Description

Historic resources assessments of the impacts the 2013 flood on palaeontological and archaeological resources adjacent to the Bow, Sheep, and upper Highwood rivers in southern Alberta were conducted between 2013 and 2015. These studies visually assessed erosional exposures on these rivers and documented historic resources. Analysis of the location and character of these finds has shed light on the types of landforms present and the nature of human occupations in the Bow River watershed, and highlights how significant the impact of flood-related erosion has been on historic resources. This paper discusses these finds in a regional context to integrate them into the larger geological and precontact landscape contexts of southern Alberta. Part of the 37th volume of the Archaeological Survey of Alberta Occasional Paper series, which contains 18 articles exploring multiple facets of the impact on archaeological resources of the 2013 flood in southern Alberta.

Description

The Turner Valley gas plant site, used for many decades for petroleum production and refining, was decommissioned after 1985 and was designated as a historic site in 1995. A reclamation program was implemented for the redevelopment of the site. As part of the reclamation program, a groundwater containment and treatment system was constructed to contain and treat impacted groundwater. The objectives of the 2014 monitoring and sampling programs were to evaluate the groundwater quality at selected areas of the historical gas plant and the performance of the containment wall and treatment corridor.

Description

Technical report prepared for the Community Flood Mitigation Advisory Panel and describing proposed flood mitigation measures for the Elbow River, Sheep River and Highwood River basins. The report presents the design basis, conceptual details and opinions of probable costs for the proposed flood mitigation measures. Following the flooding in southern Alberta in June of 2013, The Community Flood Mitigation Advisory Panel was established in July 2013 to advise the government of Alberta on possible flood mitigation measures that may be implemented to reduce future flood damages.

Description

A site protection and remediation project for the The Turner Valley gas plant was completed in the Spring of 2007. This report presents the results of a study of the human health and ecological risk assessment for the Sheep River floodplain beyond the containment wall at the site. The Turner Valley gas plant, western Canada’s first natural gas processing and refining facility and the site of Alberta’s first major oil and gas discovery, is a provincial historic resource and a national historic site.
