Description
This document provided a comprehensive glossary of reclamation terminology used in Alberta as of 1998. It aimed to standardize definitions for terms relevant to reclamation planning, soil science, ecological classification, and regulatory practices, drawing from sources such as the Canada Department of Agriculture's Glossary of Terms in Soil Science (1976) and oil sands Environmental Impact Assessments and applications. It included definitions for soil horizons, wetland types, mining processes, and environmental risk concepts, and concluded with acronyms and references to Alberta legislation and organizations.
