For agencies involved in the development of this plan, changes in departmental structure are shown below. (This list does not include agencies that retain the same name).

It applies only to public land within the Athabasca I River Sandbills planning area, not to private or federal lands. The plan presents the Government of Albertas resource management policy for public land and resources within the area. It is intended to be a guide for resource managers, industry and the public with responsibilities or I interests 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. No legitimate proposals will be I categorically rejected. Energy resource decisions are subject to the application of regulatory approval processes under the jurisdiction of the Minister of Energy. This plan may influence regulatory decisions, but will not result in the categorical approval or rejection of energy proposals. I The provincial government is committed to serving Albertans. Should a proposal not be in keeping with the provisions of the plan, staff will work with the proponent to explore alternative means for accommodating the proposal in a more appropriate location, either in this planning area or on other public lands. The rejection of I any proposal will be done only in writing by the Minister of Environmental Protection or his designate. A detailed outline for implementation will be provided for this local plan in order to identify the necessary implementation actions and roles. This implementation will also provide for the periodic review of the plan so I that it may accommodate changing needs and situations. Wherever possible, the private sector will be provided with the opportunity to be actively involved in the operational delivery of the plan. I Implementation is subject to the normal budgetary approval process. In establishing overall priorities, opportunities in other planning areas and areas currently outside the planning process will be considered. I While the plan identifies resource potentials and opportunities, the realization of these may require the dedication of major amounts of public funds. The plan will be used on the understanding that any actions required for implementation will be undertaken only as budgetary approvals are given in the normal way. The I private sector will be given the first opportunity to provide any development required. This plan has no legal status and is subject to revisions or review at the discretion of the Minister of I Environmental Protection.

  • 6.9 Wildlife Management Unit 350 Moose Section Authors
    6.9 Wildlife Management Unit 350 moose Section Authors: Al Fontaine and Robb Stavne Historically, WMU 350 was part of Alberta’s Northern Moose Management Program and was surveyed annually over the winters of 1993/94 to 1997/98 (Lynch 1997). The WMU was again surveyed during the winter of 2001/02. Attempts were made to survey the WMU during the winter of 2005/06, but poor weather and snow conditions forced the cancellation of the survey in its early stages. WMU 350 receives substantial hunting pressure by hunters from First Nations and Métis communities, and it is also a highly desirable WMU for recreational hunters given historical moose populations in the WMU, ease of access, and relative proximity to major urban centres. Therefore, regular moose surveys in WMU 350 are important to assess moose population status and trends in order to properly manage the resource. Current information on moose populations and distribution is also required for proper habitat and land use management. 6.9.1 Study area WMU 350 is delimited to the north by the shorelines of Lesser Slave Lake and the Lesser Slave River from Kinuso to Smith, to the west and southwest by Highway 33 from Kinuso to the Peace Pipeline west of Fort Assiniboine, and to the east and southeast by the Athabasca River from Smith to the ferry on the Athabasca River west of Vega (Figure 16). The town of Slave Lake and parts of the town of Swan Hills are found within the boundaries of the WMU. The only major lake present within the WMU is Mitsue Lake, which is surrounded by the Mitsue Lake Industrial Park.
