Minimal Disturbance Pipeline Construction Procedures in Peatland Areas
Resource
TransCanada presents an account of pipeline construction methods implemented in the boreal regions of Alberta.
Monitoring Procedures for Wellsite, In-Situ Oil Sands and Coal Mine Reclamation in Alberta – December 2014 Update
Resource
Scope of the project is to develop a geomatics-based monitoring system to support the Government of Alberta’s efforts for monitoring reclamation success. Software will support decision making process
Pipeline Reclamation Techniques
Resource
Successful reclamation of a pipeline right-of-way is contingent upon the proper material handling procedure, especially for topsoil conservation. NOVA's practice of topsoil conservation is discussed...
Preliminary Caribou Habitat Restoration Plan for the Leismer to Kettle River Crossover Project
Resource
On September 20, 2012, NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd. (NGTL) received approval for the Leismer to Kettle River Crossover Project. Approximately 63 km of this pipeline will be constructed within the...
Preparing Variance Justifications for Reclamation Certification of Wellsites and Associated Facilities on Forested Land: 2023 Update
Resource
In 2021, PTAC sought verification of the Guide to Preparing Variance Justifications and stakeholders were asked to apply the document to current sites in their work portfolio.
Quantifying Restoration Success via Natural Recovery in Forested Areas Following Pipeline Construction
Resource
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
Rangeland Revegetation Monitoring on Two Pipeline Rights-of-Way in Southern Alberta
Resource
Compare vegetative productivity, plant species composition and animal utilization on pipeline right-of-way to that of the adjacent native grassland. Field assessments were conducted over 4 years
Recreational Trail Impacts on the Plant Communities of Castle and Castle Wildland Provincial Parks in Southern Alberta
Resource
I measured the effect of recreational trails on plant species richness, community composition, and the presence of exotic and rare species in the Castle Provincial Parks of Alberta, Canada, by...
Revegetation of Post-mined Land Using Directly Planted Native and Local Shrub Species
Resource
Hand collecting vegetative propagules from surrounding pre-mined land and directly planting these propagules on post-mined land may be the only method to successfully establish key shrub species
Seismic Line Impacts on Proximal Boreal Forest and Wetland Environments in Alberta
Resource
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
Shortening Fire Return Interval Predisposes West-Central Canadian Boreal Peatlands to More Rapid Vegetation Growth and Transition to Forest Cover
Resource
Climate change in northern latitudes is increasing the vulnerability of peatlands and the riparian transition zones between peatlands and upland forests (referred to as ecotones) to greater frequency...
Shrub Changes with Proximity to Anthropogenic Disturbance in Boreal Wetlands Determined Using Bi-temporal Airborne LiDAR in the Oil Sands Region, Alberta Canada
Resource
Bi-temporal LiDAR data used to identify correspondence between density of anthropogenic disturbances, wetland shape complexity and changes in vegetation height within >1800 wetlands near Fort McKay
Soil Compaction: A Literature Review
Resource
Concerns about soil compaction on pipeline rights-of-way have increased with the introduction of heavier, more powerful construction equipment
Surface Soil Handling on Mines in the Boreal Forest – from Textbook to Operations
Resource
Research has shown forest surface soil provides an economical, diverse and abundant source of native propagules and an important source of nutrients and soil fauna. Salvage depth affects soil quality
The Biophysical Climate Mitigation Potential of Boreal Peatlands During the Growing Season
Resource
Peatlands and forests cover large areas of the boreal biome and are critical for global climate regulation. They also regulate regional climate through heat and water vapour exchange with the...
The Long-term Impact of Pipeline Construction on Solonetzic Mixed Prairie
Resource
Study concentrated on the well-documented 1981 right-of-way, and compared it to the oldest trench, installed in 1957, and to the undisturbed adjacent mixed prairie
The "Winter" Topsoil Stripper
Resource
NOVA, AN ALBERTA CORPORATION embarked on a research and development project approximately one and one-half years ago to develop a machine capable of stripping frozen topsoil . The result was a...
Topsoil Handling During Pipeline Construction in Potentially Arable Forested Luvisols of Northwest Alberta
Resource
Objective was to evaluate several pipeline topsoil stripping depths to determine whether they result in land capability equivalent to that of adjacent forested lands broken for cultivation
