The Land and Water Boards are updating the 2013 Closure and Reclamation Guidelines

We want to hear from you! 

The 2013 Guidelines for the Closure and Reclamation of Advanced Mineral Exploration and Mine Sites in the Northwest Territories (Closure Guidelines) outline expectations for closure planning of advanced mineral exploration and mine sites in the Mackenzie Valley. The Boards intend to expand these guidelines beyond advanced exploration and mining/milling to include, at minimum, oil and gas and potentially other industries 

  • Have you used the current Closure Guidelines? If so, have you identified gaps/issues/improvements?  
  • Is your industry lacking guidance on closure? How could this guidance be expanded to help your closure planning? 

For those interested in participating, fill out this form before April 1, 2025 to be added to our Closure Guidelines Contact List. Additional details will follow. Please call 867-765-4590 with any questions.
