Description

Surface water quality management frameworks are a key component of Alberta's cumulative effects management system. These frameworks are designed to monitor, evaluate and proactively manage the cumulative effects of human activity on ambient surface water quality in Alberta's major rivers. The frameworks do not replace existing regulatory processes, but rather add to and complement existing policies, legislation, regulations and management tools. This fact sheet provides an overview of the Upper Athabasca Region Surface Water Quality Management Framework.

Description

Management planning is critical for effective decision‐making, managing for recreation and conservation values, and addressing land management conflicts in parks. Management planning is often done for parks with complex and significant natural values, and multiple and potentially conflicting uses. It is done within the context of existing legislation, classification, and policies. Developing a management plan can be a complex and lengthy process, but one that provides a long‐term and comprehensive guide for managing a site’s conservation and recrea􀆟on values. The purpose of this brochure is to describe this process, provide an overview of the tools used in management planning, as well as opportunites for Albertans to be involved.
