Description

Albertans shared their feedback on the draft Mooring Disturbance Standard in May 2020 and from November 2 to December 14, 2020 through two online surveys. The purpose of the disturbance standard is to set the maximum acceptable footprint for temporary seasonal docks, temporary seasonal boat lifts and associated mooring structures for personal recreational purposes on the beds and shores of Alberta’s recreational lakes and rivers that are public land owned by the Crown. The disturbance standard creates a general permission for most waterfront, semi-waterfront and municipal dock owners and eliminates the need for them to apply for an authorization if they abide by the standards.
