Alberta Remediation Practitioner Survey

Soil Sampling

The Alberta Chapter of the Canadian Land Reclamation Association is hosting a one-day pre-conference Workshop titled A Shared Foundation: Advancing Remediation Innovation Through Policy and Technology on March 3, 2026, in Edmonton.  Conference attendees wishing to participate in the Workshop can register their interest with the Organizing Committee by January 22 here - https://lnkd.in/gr-CxF6g  
 

Workshop discussion topics include:

  • Leveraging Innovation Throughout the Remediation Life Cycle;
  • Sampling and Analysis: The Remediation Backbone;
  • Opportunities for Increasing Technology-enabled Remediation; and
  • Opportunities to Improve Submission: From Problem to Solution.
     

In preparation for the Workshop, the Program Committee is conducting a short 15-question survey of Alberta remediation practitioners to identify their remediation experience and views on opportunities for innovation.  The survey is open to all practitioners, not just those planning to attend the workshop.  Results will be anonymous, shared with the Workshop participants to help set the stage for their discussions, and published in the Workshop Summary Report.
 

If you have already sent in your Expression of Interest, you will see that the first three questions in this survey are the same as the ones in the EOI.  Please answer them again as this survey is anonymous and we can’t link it to your EOI.
 

The survey closes February 20, 2026.

Alberta Environment and Protected Areas Announces Release of Environmental Records Viewer

EPA LTM viewer

Alberta Environment and Protected Areas (EPA) has a new easy to use online geospatial tool that displays information about contaminated sites regulated by EPA such as gas stations, drycleaners and wood-processing facilities.  Visit the new Environmental Records Viewer under the title Long Term Management (LTM).

The Environmental Records Viewer Long Term Management module:

  • Provides a map interface to search and locate sites in an area, and a selection tool to view detailed information about sites that meet the entered criteria.  Through this tool, users can access all publicly available documents, download or export individual or multiple records, and export site-related attributes for multiple or single sites.
  • Includes sites that have undergone environmental assessments and were reported to the EPA as unauthorized releases requiring long-term remedial measures. It also includes sites where assessments were conducted to evaluate soil and groundwater quality. Note: The presence of an environmental site assessment in the viewer does not necessarily indicate that the site is, or ever was, contaminated.
  • Replaces the Environmental Site Assessment Repository (ESAR) for EPA regulated contaminated sites. Information previously available in ESAR, such as reclamation certificates and historic AER regulated contaminated sites, will continue to be accessible through information requests submitted to epa-regulatory-records-intake@gov.ab.ca, until an alternative is implemented.
