Description

This checklist is designed to facilitate a review of the key elements of the Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) report, to ensure the site is thoroughly assessed, the substance(s) delineated, and reports contain the appropriate information for remediation and/or risk management. A focus of the review is to assess the completeness of the ESA, and to identify data gaps that may exist. Key technical requirements for ESAs are also itemized in the checklist, which will allow the user to identify potential deficiencies in the report and/or in the methods used to conduct the ESA.

Description

Alberta Environment has completed five annual assessments of particulate matter (PM) and ozone data as promised under the Clean Air Strategic Alliance (CASA) Particulate Matter and Ozone Management Framework. These assessments compare outdoor levels of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ozone data to action triggers defined by the CASA Framework. Action levels have been assigned to the Edmonton and Calgary Census Metropolitan Areas and individual air monitoring stations in Alberta based on the procedure defined by the Canada Wide Standards (CWS) for particulate matter and ozone and the CASA Framework.

Description

Alberta Environment has completed the second annual assessment of particulate matter (PM) and ozone data as promised under the Clean Air Strategic Alliance (CASA) Particulate Matter and Ozone Management Framework. The assessment compares outdoor levels of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ozone data to action triggers defined by the CASA Framework. Action levels have been assigned to air monitoring stations in Alberta based on the procedure defined by the Canada Wide Standards (CWS) and CASA Framework. The results of the assessment show that PM2.5 and ozone levels at all monitoring stations were lower than the CWS exceedance trigger based on data from 2002 to 2004 after backing out or removing episodes that were primarily caused by natural, background or trans-boundary influences. However, the assessment results do show that ozone levels in some areas of the province are approaching CWS levels and therefore air quality management plans need to be developed.
