Description

This data file contains NAD83(CSRS)v7 Epoch 2010 and CGVD2013 coordinated data for 32,971 published ASCMs. The coordinate and elevation information for these ASCMs are based on the NAD83V7.0.0.AB.1 provincial readjustment of the Alberta Survey Control network. As a result, the geographic coordinate data is referenced to the North American Datum of 1983 Canadian Spatial Reference System version 7 geometric reference frame at Epoch 2010 (i.e., NAD83(CSRS)v7 E2010). The elevation data is referenced to the Canadian Geodetic Vertical Datum of 2013 (CGVD2013). This spreadsheet is current to November 6, 2020.

Description

This provides specific guidance to stakeholders when assessing the additionality of a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions or sequestration of GHGs under the Alberta emission offset system. In order to demonstrate the additionality of the activities that are included or proposed to be included in the development or revision of an emission offset quantification protocol, the use of the tools contained in this technical guidance is a requirement for both the Alberta Climate Change Office and stakeholders. This document explains both the roles each of these parties play, and the process used for reviewing and assessing additionality during protocol development or revision.

Description

As part of the government's response to the June 2013 flooding in Southern Alberta, the Southern Alberta Fisheries Habitat Enhancement and Sustainability (FISHES) Program was established with the aim of mitigating the flood-related effects on fish and fish habitat in the short term and to re-establish a healthy aquatic environment over the longer term. In the absence of an existing process, a number of new tools were developed by the FISHES Program to support effective decision making and the allocation of program funds. The Project Selection and Priority Ranking Tool was developed to help evaluate potential projects based on thirteen biological, social and economic criteria which are weighted to reflect both provincial fisheries management priorities and local fisheries issues and concerns.
