Interim Sub-surface Withdrawal - Peel Watershed Region
On February 4, 2010, the Government of Yukon temporarily suspended the issuance of new oil and gas rights in the Peel Watershed Planning Region. This was done in order to provide certainty during the ongoing regional land use planning process. While the withdrawal applies to the issuance of new oil and gas rights, the Government of Yukon will continue to facilitate regulatory approvals for surface activities required to access and explore current dispositions. This withdrawel expires Februry 4, 2011, and does not predetermine any outcomes in the planning process.
