Description

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. Under Tier 2 it may be possible to screen out certain exposure pathways and/or modify the Tier 1 guidelines on the basis of site conditions. This companion document describes how the Tier 2 approach might be used to develop remediation objectives for a site.

Description

In summer of 2012, the Government of Alberta approved the Lower Athabasca Regional Plan and with it, three environmental management frameworks that aim to manage the cumulative effects of different activities in the region. The Groundwater Management Framework outlines a strategy for monitoring, evaluating and reporting changes in groundwater conditions, and identifies management actions that may be taken when such changes are observed. This supporting document provides summary information about the geology and hydrogeology of the Cold Lake Beaver River area, providing a basis for understanding groundwater conditions.

A desk-top method for establishing environmental flows in Alberta rivers and streams

Description

This report identifies a method to estimate an ecologically-based flow regime on the basis of reductions from natural flow or the per cent exceedance from natural flow. It also provides background... More ≫

Description

This report identifies a method to estimate an ecologically-based flow regime on the basis of reductions from natural flow or the per cent exceedance from natural flow. It also provides background information and a jurisdictional review of current environmental flow (instream flow needs) knowledge in North America and international rivers. The report was prepared in support of outcomes and goals identified in the provincial Water for Life strategy and action plan.
