Letter of Concern sent to Environment and Parks regarding Carraig Ridge application for groundwater diversion

In Alberta, water is owned by the Crown and its use is regulated by Alberta Environment and Parks under the Water Act.

The general procedure to obtain the authorization under the Water Act to divert water is described in the Guidelines for Licensing Water Diversion Projects https://www.alberta.ca/water-legislation-and-guidelines.aspx

A Guide to Groundwater Authorization is available here to clarify the process applicants must follow when applying to divert groundwater.

The Upper Bow River Hazard Study assesses and identifies river-related hazards along 118 km of the Bow River, as well as 7 km of Policeman Creek, 1 km of Exshaw Creek, 5 km of Bighill Creek, and 5 km of Jumpingpound Creek. The study area extends from Banff National Park to Bearspaw Dam, including through Canmore, Cochrane, Exshaw, Kananaskis Improvement District, Lac des Arcs, Municipal District of Bighorn, Rocky View County, and Stoney Nakoda First Nation.
