C. ACCESS OR TESTING PROCEDURE:
Yes
No
Testing is to occur along existing lines only. If no, complete Sections E & F
- If no, all new lines to be constructed are to be shown on an attached map along with spacing and access routes.
- Right of Way widths for new cut lines are
metres.
- Length of new cut lines is
metres.
- Describe disposal of woody debris:
Activity on the land during adverse ground conditions must be suspended if the activity is likely to cause
unacceptable damage to vegetation and soil.
TESTING REQUIREMENTS:
- The holder shall provide the department with a detailed report of every log or survey taken on each hole within 60
days of completion of program.
- If the proponent wishes to pursue a surface materials lease on a specific location within the exploration area, further
testing may be required to determine the quality and confirm the quantity of materials.
- All excavated test holes are to be back filled (horizons replaced in order found if backhoe used) compacted and
capped. The topsoil/ surface soil layer is to be salvaged and replaced on the surface of the back filled excavation.
D. EVALUATION OF IMPACTS ON WATERCOURSES/WATER BODIES
Yes
No The Exploration Program includes watercourse/water body crossings. If Yes, section "G" must be
completed.
For exploration and access roads which cross a watercourse or water body, the Water Act Code of Practice for
Watercourse Crossings must be followed, except in those situations where a watercourse crossing is identified as being
exempt from requiring an approval under Schedules 1 & 2 of the Water Act Ministerial Regulation.
The applicable Code of Practice Management Area Map is to be consulted to determine the crossing “types” that would
be applicable to any activity potentially impacting water bodies. The code and maps outline where certain types of
crossings may be used and identify certain locations where new crossings are not permitted.
The code and maps are available through Queen's Printer or at website:
aep.alberta.ca/water/legislation-guidelines/codes-of-practice-pipelines-telecommunications-lines-crossing-a-water-bodywater-course-crossings.aspx
It is expected that the proposed watercourse crossings have been evaluated and positioned to minimize environmental
impact and meet the applicable Code of Practice requirements.
Each water crossing, where mechanical equipment will cross, must be identified on the map. Each location must be
given a number and the proposed crossing method identified with the appropriate symbol, as shown below (enclosed in
a circle), Examples SF
Snow SF and/ or ice fills IF
Strapped or cabled log fills LF
Ford type crossings F
Log Fill LgF
Portable free span bridge PB
Existing bridge B
Culvert C
Other (specify):
The holder shall not deposit or push debris, soil or other deleterious materials into or through any watercourse
or water body or on the ice of any watercourse/body.
The capacity of any culvert and bridges in a watercourse crossing must ensure that any increase in back
flooding does not result in flood damage to public land or property.
E. RECLAMATION
- Progressive reclamation work is to be carried out concurrently with exploration.
- Reclamation includes debris disposal, slope stabilization, re-contouring, restoration of natural drainage(s),
replacement of surface soil and revegetation.
- Woody debris, including leaning trees, must be disposed of in accordance with the Forest & Prairie Protection
Regulations, Part II, unless otherwise directed by a departmental officer.
- Seed mixture must be determined in consultation with the departmental officer. The holder shall provide, upon
request of a departmental officer, a certificate of analysis for each seed lot used in the reclamation of these lands.
- A Letter of Closure is required to Release the Holder of the Exploration Approval of any further reclamation
responsibilities
