Description

The Alberta Acid Deposition Management Framework stipulates that Alberta Environment is responsible for conducting an evaluation of the acid deposition monitoring data in the province, as well as conducting an evaluation of receptor sensitivity. The present study addresses the latter of these two requirements with respect to potentially acid sensitive soils in the Edmonton East Half map sheet. The objective of this receptor sensitivity study is to provide an estimate of the critical load for the soil types and water bodies in the Edmonton West study area. On the basis of these critical loads estimates, a recommendation regarding the sensitivity of the study area as a whole is provided.

Description

In this study, the available methods to derive critical loads are reviewed, and those judged applicable to derivation to site-specific critical loads, are applied to an area in east-central Alberta (The Provost Esther grid cell or study area). The two specific objectives of this study are development of methodology and estimation of critical load.
