Description

Environmental assessment registry documents pertaining to the proposed Shell Canada Limited Quest Carbon Capture & Storage Project. The proposal involves capture, transport and storage of CO2, however provincial EIA is only required for the storage component of the proposed project. 1.2 million tonnes of CO2 per year would be captured and transported by pipeline to injections wells 2km below surface in Basal Cambrian Sands. The approximate location of the storage area is in the County of Thorhild. The EIA was deemed complete in 2011. For more information on the environmental assessment process visit ea.alberta.ca.

Description

This study was initialized to test and validate an innovative survey technique adopting the BioSonics DT-X echosounder, which has been successfully applied for surveying vegetation and sediment in many estuary and lake systems, but not for a shallow riverine system, like the Bow River in Alberta, Canada. The site for this study was selected to be a 500 meter reach on the Bow River just below the City of Calgary’s major wastewater treatment plant, the Bonnybrook Plant, where substantial levels of aquatic vegetation exist during summer. The BioSonics survey was performed three times under different growing seasons in 2010.

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

The report evaluates longitudinal trends in benthic invertebrate and epilithic algal communities sampled from long-term river network sites on the Bow River in 2006. It also compares long-term trends in historical (1983-1992) and 2006 data. Responses to nutrient enrichment are clearly visible below Calgary: invertebrates and algae thrive in fast flowing (erosional) areas, but in slow flowing (depositional) areas lower diversities indicate stress. At Cochrane invertebrates and algae are impacted by strong diurnal fluctuations in river discharge resulting from hydro-electric dam operation.
