Description

This framework is intended to identify potential acidification issues at an early stage and to establish a tiered approach to addressing these issues depending on their magnitude. Interpretation of the framework is supported by the companion Handbook for Assessing Regional Acid Deposition Exceedances, which also includes an updated critical load method for industrial regulatory applications within Alberta's air management system. This record also includes a document containing stakeholder comments on the original draft framework, and Environment and Parks' responses to these comments.

Description

An air quality modelling assessment is usually undertaken as part of the approval process to understand the impact of industrial activity on the surrounding ambient air. The Air Quality Model Guideline provides guidance on the appropriate modelling to be undertaken in Alberta when one of these assessments are required. Also included are three companion documents. The first provides clarification on interpreting modelling results for typical emission scenarios, when required by the guideline. The second provides a companion spreadsheet for determining whether or not the modelling terrain is considered complex as per Section 3.0 of the guideline. The third provides stakeholder comments to the original draft guideline [2020] and Environment and Parks response to these comments.

Description

The Air Monitoring Directive (2016) supersedes the original 1989 Air Monitoring Directive and the 2006 Amendments to the Air Monitoring Directive, 1989. Alberta’s Air Monitoring Directive (AMD) sets out the requirements for monitoring and reporting air quality in the province. The AMD is made up of nine chapters, which will be reviewed and revised as needed. Amendments or new draft chapters will be posted for public review. Note that Chapter 2 of the AMD was repealed as of December 2019. See the related tab of this record to view superseded and repealed versions of directive chapters.
