Your Guide to Regulatory Waste

Regulatory Resources

WiQ does the research for you! Our Waste Wizards understand the industry regulatory bodies that govern the energy industry and have brought to life the requirements right in the application. These valuable resources can assist in navigating regulatory requirements for waste characterization/classification and transportation.
Alberta Energy Regulator
The Alberta Energy Regulatory (AER) is Alberta’s sole regulator of the energy industry. Specifically, AER's Directive 058 provides details on Oilfield Waste Management Requirements for the Upstream Petroleum Industry. Waste generators and receivers must follow Directive 058 to handle, treat, and dispose of their oilfield waste safely and responsibly. WiQ has brought Directive 058 to life to help take the guess work out of waste coding and classification.
Transportation of Dangerous Goods
The Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) regulations provides guidelines for industry waste haulers that transporter dangerous goods within Canada. TDG promotes public safety during the handling, transportation, and receipt of dangerous goods by road, rail, air, or water in Canada. Many oilfield waste producers fall in the category of hazardous material and must therefore ensure compliance with the TDG regulations.

The waste and oilfield product characterization and classification built into WiQ follows Schedule 1 of TDG Regulations which defines the UN Number, Class Packing Group, Special Provisions, and more for each dangerous good as assigned by the United Nations Committee of Experts on the Transportation of Dangerous Goods and Transport Canada.

It is essential to have the necessary documentation in place. Using WiQ ensures that you generate the correct documentation before transporting the hazardous material. This documentation includes the TDG shipping document, which provides detailed information about the hazardous material being transported. The shipping document must include the proper shipping name, UN number, hazard class, packing group, and quantity of the hazardous material being transported.  For more information on the Shipping Document and the roles and responsibilities of all parties involved, see Part 3 of the TDG Regulations.

TDG regulations require that individuals involved in the transportation of hazardous material, including those using WiQ, undergo appropriate training. This training ensures that everyone involved understands the specific requirements and procedures to the hazardous material safely. It is essential to keep records of this training to demonstrate compliance with the TDG regulations.  The government of Canada keeps an active directory of organizations providing dangerous goods training which you can use to locate an accredited training centre.

Failing to comply with these regulations not only poses significant risks to the environment and public safety but also carries severe legal consequences. WiQ will help you navigate the complexities of TDG compliance to ensure you are getting the right waste to the right place.
Alberta Environment and Parks in Alberta
The Alberta Waste Control Regulation outline's the Alberta Provincial requirements and responsibilities of generators, carriers, and receivers for the transportation of hazardous waste. It enables the Alberta User Guide for Waste Managers, which serves as a valuable resource for individuals and businesses involved in waste management activities within the province.

By following the guidelines outlined in the user guide, you can ensure that your waste management practices are compliant with the regulations set by the Alberta Environment and Protected Areas (AEPA) and Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG). The AER also directs readers to the Alberta User Guide for Waste Managers where it is unclear if the waste classification is DOW or NON-DOW.
Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers
The CAPP Waste Profile Sheets are essential tools for managing and tracking waste from Canada's petroleum operations. They provide a structured framework to document waste types, hazard information, management methods, and transportation details. Designed to comply with TDG regulations and AER guidelines, these sheets support environmental stewardship by promoting safe and responsible waste handling practices. Available on CAPP's website,on their esources page, they serve as a standardized reference for industry professionals to ensure regulatory compliance and minimize environmental impact.

The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) is an industry association representing Canada's upstream oil and natural gas producers. CAPP plays a crucial role in advocating for sound policies, promoting responsible development, and fostering innovation within the petroleum industry. As part of their commitment to environmental stewardship, CAPP has developed the CAPP Waste Profile Sheets, which serve as a standardized tool for managing and tracking waste generated by the industry.  The waste profile sheets can be found  under the resources page or by searching for the Oilfield Waste Profile Sheets Guide.

The purpose of the CAPP Waste Profile Sheets is to provide a framework for characterizing and documenting various types of waste produced during petroleum operations within the TDG regulations and AER guidelines. These sheets serve as a quick reference guide by capturing General Information, Hazard Information, Management Methods, and Transportation.

Generator
Can I group my users to align with business operations?
Icon Rounded Chevron Dark - BRIX Templates

Yes! When creating your WiQ company profile, you have the ability to create ‘groupings’ which will allow you to assign locations, users, and templates to that grouping. Users who belong to the grouping will only see the locations, templates, and tickets that are relevant to their operating area. Users will only see what information is relevant to them and their group.

Generator
Where does my location data come from?
Icon Rounded Chevron Dark - BRIX Templates

WiQ uses Petroninjna, an aggregator of western Canada's oil and gas location data, to surface an active list of all your company's locations currently in the government database. For locations that are not in the Petroninja database, you can easily manually add them to your company profile.

Generator
What if I have multiple tickets I need to create in a hurry?
Icon Rounded Chevron Dark - BRIX Templates

We offer two convenient solutions for creating tickets quickly: 

Templates: At anytime, your company super users can create templates for commonly used waste types. The ticket templates will include predetermined waste information like TDG shipping codes, waste classifications, and other important waste information. Users can access these templates at any time, to quickly create a ticket by filling in the missing information.

Duplicate tickets: Users can duplicate existing tickets that will have unique WiQ ticket numbers.  Users have the ability to create as many duplicate tickets as needed!

Transporter
What can I expect during the onboarding process?
Icon Rounded Chevron Dark - BRIX Templates

Transporter onboarding can take approximately 15-30 minutes depending on how many drivers you need to add to your profile! Our team will create a log in for your dispatch team to be able to see incoming tickets, pull reports, and dispatch tickets.Drivers do not need to be given a log in. The driver name and phone number will be added to the transporters WiQ account so that they can receive dispatched tickets.

Transporter
Will I have to create tickets or fill in the ticket information?
Icon Rounded Chevron Dark - BRIX Templates

No. In order to create a manifest or shipping document, the generator is required to complete all applicable details including source site pickup, waste classification, TDG shipping information, and intended receiver information prior to the document completion. As a transporter, you will be sent a complete manifest or shipping document with all load information.

Transporter
As a driver, will I have to log in or download an app?
Icon Rounded Chevron Dark - BRIX Templates

No download required! You'll receive the manifest or shipping document straight to your phone via text message. Just click the link in the message, and it opens up right in your browser. It's hassle-free—no extra logins, app downloads, or data guzzling required!

Receiver
What can I expect during the onboarding process?
Icon Rounded Chevron Dark - BRIX Templates

The WiQ Customer Success team invests time in understanding your receiver operations. We want to learn about your past practices, including the types of waste you commonly receive, and challenges you might face in your day to day operations. We will help you build your WiQ profile to ensure you are receiving comprehensive and compliant waste information from generators so that you can ensure safe and compliant operations.

Receiver
What happens if we cannot accept a load at that time and it needs to go elsewhere?
Icon Rounded Chevron Dark - BRIX Templates

Users are able to redirect incoming loads to other receiver locations within their company network. The manifest will reflect the original intended receiver location details, as well as the actual receiver locations once the load is offloaded!

Receiver
What features are available to me?
Icon Rounded Chevron Dark - BRIX Templates

Receiver operations: at anytime, you are able to update your specific facility information including hours of operation, facility contact details, permit approval numbers, and AEPA documentation PINs. This can be modified to reflect closures of your facilities to your customers.

Manage substances: Receivers can customize an acceptable substances list for all facilities within their organizations. This gives you the ability to communicate to your customers what type of substances your facilities can and cannot accept. During the ticket creation process, receivers are selected by the generator from the drop down list. If a generator has selected a waste type that your facility cannot accept, the facility will not appear in the dropdown list.

Submit discrepancies: during the offload process, if there is a discrepancy between the manifest and the actual load that has arrived at site, receivers can submit discrepancies directly in the WiQ app. The discrepancy will go back to the receiver to review and approve.
