Revised 2005 Printed in Canada Agricultural Land Resource Atlas of Alberta Agricultural Land Resource Atlas of Alberta Background Alberta and Canada jointly conducted a scan of the environmental issues facing agriculture in Alberta as a commitment under Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s Agricultural Policy Framework (APF). The purpose was to identify areas to target Environmental Farm Planning (EFP) efforts and Beneficial Management Practice (BMP) incentive funding. A scan refers to a geographic assessment of the location, extent and severity of environmental issues associated with primary agriculture production. Five components were considered in the environmental scan: surface water quality, groundwater quality, soil erosion risk, air quality and biodiversity. The vulnerability of each component to impacts from agriculture was considered with respect to the physical characteristics of the component and agricultural activities carried out. Various geographic-linked data sets were selected and used to form risk factors for each of the five components in each land location.

  • Jasper Interconnection Project Internal Project File No: J14-067
    DETAILED IMPACT ANALYSIS Jasper Interconnection Project Internal Project File No: J14-067 Prepared for ATCO Electric Ltd. Version 3.0 June 2017 CH2M HILL Canada Limited 540 12 Ave SW Calgary, AB T2R 0H4 CA (403) 407-6000 (403) 407-6001 Executive Summary Introduction and Project Description ATCO Electric Ltd. (ATCO Electric) is proposing to construct and operate the ATCO Electric Jasper Interconnection Project (the Project), which will connect Jasper National Park (JNP) with the Alberta Interconnected Electric System (AIES). The current electrical generation network for JNP is nearing the end of its operational life, and ATCO Electric is proposing to construct a new 69-kilovolt (kV) single-circuit transmission line (to be designated 6L530) spanning approximately 44.7 kilometre (km) from Jasper, Alberta to an AIES interconnection point at the JNP boundary at SW 14-49-27 W5M (see Figure ES-1). As part of the Project, ATCO Electric intends to construct the Sheridan Substation 2085S (Substation) located within the existing Palisades Thermal Generating Station (Palisades) site at NW 2-46-1 W6M. When the substation is commissioned, ATCO Electric will decommission Palisades. Regulatory Framework The following subsections provide information on the regulatory context for the Project within JNP. Canada National Parks Act In JNP, this Project is allowable under Section 38(a) of the National Parks General Regulations, whereby the Minister may enter into an agreement for the development, operation and maintenance in the Park of electrical services for use only in the Park. As part of decommissioning of Palisades, ATCO Electric will reduce the current fence line to a smaller area around the substation.
