Description

This guideline provides detailed guidance on suitable methods and approaches that should be used to assess air quality from emission sources. It sets out the statutory authority, an overview of the approach, guidance on appropriate technical methods and the information required to demonstrate that a source meets the Alberta Ambient Air Quality Objectives. It is not intended to provide a technical description of the theory behind air quality modelling - such information is widely available in other published documents, and references are provided within the text.

Description

Alberta’s ambient air quality objectives and guidelines are developed to protect Alberta’s air quality. They are intended to provide protection of the environment and human health to an extent technically and economically feasible, as well as socially and politically acceptable. This document provides objective levels for acrolein, as well as a short description of the substance and the effects of exposure to acrolein on humans, other animals, and vegetation.

Range plant communities and range health assessment guidelines for the Mixedgrass Natural Subregion of Alberta. Second approximation

Description

The mixedgrass natural subregion is a zone of transition between the Great Plains and fescue grasslands of the foothills fescue and foothills parkland natural subregions. The mixedgrass accounts... More ≫

Description

The mixedgrass natural subregion is a zone of transition between the Great Plains and fescue grasslands of the foothills fescue and foothills parkland natural subregions. The mixedgrass accounts for 19.8% of the grassland natural region area, and 2.9% of the area of Alberta. A feature of this guide is a soil correlation mechanism that provides more guidance in determining range site, an important link to range plant communities.

Description

The northern fescue natural subregion is a diverse subregion in east-central Alberta. The ecological diversity of this subregion creates a landscape that consists of a mosaic of different vegetative communities including a mixture of grasslands, weblands and shrublands. This first approximation addresses the most common grasslands and shrubland plant communities in the Northern Fescue. This guide represents the analysis of 349 plots described in the northern fescue natural subregion in which 22 plant communities are presented.
