Alberta Environment and Parks has updated the Guide to Water Act Authorizations Required for Excavations
Effective January 7, 2021, the new Guide to Water Act Authorizations Required for Excavations (Dugouts, Borrow Pits and other types of Pit/ Excavations) is available and in use. The guide aligns with legislative changes made in December 2018 to the Water (Ministerial) Regulation, provides clarity on application content required for authorizations, and aligns the regulatory assurance frameworks that will be utilized in the digital regulatory assurance system. The updated guide replaces two outdated documents:
- Guide to Water Act Authorizations Required for Dugout, Borrow Pits and other types of Pits/Excavations (2015)
- Implementation Plan and FAQ for the Guide to Water Act Authorizations Required for Dugouts, Borrow Pits and other types of Pits/ Excavations (2016)
Any questions or further information can be emailed to Terrina Perley at Terrina.Perley@gov.ab.ca.
