Description

This document focuses on Tier 1 soil and groundwater remediation guidelines, the process used to develop them, and the manner in which they should be applied. Alberta's framework for the management of contaminated sites is designed to achieve three policy outcomes: pollution prevention, health protection, and productive use. Under this framework, three management options are provided: Tier 1, Tier 2, and Exposure Control. Tier 1 remediation guidelines are generic; that is, they are developed to protect sites at the more sensitive end of the range and can therefore be used at most sites without modification.

Description

This technical handbook outlines a methodology for conducting regional/project-based acid deposition assessments using the revised acid deposition management framework [2022], which includes a new critical loads function and a steady-state mass balance approach to determine critical loads of acidity for sulphur and nitrogen deposition. The handbook should be utilized to determine suitable acid deposition assessments when required. It has a companion tool and GIS package that can be used to calculate exceedances as per Section 3 of the handbook.
