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 report is a summary of an extensive literature search related to landscape conservation tools in North America and internationally. It identifies the types of conservation tools that could be tailored for application in Alberta to protect native prairie grasslands. Additional opportunities for future research are also outlined, which may help catalyze the formation of partnerships to protect Alberta's intact native grasslands. The report addresses Alberta's South Saskatchewan Regional Plan, Strategy 3.14b: exploring conservation approaches and tools for protecting intact native grasslands.

Description

This report is the final deliverable of an air quality modelling contract. The study built upon previous modelling studies focused on central Alberta and expanded the scope to include all regions of Alberta. Other improvements in this study included modelling a complete calendar year, emissions inventory updates for key sectors, and sector-based source apportionment for seven distinct sectors. Province-wide source apportionment will help inform air quality management initiatives, such as managing against the Canadian Ambient Air Quality Standards and other provincial air quality frameworks.
