SUBJECT: Technical Review of the Environmental Impact Statement for the Springbank Off-Stream Reservoir Project – Information Request Package 3
P. 80
The EIS identified five potential locations for flood mitigation measures on the Elbow River.
Public comments received during technical review of the EIS indicate interest in specific alternative means of reducing effects of future extreme floods on infrastructure, water courses and people, such as the Tri-River Joint reservoir of Alberta and the Micro-Watershed Impounding Concept,(for example, CEAR 1152 and CEAR #1037).
Information Requests:
c) Evaluate whether the Tri-River Joint Reservoir of Alberta and the Micro-Watershed Impounding Concept are feasible alternative means of meeting the Project’s purpose.
Consider potential environmental effects of each alternative in this evaluation.
