Description

This study delineates flood hazard areas and determines design flood levels along the Bow River and Policeman Creek through Canmore. The study area includes an approximate 20 km reach of the Bow River and an almost 6 km reach of Policeman Creek. The design discharge for the Bow River is 673 m³/s upstream of the Policeman Creek confluence and 698 m³/s downstream of the confluence. The design discharge for Policeman Creek ranges from 95.8 m³/s at the Bow River confluence to 37.2 m³/s farther upstream, in a non-overflow area. The study was prepared in March 1993. Flood information available after study completion may not be reflected in the current flood hazard study report or flood hazard mapping.

Description

This study delineates flood hazard areas and determines design flood levels along an approximate 7 km reach of Pincher Creek and an approximate 3 km reach of Kettles Creek through the Pincher Creek. The design discharge for Pincher Creek is 179 m³/s upstream of the Kettles Creek confluence and 216 m³/s downstream of the confluence. The design discharge for Kettles Creek is 33.4 m³/s at Highway 6 and 37.3 m³/s at its confluence with Pincher Creek. The study was prepared in March 1993. Flood information available after study completion may not be reflected in the current flood hazard study report or flood hazard mapping.

Description

The Canmore Flood Risk Mapping Study was conducted as part of the Canada-Alberta Flood Damage Reduction Program to prepare flood risk maps for a 20 km reach of the Bow River from the Banff National Park boundary, through the Town of Canmore,to downstream of Dead Man Flat. This study is concerned with only surface flooding caused by open-water floods. Potential flooding because of groundwater was not investigated. A review of historical flooding int he study area indicates that recent flood events, including the 1974 flood, have return periods lower than five years based on the hydrologic assessment by Alberta Environment, Hydrology Branch. The review also indicates that ice-related flooding has rarely occurred through the Town of Canmore.

Description

This study delineates flood hazard areas and determines design flood levels along the Athabasca River, Muskeg Creek and the Tawatinaw River through Athabasca. The study area includes an almost 6 km reach of the Athabasca River, an almost 1 km reach of Muskeg Creek and an approximate 3 km reach of the Tawatinaw River. The design discharge for the Athabasca River is 6200 m³/s. The design discharges for Muskeg Creek and the Tawatinaw River are 30.0 m³/s and 65.0 m³/s respectively. The study was prepared in March 1993. Flood information available after study completion may not be reflected in the current flood hazard study report or flood hazard mapping.

Description

The Alberta Vegetation Inventory Standards Manual has been developed to support the collection of detailed vegetation information, which is necessary for Forest Management Agreement holders and the government department responsible for forestry matters to provide the best possible forest management plans, wildlife habitat classifications and integrated resource management plans. Major changes in Version 2.1 of the manual include dropping references to "productive" and "non-productive" forest land, changing the term "Site Index" to "Timber Productivity Rating", adding additional Field Check types, dropping "Photo Interpretation and Base Map Procedures and Specifications" as well as "Standards" (audit) from the manual.
