In order to better plan for future floods, Alberta Environment and Parks (AEP) did a flood study on Sawridge Creek. It is still in draft form with a call out for public feedback.

There are 21 flood studies being finalized across Alberta, says the Alberta government’s website. Four started in 2020, including one focused on Marten Beach.

The Marten Beach study notice says, it started in Oct. 2020 and is expected to finish in spring 2022. It looks at two km of Marten Creek including where it flows through Marten Beach.
 

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.
