Regarding the Slave Lake study, one of the documents that the AEP seeks feedback on is a draft of ‘Slave Lake Flood Hazard Study: Study Summary Report’ written by Golder Associates.
“The study is conducted under the provincial Flood Hazard Identification Program (FHIP),” says the draft summary, “the goals of which include enhancement of public safety and reduction of future flood damages through the identification of flood hazards.”
“Flood studies are based on river conditions, floodplain topography, and flood mitigation infrastructure present at the time a study is conducted,” says the Alberta government’s information sheet on the Slave Lake flood study.
The last government study of this creek was done in 1993, says the draft summary. Once the study is finalized, it will replace the old one. |
