Mountain Goat and Sheep Ranges were determined from both observations (telemetry and aerial sheep/goat surveys) and habitat suitability indexes. Goat and sheep ranges have been buffered by 800m to derive zones. Range delineation encompasses use during all seasons.To identify goat and sheep ranges in an effort to: a) avoid land use disturbances that may have a direct or indirect adverse effect on the behavior of the animals, and b) avoid permanent alteration of physical habitat conditions. An area south of Grande Prairie was added to the layer in November 2022.

Description

Proctor and Gamble Cellulose Ltd. Operates a bleached kraft pulp mill near Grande Prairie, which discharges effluent to the Wapiti River. In the late 1970’s water quality impacts and public complaints began to arise with respect to the Smoky River, into which the Wapiti drains. Since little data were available for the Smoky, a water quality study was carried out in 1983 to assess the impact of the pulp mill and to augment the data base and understanding of the Smoky River system.
