Orphan Activity
The Orphan Project (ORPHAN_ACTIVITY_PT) points feature class shows the location of restoration activities that are to be carried out on orphan sites in the current operational year.
The Orphan Projects are planned projects (tasks/activities) on orphan sites for the current operational year. A planned project on a site within a given workstream may include: field work, desktop analysis or planning, and/or reporting. Orphan projects completed under the Orphan Site Reclamation Fund (OSRF) to decommission and restore the site. This provides assurance the site will be restored in accordance with current standards and requirements, and all known contamination risks or hazards have been addressed.

Inactive - Decommissioning work is outstanding at the site
Decommissioned - All well(s), pipeline(s), and facility equipment have been permanently plugged and/or removed from the site, allowing for restoration work to progress.
Assessed - Indicates a site has been decommissioned and an investigation completed to confirm the environmental quality before reclamation.
Reclaimed - Decommissioning work is complete, the environmental quality meets the standards, and the surface soils have been reclaimed and planted with acceptable species.

Deactivation - Pig, purge, and isolate lines, and drain equipment
Abandonment - Permanently plug and cut/cap wellbore
Decommissioning - Remove and salvage/dispose of operating equipment, and cut/cap pipelines back to site boundary or to a depth to not impede land use
Investigation - Review of historical information, and intrusive examination of soil and/or groundwater quality
Remediation - Treatment of soil and/or groundwater contamination
Reclamation - Redistribute soils and revegetate for eventual return to pre-disturbance state
* Used to isolate project location based on project workstream type
