surface Materials Exploration Public Pit Licence Coal Exploration Program Oilsands Exploration Program Wild Rice Operations Temporary Field Are Operational Approvals permitted for this? No No No No See PLAR Approvals Directive: ESRD, Public Land Management, 2014, No.3 for further information on approvals. Page 13 of 15
