Description

Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development (ESRD) has developed environmental management frameworks for air quality and surface water quality under the South Saskatchewan Regional Plan. These frameworks are designed to maintain flexibility and proactively manage the cumulative effects of human activity on ambient air quality and surface water quality within the South Saskatchewan Region. The frameworks do not replace existing regulatory processes. They contribute to managing growth pressures on air, land and water over the coming decades, adding to and complementing existing policies, legislation, regulations and management tools. The frameworks are policy documents that will be given legal authority as specified in the regional plan, and through the mandates and legislation of Environment and Sustainable Resource Development and, potentially, other government departments.
