The purpose of Directive 079 will set out minimum setback requirements from abandon wells to surface structures and it will present important information to municipal officers, planners, development officers and applicants for subdivision or development approvals.

For the purpose of this directive, an abandon well is a well that has been abandon, plugged, cut and capped as required by ERCB Directive 020: Well Abandonment.

Directive 079 outlines that surface structures on top of an abandon well are not permitted an a minimum 5 m setback radius around the well must be maintained. Wells that previously were shallow and did not penetrate hydrocarbon-bearing formations may not require the 5 m setback.

Developers must incorporate the 5 m setback radius into their development plans. The ERCB has developed an Abandon Well Locating and Testing Protocol to provide industry with a consistent approach to locating, testing and confirming the status of the abandon well. Licensees must follow protocol when an abandon well is identified in proximity to existing or planned surface development.

PHH ARC can assist developers with a well file review and ensure the Abandon Well Locating and Testing Protocol is followed to ensure the application process is adhered to and in compliance with Directive 079.

A Depreciation Report (sometimes called a Reserve Fund Study) determines the expected costs of maintaining and capital upgrading a strata building for the next 30 years. The Strata Property Amendment Act came into effect in 2009 with the requirement for all Strata Corporations to complete Depreciation Reports deferred to December 2011. The current deadline for Depreciation Reports to be submitted is December 2013. The report is required to predict repair and replacement costs over 30 years, the service life of the components and three cash flow models for how to fund the anticipated expenses.

How Does a Depreciation Report Benefit My Strata?

It predicts the life cycle of the buildings components with associated costs for maintenance or replacement. This means that strata fees can be defined with some certainty. It helps strata councils to plan maintenance in advance of more expensive and stressful component failure such as a roof leak in the winter. A well funded strata should help maintain the value of all strata owners investment.

How Often Do They Need to be Done?

Depreciation Reports need to be updated every 3 years in British Columbia.

How Do I Know That I Am Getting A Competent Firm to Do My Report?

As with all professional services you have to do your homework and get references. The content of the report will be part of the strata’s financial plan going forward. The Act defines professions that are acceptable including Professional Engineers, Architects, REIC Reserve Planners and Quantity Surveyors. The CHOA website provides a draft table for strata councils to go out for quotations for Depreciation Reports at the following link:
