Description

This document focuses on Tier 1 soil and groundwater remediation guidelines, the process used to develop them, and the manner in which they should be applied. Alberta's framework for the management of contaminated sites is designed to achieve three policy outcomes: pollution prevention, health protection, and productive use. Under this framework, three management options are provided: Tier 1, Tier 2, and Exposure Control. Tier 1 remediation guidelines are generic; that is, they are developed to protect sites at the more sensitive end of the range and can therefore be used at most sites without modification.

Description

The Alberta Water and Wastewater Operator Certification program requires that operators have post-secondary education, or equivalent, to meet the requirements for Levels III and IV certification. Certification program administrators across North America recognize that many operators have not had the opportunity to attend formal post-secondary education programs. Therefore, the Continuing Education Unit (CEU) system can be utilized by operators to gain the equivalent of post-secondary education. In addition, effective January 1, 2005, operators in Alberta require between 0.6 and 3.6 CEU for renewal every 3-year renewal period (in some cases, operators with multiple certificates require more than 3.6 CEU).
