Description

Alberta Environment and Parks has finalized a new Alberta Ambient Air Quality Guideline for total reduced sulphur compounds, to be used for odour management. Alberta Environment and Parks recognizes that further guidance is needed to reduce the operational burden related to reporting values above the Alberta Ambient Air Quality Guideline, while still achieving the desired outcome of odour management. The Air Monitoring Directive requires immediate reporting of exceedances of ambient air quality objectives and guidelines. This protocol is to outline electronic reporting procedures for ambient TRS monitoring for values above the Alberta Ambient Air Quality Guideline for both industrial operations and Alberta airsheds.

Description

The RSA is designed to determine the forest regeneration status of young managed stands relative to an assumed future condition. The standard provides detailed descriptions of the office and field procedures and imparts practical aids and tools to assist timber disposition holders in conducting forest regeneration assessments. The information obtained by using the RSA is intended to support a wide variety of activities including regulatory requirements, planning applications, forest regeneration monitoring and decision making.

Quantification protocol for greenhouse gas emission reductions from pneumatic devices. Version 3.x

Description

This protocol is effective January 1, 2023 and must be used to quantify emission offsets generated in the 2023 vintage going forward. This quantification protocol is written for the oil and gas... More ≫

Description

This protocol is effective January 1, 2023 and must be used to quantify emission offsets generated in the 2023 vintage going forward. This quantification protocol is written for the oil and gas industry where natural gas is used to provide pneumatic power for automated process control and operational devices. Devices include pressure controllers, temperature controllers, transducers, liquid level controllers, flow rate regulators and chemical pumps. The opportunity for generating emission offsets arises from the direct and indirect reduction in greenhouse gases resulting from the conversion of instrument gas to instrument air in process control systems, conversion of pumps, and vent gas capture.

Description

The Alberta Vegetation Inventory (AVI) is a standardized digital forest inventory product that is used to spatially identify the type, extent and condition of forest vegetation. The AVI is also a detailed, spatially-explicit standard to assist in the decision-making process for forest management planning, wildfire management, wildlife habitat classification, ecological classification and integrated resource management activities. The establishment of AVI standards helps ensure data quality, consistency, and compatibility with Government of Alberta forest inventory database architecture, as the responsibility to acquire AVI data is shared between forest management agreement holders and the Province.

Description

This quantification protocol is written for the oil and gas industry where CO2 is injected into an enhanced oil recovery scheme and emissions offset project. The opportunity for generating emission offsets arises from the direct and indirect reduction in greenhouse gases resulting from the capture, transportation and injection and ultimate sequestration of CO2.
