  • Monitoring for Invasive Mussels in Alberta’S Irrigation Infrastructure: 2017 Report
    Monitoring for Invasive Mussels in Alberta’s Irrigation Infrastructure: 2017 Report Alberta Agriculture and Forestry Water Quality Section Outlet of Sauder Reservoir January 2018 Introduction and Summary The Government of Alberta (GOA) is committed to protecting the province against aquatic invasive species (AIS), due to their negative ecological and economic effects. Invasive zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) and quagga mussels (Dreissena bugensis) are of prominent concern, as these dreissenid mussels attach to any solid submerged surface and rapidly multiply due to their high reproductive rates. They are also very difficult to contain and eradicate once established. Additionally, they are spreading closer to Alberta’s borders. Alberta’s irrigation industry contributes $3.6 billion to the provincial gross domestic product (GDP). Specifically, it contributes about 20% of the provincial agri-food sector GDP on 4.7% of the province’s cultivated land base (Paterson Earth & Water Consulting 2015). Alberta’s irrigation industry includes thirteen irrigation districts that supply water to more than 570,000 ha of farmland through infrastructure valued at $3.6 billion. This infrastructure includes 57 irrigation reservoirs along with 3,491 km of canals and 4,102 km of pipelines (ARD 2014; AF 2017). The irrigation conveyance system provides water to irrigators, municipalities, industries, and wetlands, while the reservoirs support recreational activities such as boating and fishing and provide habitat to fish and waterfowl. Invasive mussels are a concern to the irrigation industry as infestations will have a significant negative effect on water infrastructure and conveyance works due to their ability to completely clog pipelines and damage raw-water treatment systems and intakes.

  • Environmentally Significant Areas of Alberta Volume 2 Prepared By
    Environmentally Significant Areas of Alberta Volume 2 Prepared by: Sweetgrass Consultants Ltd. Calgary, AB for: Resource Data Division Alberta Environmental Protection Edmonton, Alberta March 1997 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Large portions of native habitats have been converted to other uses. Surface mining, oil and gas exploration, forestry, agricultural, industrial and urban developments will continue to put pressure on the native species and habitats. Clearing and fragmentation of natural habitats has been cited as a major area of concern with respect to management of natural systems. While there has been much attention to managing and protecting endangered species, a consensus is emerging that only a more broad-based ecosystem and landscape approach to preserving biological diversity will prevent species from becoming endangered in the first place. Environmentally Significant Areas (ESAs) are important, useful and often sensitive features of the landscape. As an integral component of sustainable development strategies, they provide long-term benefits to our society by maintaining ecological processes and by providing useful products. The identification and management of ESAs is a valuable addition to the traditional socio-economic factors which have largely determined land use planning in the past. The first ESA study done in Alberta was in 1983 for the Calgary Regional Planning Commission region. Numerous ESA studies were subsequently conducted through the late 1980s and early 1990s. ESA studies of the Parkland, Grassland, Canadian Shield, Foothills and Boreal Forest Natural Regions are now all completed while the Rocky Mountain Natural Region has been only partially completed. Four factors regarding the physical state of the site were considered when assessing the overall level of significance of each ESA: representativeness, diversity, naturalness, and ecological integrity.

    BIBLIOGRAPHY -ON THE LIMNOLOGY AND FISHERIES. OF CANADIAN FRESHWATERS. NO .''5 (REVISED). by H.F.NICHOLSON Great Lakes Biolimnology Laboratory, Canada Centre for Inland Waters, 867 Lakeshore Road, Burlington, Ontario. L7R 4A6 PREFACE This is a revised edition of Bibliography No.5, published in 1978 as Fish. Environm.Can., Fish.Mar.Serv., Techn.Rept., (804). Due to budget restrictions and the high cost of printing, combined with an expanding distribution list, it is no longer possible to publish this series as Technical Reports. Instead, each number will be issued in this present looseleaf form as an unpublished report of the Great Lakes Biolimnology Laboratory. Please note that those from outside Canada requesting copies of this series will be sent the Reference Indexes only. However, the Canadian Freshwater Features Section will be sent if specifically requested. This issue can be referenced as:- Nicholson, H.F. 1982. "Bibliography on the limnology and fisheries of Canadian freshwaters. No.5(revised)". Can.Dept.Fish.Oceans, Pacific & Freshw.Fish., Great Lakes Biolimnol.Lab., Unpubl.Rept. FORMAT The bibliography is divided into two sections:- (1). Reference Index Each of these references contains information on the limnology and fisheries of Canadian freshwaters. They are numbered and appear in numerical order. This enumeration is consecutive and continuous through the bibliography series. (2). Freshwater Feature Index This section is divided into alphabetical order of provinces and within each province the freshwater feature names are in alphabetical order. The coordinates (in minutes and degrees, latitude and longitude) are given for each feature except for British Columbia where, for the most part, the quadrilateral indexing system is used.

  • Optimizing Alberta Parks
    E20-G-0492 1 Goals • Redesign and optimize the Alberta parks system for current budget realities, visitation, and expectation of Albertans. • Ensure that sites retained by Parks Operations Division are aligned with it’s purpose and mandate. That is, that the recreation, tourism and conservation features of the site are proportional to the resources put into managing them. o A sub-goal is to maintain system ‘integrity’. That is, assess options for maintaining conservation and recreation framework goal, regardless of who manages. I.e., reduce duplication before rare/unique • Parks Operations Division: managing with excellence those parks and protected areas of provincial significance (recreation, tourism, and conservation values) with a commitment to a more integrated approach. • Develop rationalization and evaluation criteria to determine: - Which sites are provincially significant, serve an essential function to Albertans and need to be retained by AEP to manage. o Which of these sites are the ‘crown jewels’ and classic provincial parks to be managed by Parks Operation Division. o Which sites should be transferred to Lands Division to be managed as protected areas as part of the matrix of conservation-oriented lands in Alberta. - Which sites do not meet the threshold of provincial significance, are costly to manage with little return to Crown or value for Albertans, and should be either: o Deregulated to become vacant public land o Deregulated and divested to a third party (municipality, etc.) to run o Kept as-is but entered into a partnership model to run or operate (FOA, partnership, etc.) – assumption: would be held within Parks Operations Division Steps 1.
