Given that the subject properties axe not visible from Highway 20, it is untikely that they will be developed for commercial uses. Further, the properties are abutted by industrial uses to the north and east and no land use conflicts will emerge from the proposed rezoning.

Staff have consulted with other municipal deparhrents and two concerns were registered. Public Works has requested tlat any redundant services to the property line be removed- Emergency services has indicated they have no initial concems but they may require input on the specific tlpes of industrial development that are proposed in the firture-

Given the preceding, staff are prepared to support the application.

Ms. Helen Dietz Chief Administrative Officer Town of Sylvan Lake 4926 - 50 Avenue Sylvan Lake AB T4S 1A1

Dear Ms. Dietz:

I am pleased to announce the call for submissions for the second year of the Alberta Consumer Champion Awards. This award program honours Albeftans who go the extra mile to promote consumer protection and education.

Consumer champions are individuals and organizations that exceed the expectations of Alberta's consumer protection legislation. Their efforts contribute to building a fair and balanced Alberta marketplace.

Two changes to this year's program allow better recognition of the diversity of programs and services provided to Alberta consumers. First, the eligibility criteria have been expanded to include ongoing programs and services as well as recent projects, events and activities. There is also a new award category to recognize industry and trade associations.

I particularly look forward to paying tribute to an individual for their long term contribution to consumer protection and awareness with the Minister's Award.

The enclosed brochure provides additional information about the categories and criteria for this year's awards. Please review the attached forms and ensure they are completed fully as part of your submission.

Submissions must be received in the Consumer Services Branch office by January 24,2007. Only Alberta residents or organizations that operate in Alberta and provide services or programs directly for the benefit of Alberta consumers may make a submission. tf ...t2 203 Letislature Building, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada T5K 286 Telephone 780/415-4855, Fax 780/415-4853

Dear Ms. Dietz:

lwould like to inform you that the Drainage Council and Alberta Environment have recently commenced a review of Alberta's Drainage District legislation and policies and invite the participation of you or your organization.

The purpose of this review is to determine if the current policy continues to meet the needs of all the stakeholders involved with drainage districts and to gather suggestions for changes that may allow policy and legislation to be modified, if necessary, to align with the Water for Life strategy and other provincial policy.

Stakeholders have been tentatively identified by the policy review steering committee, the Drainage Council and Alberta Environment. Although this list is believed to be complete, we would be interested to hear of any other groups, local authorities or agencies that you think may have an interest. The current list includes all nine of the province's drainage districts, non- government organizations, the rural and urban municipalities in which the districts are located and land owners who have indicated an interest in oarticiDation.

The project Steering Committee will provide general oversight for the review. lts members are: 1) Blaine Fenske - Daysland Drainage District and a past member of Dralnage Council 2) Jamie Wuite - Alberta Agriculture, Food and Rural Development Water Management Specialist 3) Doug Yeremy - Alberta Environment Approvals Team Leader 4) Karen Haugen-Kozyra - Alberta Agriculture, Food and Rural Development 5) Al Corbett - Alberta Environment representative to Drainage Council

A project Stakeholders Advisory Team is being assembled to develop the draft policy review recommendations. It is our intention that the organizations or individuals would be represented as follows:

1) Drainage Districts - two appointees, possibly a Board member or employee and one ratepayer. Maximum number of 18 2) Local Authorities - one appointee each. Approximate number of 12 3) Non-Government organizations - one appointee each 4) Government - one appointee from each selected department (Agriculture, Food and Rural Development, Environment, Sustainable Resources Development, Municipal Affairs) Your participation in this review will ensure that it is complete as possible at this time and I have attached the current DRAFT Terms of Reference. Please review this document and indicate the interest of your organization in participation in this review, possible representation and any concerns you may nave.

The Drainage Council would like to begin this review as soon as possible and has suggested the followlng tentative meeting dates,

December 20, 2006 January 10,2007 January 17, 2OO7 January 24,2007

Please email me with a date preference and an alternate from this list. We will attemot to include as many stakeholders as possible in the flrst meeting but may be limited in possible choices.

lf you have any questions or would ljke further information about the Drainage Districts policy review, please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected] , at telephone (7gb) 960_ 86'14 or at the address above.

Drainage Districts Review

1.0 lntroduction A review of the role of Alberta's nine Drainage Districts in required ensuring that they are able to contribute positively to the Alberta advantage. The role of the Drainage Districts has remained relatively static since their inception in 19'18, However there are a number of challenges or pressures to which the districts must respond, if they are to continue to exist.

Drainage districts in Alberta are established and administered under the Drainage Districts Act most recently revised in 2000 and coming into effect January 1, 2002. Drainage districts have municipal status, thereby giving them the authority to elect boards of trustees, hire administrators, set taxation rates, collect taxes and to construct, maintain and operate drainage works. The focus of drainage districts from inception until today has been the improvement of drainage from arable Iands allowing increased agricultural production. Many districts, however, now wish to broaden their scope to include other water management issues to better serve their ratepayers. Some have taken steps in this direction.

The Government of Alberta confirmed their approach to water management through the l4laler for Life, Alberta's Sfrafegy for Sustainability. This strategy outlines key directions and priorities to guide future water management in Alberta. Agricultural producers see an opportunity to encourage practices that align with the strategy while maintaining the need to adequately management water on agricultural land. The Drainage Districts Review process will draw on the strategy and contribute to the advancement of a new agricultural water management model.

The nine drainage districts currently operating under the Act are located in Central Alberta parkland areas (see attachment 1). The districts vary in size from fewer than 20 ratepayers on an area of about 1400 hectares to over 170 ratepayers on an area of over 22,500 hectares.

Drainage districts have been under increased pressure in recent years due to; 1) depressed commodity prices, 2) reduced public support for agricultural drainage, 3) increased agricultural input costs, 4) increased taxation at all levels, 5) increased unauthorized drainage into the established districts, 6) increased urbanization of the agricultural areas, 7) increased interest in maintenance of wetlands, 8) increasing cost of administration and 9) an increased level of service demanded by ratepayers.

These pressures have lead elected boards of trustees to question the value of maintaining these districts in their current form, particularly the smaller districts close to large urban areas. The larger districts and districts more remote from urban areas are currently better able to deal with the pressures, however, they too see a need to align drainage districts with government policy such as Water for Life and Sustainable Resource and Environmental Management.

Alberta Environment is responsible for the administration of the Water Act, the Drainage Districts Act, Drainage Council and water management. Drainage Council, with support from Alberta Environment, will be responsible for the review of the role of drainage districts to ensure that the districts are able to address current and future anticipated needs of those Albertans who reside within the districts. Drainage Council will engage stakeholders, as well as review current legislation and policy. Drainage Council will then report back to Alberta Environment with their recommendations.

Phase I will focus on identification of the current needs of drainage district policy. These may include, but will not be limited to, determining conflicts in current policy, reviewing legislation, establishing support requirements and stakeholder involvement. Participants will also recommend a general set of water management guidelines, priorities and strategies that will provide direction for phase ll.

Phase ll will identify actions required to implement the recommendations.

2.0 Objectives The main objectives for phase one plan are to:

1. Gather information regarding the perceived role of drainage districts based on: - Stakeholder input and current, relevant knowledge ofthe drainage needs, - Gurrent legislation and its ability to meet the current and anticipated future needs of agricultural water management. - Major water management issues as identified by stakeholders and participating government agencies and - Potential performance monitoring requirements that will aid measuring progress and outcomes relative to the olan.

2. Provide a foundation for the second phase by: - Identify key data gaps that need to be filled to improve water management in the future (and to identify costs, benefits and sources for gathering this information). - Providing a comprehensive account ofthe major issues, resources, goals and priorities and by setting the stage for new and innovative partnerships for sustainability. - Engaging the phase one stakeholder committee in significant capacity building activities and - Drafting recommendations for consideration in Phase ll.

3.0 Background Information

3.1 Planning Area Geographically, the drainage districts cover a varied terrain in central Alberta. Three districts are located in the North Saskatchewan River basin near Edmonton, four in the Battle River basin near Camrose and Wetaskiwin and two are in the Red Deer basin

Noyeuhsr-21,2!!!Ot*bw4;4444Draft Pase 2 oi lP{0 | -? t DRAFT

southwest of Red Deer. Other districts have failed and been absorbed into existinq loca authorities (i.e. Viking near Viking).

The drainage districts are located within the Parkland Natural Region in east-central Alberta. This area is an extremely rich and diverse landscape. characterized by productive soils and a climatic regime suitable for agricultural production. All the distrlcts are located on lands that once supported intermittent water bodies ranging from small sloughs to large, shallow lakes. The undedying lands have been found to be highly productive and now support cereal forage production. Most of the drainage districts are fully developed and only minimal new drainage is occurring within the district boundaries.

3.2 Current Conditions As indicated earlier, the existing drainage districts are fully developed. Currently, expansion of some districts is being considered to include lands bordering districts. These bordering lands generally have improved ditch systems that benefit from the districts works but do not support the district financially. This causes the district to invest further to improve their internal works while no additional support is available.

Drainage district landowners are also seeing some benefit to controlling drainage works. The Big Hay Lake District has worked in cooperation with Ducks Unlimited Canada to re- establish large wetlands. This required annexation of some surrounding lands as well as additional infrastructure investment.

Many landowners are also investigating environmental farm plans. These support mechanisms provide an avenue to improve farm water management practices while maintaining their production levels. Re-evaluating drainage is one issue they are dealing with.

3.3 Summary of lssues Water management demands from urban, rural, and industrial areas of the economy are impacting agricultural practices, at times negatively. As expectations increase, water managemenl must become correspondingly more strategic to ensure that agricultural practices are continuously improved, and that the health and integrity of the aquatic environment is protected.

3.3.1 Drainage Policy AENV is currently working with many stakeholders to implement a Wetland Policy that is supportive of the Water for Life strategy. Support of large drainage areas appears to be at odds with this policy. A review of drainage district policy is an opportunity to coordinate. these two directions that may suppod drainage within

>PYUii^^^^iai^ rl, ^-^^^dr EdD -

3.3.2 Urbanization of Farmland This raises a specific challenge within districts close to major urban areas. While farm operators see value is draining intermittent wet areas that would otherwise support production, the developers and homebuyers do not see these benefits. This leads to conflicts in taxation by districts and other local authorities. Since the drainage is usually effectively managed, the new acreage owners see no value is continuing to support drainage.

7 t'venhq ) 7 . Pase 3 o{ 20068a+tbe+43r)404Draft 4l l!1€ | DRAFT

3.3.3 Unauthorized Drainage Farm operators bordering the drainage districts see that the districts have added value to the lands within the boundary through drainage improvement. This leads to construction of ditches beyond the district boundary. These new ditches drain into the district works whiJe no financial support is given. Many of these ditches are illegal and require AENV staff investigate and negotiate solutions.

3.3.4 Taxation Districts are managed by elected trustees working at minimum compensation. Support to increase the wage paid to these positions is minimal due to the other financial burdens currently facing farm operators. The trustees are then faced with either allowing the district to be disbanded or continuing to work without sufficient remuneralton.

Districts also are attempting to reduce their maintenance requirements to control taxation. Although this leads to significant innovation, it also leads some landowners to become frustrated with a oerceived lack of action if drainaoe is impacted.

3.3.5 lncome lmpacts Farm operators have been affected by a number of contrasting cost impacts in recent years. Depressed commodity prices in most sectors of agriculture plus increasing input costs have caused a general weakness in the agricultural economy. Continued increase of drainage taxation has been seen as negative while expectations increase to improve drainage allowing greater production.

3.3.6 WetlandsMaintenance Wetland areas have taken on a higher intrinsic value today than previously although no mechanism has been developed to fund landowners who wish to maintain these areas at the detriment of their farm ooeration. Landowners see a loss of production on wetlands and higher input costs on adjacent fields. Maintaining wetlands also reduce drainage district income as their tax base is assessed on measurement of drained areas.

3.3.7 AdministrationCosts As farm incomes drop and farmers increasingly feel a need to earn off-farm income, there is pressure to pay higher wages for administration increases. Wages for staff and for the board members to ensure the district business is well documented continues to increase. Additional costs under other legislated requirements (i.e. FOIP, grant applications) exert upward pressure on all aspects of administration.

3.3.8 Sustaining Biodiversity, Ecosystem Protection and Wildlife Habitat In working to coordinate Water for Life policy, there may be opportunity to identify areas in which drainage would provide only minimal benefit but would negatively impact significant wetlands. Drainage districts members and Drainage Council

Novttn bcr 2 7. ) 00 (Et+c4.er13i844Draft Page 4 of 1010 .?t I DRAFT

have indicated that there may be instances that drainage would not take place if other suDDofts were avallable.

3.4 Integrated Watershed Planning and Existing Local Watershed Groups While land and water are closely linked through the hydrological cycle, these resources have not historically been managed or administered in a fully integrated manner. Managing water on the basis of individual watersheds requires a high level of cooperation between different agencies and jurisdictions including drainage districts. This new and more integrated watershed approach, in the form of shared governance through oartnerships, is a cornerstone of the provincial water strategy.

Local watershed groups already active in the river basins that include drainage districts have taken steps in this direction and provide a foundation for further progress. Drainage districts will continue lo function within the watersheds and they need to be partners in achieving long-term sustainable watershed management. The drainage districts structure, though decades old, allows for shared governance although changes to legislation may be required to ensure success. Addressing this aspect of agricultural water management will require improved communication between watershed groups and producers.

3.5 Policy and Legislative Context In Alberta, lhe Water Act and the Framework for Water Management Planning provide the legislative and policy context for the design and development of watershed management plans. This Terms of Reference considers the framework and other provincial policies and legislation. Although the Drainage Districts Act is a minor part of this suite of watershed management legislation, it is currently at odds with some significant areas of policy and needs to be reconsidered to align agricultural drainage policy with current directions.

This plan will reflect current legislation, policy, principles and objectives of Albefta's Commitment to Sustainable Resource and Environmental Management, lhe Water Ac| Framework for Water Management Planning, Water For Life: Albefta's Strategy for Sustainability and the Rural Development Strategy.

3.5.1 The Water Act In '1999, the Alberta Government replaced the Wafer Resources Acf with the new Water Act. The objective was to bring the province's water management legislation and policy up to date so it could more effectively address today's water management demands and challenges. lt should be noted that, although the Drainage Districts legislation was recently updated, it did not incorporate the principles of the new water policy. The new Water Act focuses on managing and protecting Alberta's water and streamlining administrative processes.

The following Water Act highlights are particularly relevant to this planning process:

. lhe Framework for Water Management Planntng was a Wafer Act requirement and is designed to provide direction for the development of water managemenl plans and to ensure the sustainable management of Alberta's water resources.

. the Water Acf requires that a strategy for protection of the aquatic environment be part of the provincial water management planning framework.

Page 5 of N on t:!r 2J-,i-Q&€t*,1ter24;)!44 Dr aft &t l!'10 | DRAFT

the Water Act requires that Albertans have the opportunity to provide advice on and understand water management.

3.5.2 Municipal Government Act Under this Act, municipalities may plan for the development and use of land, and maintain and improve the quality of the physical environment. They therefore have the responsibility of determining land use practices, whiih can impact water quality. Although the Drainage Districts Act governs drainage districts, the MGA also applies to their administration.

3.5.3 Water for Life: Alherta's Strategy for Sustainahility Alberta's provincial water strategy was finalized in November 2003 and promotes a watershed approach for water management, planning and decision-making. The strategy was developed on the basis of extensive provincial consultation and outlines key directions, strategies and actions to manage Alberta's water resources into the future.

Two key principles of the strategy are: - Alberta's water resources must be managed within the capacity of indlvidual watersheds. - Citizens, communities, industry and government must share responsibility for water management in Alberta and work together to improve conditions in their local watershed.

3.5.4 Strategy for the Protection of the Aquatic Environment Alberta Environment strategy for the protection of aquatic environment requires that all stakeholders be fully engaged in the planning and management of the strategy. Drainage districts impact large areas of three river basins. Without their input and cooperation, there may be a negative impact on basin plans.

3.5,5 Rural Development Strategy Alberta Agriculture's Rural Development Strategy provides "leadership and direction for research and best practices, information sharing, and the development of tools for communities to use to adapt to change and develop sustainable communities.

Agriculture practices in rural Alberta can and do have a direct impact on the quality of Alberta's land, air and water. More needs to be done to work with industries rn their management practices to balance the importance of promoting economic development, expanding tourism, and preserving the environment. Consistent wrth Alberta's new Water for Life strategy, action must be taken to make the best use of Alberta's water resources ... "

tlleJn 2 t)058tte#,-;446 Draft Page 6 of 1040 L!t:2i. 4t | DRAFT

activities occurring in Central Alberta. Some key basin activities to be considered in this process are:

North Saskatchewan Watershed Alliance - State of the Basin Report and Basin Planning The North Saskatchewan Watershed Alliance (NSWA) has completed a state of the basin report and preparing to undertake a watershed planning exercise for the North Saskatchewan River basin, Drainage policy relating to drainage districts will not have a significant impact on this level of planning, however, this aspect of agricultural policy should be considered.

Battle River Watershed Plan Four of the nine districts are located in the Battle River basin and drainage policy may have a greater impact than previously anticipated. This review may have to be considered within the conlext of the Battle River olan.

Local Watershed Groups A number of local watershed protection groups are already active within the basins affected by this review and these will also be involved in the planning process. Most notable groups not yet mentioned are the Vermilion River Watershed lnitiative and the Red Deer River Watershed Alliance. The Vermilion group has included participation of one drainage district. The participation of these groups will be particularly important when considering land use management strategies relating to water quality and quantity issues.

4.0 Planning Products and Outcomes Key outcomes of this process include: - Knowledge of impact of drainage policy on agricultufal sustainability. - lmproved understanding of wetland policy implementation on drainage districts. - ldentification of opportunities to coordinate policies with the Environmental Farm Plan program. - Educated and aware Stakeholders and Public

Phase One Draft Review Plan The principal product to be generated through this planning process is a set of stakeholder recommendations for the completion of ohase one. The stakeholders' recommendations will outline preferred management priorities, guidelines and objectives as well as recommendations for water issues, including but not limited to drainage, identified in the process. Final recommendations of the stakeholder committee will be submitted to the Minister of Environment for consideration.

The Drainage Councll will complete a draft plan and conduct a public review before finalizing the document.

5.0 Phase One Planning Process and Structure

5.1 Steering Committee ldentification and Workplan

gn 2 0 (i 6 €ttlebe;.4-, D r aft Page 7 of 1040 &v fur?l- -2Ql6 4t | DRAFT

It is proposed that the Drainage Council lead the review process. The Council will require Alberta Environment staff to assist in committee composition and development of the workplan. The Council will then work with stakeholders to ensure a complete review of applicable policy, legislation and other significant issues is assembled.

On completion of stakeholder participation, the Council will draft the report and recommendations for submission to the department.

5.2 Public Consultation and Stakeholder Participation Requirements

ln accordance with the lvafer A ct, Framework and provincial water strategy, stakeholder and public consultation is an essential part of any water planning process. Stakeholder consultation is initiated in the Terms of Reference stage and continues through to the submission of a recommended draft plan. Broad public consultation will focus development of a complete issues inventory and the review plan.

A detailed "Public Consultation and Communications Plan" will be developed to guide implementation of the consultation process and goals. These details will be developed in consultation with stakeholders to ensure the process suits everyone's needs to the greatest degree possible

5.2.1 Public Consultation Objectives The two basic objectives for public consultation are: (1) an opportunity for citizens to understand the issues and resource management challenges being faced, and (2) an opportunity to help define the full spectrum of issues and provide input regarding preferred solutions and options for water management in the basin.

5.2.2 Key Stakeholder Sectors and Groups The following sectors have been identified in the drainage districts. Stakeholder representation on the advisory committee will be organized around knowledge of these sector categories:

Agriculture - Grazing/Livestock/Cropping

Industry (includes energy)

EnvironmenVHabitat

Municipai

WPACS

5.3 Roles, Responsibilities and Accountability of Participants

Phase I of the Drainage Districts Review process will be led Drainage Council and facilitated by Alberta Environment, through Regional Services.

3.0 Discussion

Administration has had some discussion of possibilities that may form a grant application and are seeKtng additional ideas and input from Council that hopefully will result in the consensus for a project of which we would apply for.

The initial process involves the submission of an "Expression of Interest" these are Teceived on an on-oojno basis to provincial governement. The Expression of Interest would then be reviewed. screened, and uo-on acceptance would allow the applicant to submit a detailed project proposal.

Talking to the granting agency it has been made clear that the agency is seeking quality, djstinctive pro.iects that are very unique and set apart from the more 'normal" projects for which grant funding is normally applied for. Administration feels that for our community an excellent submission may be the Marina Expansion. jt meets the mandate of tlvo of the four key activities those being economic groMh and community capacity, quality of life and infrastructufe. The partnering element of the project as well as the regional interest and benefits could be benefiting factors in the grant fundrng acceptance. 4.0 Conclusion

The Town of sylvan Lake should take advantage of this grant funding opportunity and through discussion determine a suitable project. Administration would value anv inDut and direction that Council would offer.
