Ground Motion Monitoring and Submission Guideline This document outlines the monitoring and reporting requirements for ground motion values within certain oil and gas development areas. Effective Date: Dec 6, 2023	Dec 6, 2023
Ground Motion Monitoring Reporting Template This is the template for ground motion monitoring reporting.	Jul 8, 2016
Guideline for Extraction of Ground Motion Parameters The guideline provides standard methodologies for extraction of ground motion parameters from recorded earthquake waveforms. The guidelines include data from both types of seismic sensors that are used for induced seismicity monitoring; seismometers that record ground motion velocities and accelerometers that are designed to record strong ground accelerations at short distances.

ORDER Designating a Special Project in the Kiskatinaw Seismic Monitoring and Mitigation Area Kiskatinaw Seismic Monitoring and Mitigation Area (KSMMA) Special Project Order is aimed at induced seismicity from hydraulic fracturing operations involving horizontal, multi-stage fracturing in a well targeting the Montney formation in the Farmington and Tower Lake areas of northeast B.C. The KSMMA requires induced seismicity pre-assessments, community engagement and real-time seismic monitoring during operations within the order area. Effective Date: Feb 13, 2025	Feb 13, 2025
ORDER Designating a Special Project in the North Montney Seismic Monitoring and Mitigation Area North Montney Seismic Monitoring and Mitigation Area (NMSMMA) Special Project Order is aimed at induced seismicity from hydraulic fracturing operations involving horizontal, multi-stage fracturing in a well targeting the Montney or Doig Formations in the greater Wonowon-Pink Mountain region of northeast B.C. The NMSMMA requires induced seismicity pre-assessments and real-time seismic monitoring during operations within the order area. Effective Date: Feb 13, 2025	Feb 13, 2025
Seismic Event Decision Tree for All Injection Activities Simplified decision tree that provides direction for required actions when a seismic event is recorded in proximity to energy resource injection activities. For hydraulic fracturing decision trees, please see the additional decision trees. Effective Date: Feb 13, 2025	Feb 13, 2025
Seismic Event Decision Tree for Hydraulic Fracturing Simplified decision tree that provides direction for required actions when a seismic event is recorded in proximity to hydraulic fracturing activities anywhere in NEBC except in the KSMMA or NMSMMA special project order areas. Effective Date: Feb 13, 2025	Feb 13, 2025
Seismic Event Decision Tree for Hydraulic Fracturing within the KSMMA or NMSMMA Simplified decision tree that provides direction for required actions when a seismic event is recorded in proximity to hydraulic fracturing activities within the KSMMA or NMSMMA special project order areas.
