Description

This guideline outlines procedures for temporary suspension of a manure storage facility. Emphasis is given to temporary suspension of earthen liquid manure storage facilities (EMS) because of the increased risk posed by liquid manure. This guideline was developed by the Technical Advisory Group, a partnership between Agriculture and Rural Development, the Natural Resources Conservation Board and the agricultural industry.

Description

This follow-up investigation and screening level HHRA update was completed to address data gaps and recommendations outlined in the HHRA previously conducted by Golder in 2010 and 201. Specifically, the objective of this investigation was to collect additional seasonal groundwater and soil vapour data at the site, and to update the previous HHRA based on this new data. The soil vapour sampling events carried out as part of this investigation targeted times of year when groundwater levels were expected to be at their approximate lowest and the vapour risk was assumed to be at its approximate highest.

Soil and groundwater remediation guidelines for diethyelene glycol and triethylene glycol

Description

Glycols, including diethyelene glycol (DEG) and triethylene glycol (TEG), have a wide range of uses including chemical feedstocks, solvents and antifreeze. In addition, glycols are used in the... More ≫

Description

Glycols, including diethyelene glycol (DEG) and triethylene glycol (TEG), have a wide range of uses including chemical feedstocks, solvents and antifreeze. In addition, glycols are used in the dehydration of natural gas streams. However, no soil or groundwater remediation guidelines have been published provincially or federally to date for these amines. This document develops proposed soil and groundwater remediation guidelines for DEG and TEG consistent with Alberta Environment protocol.

Description

Monoethanolamine (MEA) and diethanolamine (DEA), part of the alkanolamine product family, have received widespread use in industrial processes and consumer products since their introduction in the late 1920s. However, no soil or groundwater remediation guidelines have been published provincially or federally to date for these amines. This document develops proposed soil and groundwater remediation guidelines for MEA and DEA consistent with the Alberta Environment framework for the management of contaminated sites.
