It provides a snapshot of the current condition of the environment and the pressures that impact it. This document examines the state of the environment in Lacombe County through a scientific and socio-economic planning structure. The scientific approach focuses on analysing available data to identify and assess changes in the environment over time. The planning approach uses social norms to compare and rank alternative choices, to balance environmental, economic and social objectives, and to initiate management options. The report outlines community perception, scientific data, current environmental legislation and environmental extension programs. It is a compilation of information gathered from various sources and provides us with a baseline. It does not include management recommendations or future planning considerations. This document is a snapshot in time; it represents only the data that is available at the time of writing. Lacombe County is located in Central Alberta, straddling six towns and villages and bordering five counties. The County is mostly rural, with a strong industry component along the Queen Elizabeth II Highway and Highway 597. The County has approximately 10,000 residents and covers 712,960 acres or 2,885 km2. It is situated in both the Boreal Forest and Parkland Natural Regions of Alberta. It boasts a wide diversity of ecosystems, including numerous water bodies, and is home to the popular summer destinations of Gull, Buffalo and Sylvan Lakes. J.J. Collette Natural Area, which boasts a number of rare and special plants and animals, is also found within the County boundaries. Due to the geographic location and abundance of fertile farmland, the County faces some unique challenges. A very high percentage, 84%, of land is used for either agriculture or development, leaving only 16% of the lands in a natural ecological state. There is also a very large component of linear disturbance in the County, with up to 9.3% of the land within the County used by pipelines, transmission lines, roads etc. Nine environmental indicators were chosen to measure and report on the state of the environment. These indicators are based on various sources such as the Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development Water Quality Guidelines, Alberta Agriculture, and previously published State of the Watershed reports in the province. The indicators are grouped in four categories: land use, water quality, bio-indicators and human impacts. Where relevant, a three point scale of good, fair and poor was used to rank the indicators. Of the nine indicators, one indicator was measured ‘good’, two indicators were measured ‘fair’ and three were measured as ‘poor’. The remaining three indicators were not ranked, due either to insufficient data or the lack of a scale that was appropriate for the County. The following table summarizes the rankings. For indicators that lack a scale, the measurement in future reports will be based on the percentage of change that occurs between the years of reporting.

This information, along with views collected from the community in an extensive consultation process conducted in 2012, will help to determine priorities and make decisions. Lacombe County is developing an Environmental Management Plan, which is scheduled to be completed and released in 2014. This document will be distributed for public comment before it is adopted by Council. This is the first State of the Environment report to be written for Lacombe County. We will update this document on a regular schedule to accurately reflect changes in the environment in Lacombe County.

A Socio-Economic Evaluation of Sportsfishing Activity in Southern Alberta Interim Project Report INTROI)UCTION Recreational fishing is one of the most important recreational activities in Alberta. The report on Sports Fishing in Alberta, 1985, states that over 340,000 angling licences were purchased in the province and the total population of anglers exceeded 430,000. Approximately 5.4 million angler days were spent in Alberta and over $130 million was spent on fishing related activities. Clearly, sportsfishing is an important recreational activity and the fishery resource is the source of significant social benefits. A National Angler Survey is conducted every five years. However, the results of this survey are broad and aggregate in nature insofar that they do not address issues about specific sites. It is the purpose of this study to examine in detail the characteristics of anglers, and angling site choices, in the Southern region of Alberta. Fish and Wildlife agencies have collected considerable amounts of bio-physical information on fish habitat, water quality, biology and ecology.

  • Mountain Lakes Guide: Absaroka, Beartooth & Crazies
    2021 MOUNTAIN LAKES GUIDE Silver Lake ABSAROKA - BEARTOOTH & CRAZY MOUNTAINS Fellow Angler: This booklet is intended to pass on information collected over many years about the fishery of the Absaroka-Beartooth high country lakes. Since Pat Marcuson began surveying these lakes in 1967, many individuals have hefted a heavy pack and worked the high country for Fish, Wildlife and Parks. They have brought back the raw data and personal observations necessary to formulate management schemes for the 300+ lakes in this area containing fish. While the information presented here is not intended as a guide for hiking/camping or fishing techniques, it should help wilderness users to better plan their trips according to individual preferences and abilities. Fish species present in the Absaroka-Beartooth lakes include Yellowstone cutthroat trout, brook trout, rainbow trout, golden trout, arctic grayling, and variations of cutthroat/rainbow/golden trout hybrids. These lake fisheries generally fall into two categories: self-sustaining and stocked. Self-sustaining lakes have enough spawning habitat to allow fish to restock themselves year after year. These often contain so many fish that while fishing can be fast, the average fish size will be small. The average size and number of fish present change very little from year to year in most of these lakes. Lakes without spawning potential must be planted regularly to sustain a fishery. Standard stocking in the Beartooths is 50-100 Yellowstone cutthroat trout fingerlings per acre every eight years. Special situations may call for different species, numbers, or frequency of plants. For instance, lakes with heavy fishing pressure tend to be stocked more often and at higher densities.
