Description

This planning document presents the GOA's resource management policy for the public lands and resources within the area. It is intended to be a guide for resource managers, industry and the public with responsibility or interest in the area, rather than a regulatory mechanism. Resource potentials and opportunities for development are identified with a view to assisting in the economic progress of Alberta. The plan is sufficiently flexible so that all future proposals for land use and development may be considered.
