Directive for Monitoring the Impact of Sulphur Dust on Soils
The Directive for Monitoring the Impact of Sulphur Dust on Soils, hereafter referred to as the Directive, specifies the regulatory requirements by Alberta Environment and Water (AEW) for soil monitoring and mitigation activities that may be required when sulphur manufacturing, processing or storage facilities in Alberta have the potential to release sulphur dust to soils.

Best Management Practices
For Conservation of Reclamation Materials in the Mineable Oil Sands Region of Alberta
The document was developed with the intention of providing leading practices that will help operators optimize the use of available reclamation materials on a site-specific basis. EPEA approvals state that operators should consider any guidelines prepared or provided by the Director related to the development of soil salvage and placement strategies. In this context, the BMPs will inform the development of the annual Soil Salvage and Placement Plans, the Mine Reclamation Plan and the Life of Mine Closure Plan – the BMPs are not intended to be used as evaluation criteria for appraising any particular operator.

Bow River BioSonics Pilot Survey with Water Quality Ground-truth Monitoring
A ground-truthing water quality monitoring study was undertaken in parallel with the BioSonics survey to validate the BioSonics remotely sensed outputs. A number of water quality parameters were included in this ground-truth monitoring, such as flow/velocities, sediment characteristics, vegetation biomass, and nutrients from water, sediment, and vegetation, etc.,

The Edmonton-Calgary Corridor (ECC) Groundwater Atlas
The atlas will help Albertans better understand the province's groundwater resources by highlighting where they are and by describing the groundwater-mapping processes used to map these resources, starting with a description of the physical and chemical properties of groundwater, and then providing details of the results of the mapping work.
