Jamie Sterling, P.Geo. – Tetra Tech EBA Inc. Joel Kliner, P.Eng. – Tetra Tech EBA Inc. Charles Hunt, P.Eng. – Tetra Tech EBA Inc. Paper prepared for presentation at the “Emergency Repair & Reconstruction Transportation of Infrastructure Damaged by Catastrophic Environmental Events” Session (519B) of the 2014 Conference of the Transportation Association of Canada, Montreal, Quebec ABSTRACT Waterton National Park is in southwestern Alberta, it is the southernmost National Park in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. On June 19, 2013, over a 24 hour period, between 60 mm and 125 mm of rain fell (rainfall records provided by Parks Canada for the Akamina and Waterton Warden Office) on the steep mountain sides adjacent to the Akamina Parkway triggering catastrophic flooding, landslides, debris flows and debris floods. The widespread impacts from the various natural hazards resulted in severe impacts to the roadway and severed access to Akamina Lake, Cameron Lake and the associated nearby hiking and camping areas. The flooding and damage as experienced by the city of Calgary, during the same precipitation event, is described by the Government of Alberta as the worst in its recorded history. The Parkway is located in a geomorphically active mountainous area subject to regular flooding and debris flow events. The processes that led to the road damage were primarily related to inadequate control of debris and water passage at eight locations. Tetra Tech EBA was retained by Parks Canada, through their emergency services contractor, Maglio Installations, to provide emergency analyses and design guidance for remediation and mitigation along the Parkway.

They cover about 170,000 km2, are about 150 km wide, and have an estimated glacierized area of 38,613 km2. Mount Robson, at 3,954 m, is the highest peak.

Situated in the extreme southwestern corner of the province, this charming area of 220 square miles lies along the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains where they approach the International Boundary line, and takes the form of a rough square with a long L-shaped section to the east. Its western boundary is formed by the crest of the Rockies which separates Alberta from British Columbia; its northern by the Crowsnest Forest Reserve of Alberta; and its eastern boundary by the undulating prairie land of foot-hill ranches and homesteads. Its southern boundary is the Glacier National Park in Montana, with which it forms the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park. If there are grander and more imposing parts of the Rockies in Canada, there are few, if any, which give way to Waterton Lakes Park in colourful charm.
