Electronic Disposition System (EDS)

The Lands Division is responsible for the management of geophysical, industrial, commercial and agricultural public land dispositions in accordance with the Public Lands Act, Mines and Minerals Act and related legislation, regulations and policies. The Lands Division has taken a phased approach to automating the business processes required to meet legislative requirements.

The opportunity provided by this automated system will ensure that industry clients are provided with efficient and consistent service from government departments providing access to Alberta’s resources.
Electronic Disposition System (EDS) provides a web based solution that includes the following features:

  • Ability to submit applications and amendments including required attachments. Specified purpose codes for EZE, LOC, MSL, PLA, PIL, REA, SML and VCE disposition types are included at this time.
  • Ability to upload an encrypted compressed file containing disposition plans and meta data file.
  • Ability for industry clients to associate 2 related surface dispositions through the web page and attach a single plan for the applications.
  • Ability to perform real time validation through the web interface. Business rule violations will be displayed back to the industry client at the time of data entry to the database.
  • Ability to notify client of unsuccessful submission and errors.
  • Ability to automatically notify the industry client of the surface disposition number.
  • Ability to submit Area Operating Agreement (AOA) Monthly Status Reports.

Clients will need to acquire a GoA account and password in order to access EDS. Please download the form External GoA User ID Request Form for EDS and PCS to acquire a GoA account. Further details regarding EDS can be found in the EDS Access and Navigation User Manual.
