Ice Jam Watch www.exploreinc.ca 1-866-936-1805 April 23, 2020 Attention Pipeline Integrity Division; This is an internal notification to update you of current high flow conditions issued by Alberta Environment and Parks. High flow can lead to waterway bank disruption, erosion, sloughing or scour. When this occurs over or around a pipeline water crossing the chance of a depth of cover failure or pipeline exposure increases. Pipeline leakages can lead to high cost property damage and high impact environmental damage. If you require any depth of cover services or research into pipelines with potential problems, please let us know. Contact Derek Leiman (780-293-1810) or Katie Welter (306- 834-4402). Below are the current notifications in effect. Flood Watch: Paddle and Little Paddle Rivers – April 19 Rapid snow melt on Friday resulted in a very rapid rise in water levels up to 3 m. Areas upstream are still 50-80% snow covered, with estimated snow depth of 20 cm. As this melt in the next few days, it will increase water flows. The overtopping of the Paddle River Dyke was observed at Twp. Rd 584 on April 18th. With additional snowmelt expected in the next few days, the number of locations being overtopped is expected to increase. Agriculture flooding is expected. The Paddle River Reservoir will continue to fill while keeping outflows below 1 m3/s. Medicine River and Lasthill Creek – April 21 Snowmelt has increased water levels in the Medicine River and Lasthill Creek. Additional water level rises are expected, as warm air temperatures are in the forecasted. Flooding near Benalta Road and near Evart's Bridge is expected. Ice Jam Watch: Peace River from Sunny Valley to Fort Vermilion – April 21 The Peace River Ice front was located at km 472 on April 20th (76 km downstream of the Town of Peace River, and 19 km upstream of Sunny Valley). The ice cover remains intact, although water levels are rising. An ice run from the Smoky River is expected to be jammed upstream. Flows are expected to increase over the next few days as more snowmelt occurs in the Smoky basin. Little Red Deer River – Apr 19 An ice jam was reported at the Red Lodge Provincial Park campground, causing flooding of loop roads and campsites. Ice related flooding was reported at Hwy 766 and Twp. Rd 340. Sudden changes in water levels may occur as ice jams shift. As ice jams release, new ones may form in other locations downstream. Behind every explore experience, is trust.

Properties and road infrastructure were reported to be affected. Additional water level rises are possible as the snowmelt finished in the area. River Ice Advisory: Smoky River – Apr 19 As high flows and ice runs push out of the Smoky River and into the Peace River, water levels at the Town of Peace River are increasing rapidly. The downstream ice runs from the Smoky River may destabilize the ice over on the Peace river, causing ice jams and greatly accelerating the breakup of the Peace River. Athabasca River from the Town of Athabasca to Fort McMurray – April 21 Tributaries of the Athabasca River are currently breaking up and are expected to initiate the breakup of the Athabasca River. Water levels may fluctuate rapidly. As ice jams release, new ones may form in other locations downstream. Ice breakup at the Town of Athabasca is expected within the next few days, but no large-scale shifting of the ice cover has yet occurred. Athabasca and McLeod Rivers in Woodlands County and Whitecourt - April 21 With well above-average snowpack and warmer temperatures, ice covers have begun to break up on both rivers. Water levels are expected to rise as the snowmelt continues to occur. Spring Runoff Advisory: Central and North Central Plains Region – April 17 The melt may cause localized ponding of meltwater in low-lying areas where water does not have direct route to stream channels.

  • Water Storage Opportunities in the South Saskatchewan River Basin in Alberta
    Water Storage Opportunities in the South Saskatchewan River Basin in Alberta Submitted to: Submitted by: SSRB Water Storage Opportunities AMEC Environment & Infrastructure, Steering Committee a Division of AMEC Americas Limited Lethbridge, Alberta Lethbridge, Alberta 2014 amec.com WATER STORAGE OPPORTUNITIES IN THE SOUTH SASKATCHEWAN RIVER BASIN IN ALBERTA Submitted to: SSRB Water Storage Opportunities Steering Committee Lethbridge, Alberta Submitted by: AMEC Environment & Infrastructure Lethbridge, Alberta July 2014 CW2154 SSRB Water Storage Opportunities Steering Committee Water Storage Opportunities in the South Saskatchewan River Basin Lethbridge, Alberta July 2014 Executive Summary Water supply in the South Saskatchewan River Basin (SSRB) in Alberta is naturally subject to highly variable flows. Capture and controlled release of surface water runoff is critical in the management of the available water supply. In addition to supply constraints, expanding population, accelerating economic growth and climate change impacts add additional challenges to managing our limited water supply. The South Saskatchewan River Basin in Alberta Water Supply Study (AMEC, 2009) identified re-management of existing reservoirs and the development of additional water storage sites as potential solutions to reduce the risk of water shortages for junior license holders and the aquatic environment. Modelling done as part of that study indicated that surplus water may be available and storage development may reduce deficits. This study is a follow up on the major conclusions of the South Saskatchewan River Basin in Alberta Water Supply Study (AMEC, 2009). It addresses the provincial Water for Life goal of “reliable, quality water supplies for a sustainable economy” while respecting interprovincial and international apportionment agreements and other legislative requirements.

    Room for the River in the Red Deer River Basin Advice to the Government of Alberta With Addendum July 23, 2015 Submitted by: Submitted to: P. Kim Sturgess, P.Eng., FCAE Cathy Maniego and Andrew Wilson CEO Resilience and Mitigation Branch WaterSMART Solutions Ltd. Environment and Sustainable Resource Development #200, 3512 - 33 Street NW 205 JG O'Donoghue Building Calgary, Alberta T2L 2A6 7000 - 113 Street Edmonton, Alberta T6H 5T6 Please note: The Room for the River process applied in the Red Deer River Basin and the subsequent Room for the River report are not government policy. The advice in this report will be taken under consideration by the Government of Alberta to help inform sound water management and policy decisions. This was not a public consultation process. The project was carried out with a technical working group, the Red Deer River Watershed Alliance, and the Red Deer River Municipal Users Group to provide advice to the Government of Alberta. It is a step toward developing a comprehensive inventory of flood mitigation projects and all options were put forward for consideration. Options presented in this report reflect concepts suggested by contributors; their inclusion in this report should not be viewed as an endorsement. i Executive Summary In the nearly two years since the 2013 floods in Alberta, many mitigation options for the province’s flood-prone areas have been identified, studied, and implemented by the Government of Alberta (GoA), municipalities, non-government organizations, and others. In the fall of 2014 the GoA announced that it wanted to look more closely at the approach taken by the Netherlands to manage flooding in the Rhine River branches – the Room for the River program.
