A Summary of Pesticide Residue Data from the Alberta Treated Water Survey, 1995-2003

Alberta Environment collects routine pesticide samples at treated water facilities throughout Alberta. The data obtained from 1995 to early 2003 was compiled and analyzed to determine pesticide detection frequencies and trends, spatial variation in detections, comparisons to drinking water guidelines, source influence, and seasonality. All samples were in compliance with drinking water guidelines. The information contained in the report will be of use in further development of water strategy initiatives relating to watershed protection and aquatic ecosystem protection. Land activities (such as pesticide application) can have significant impacts upon water systems (surface and groundwater), and the information in this report highlights the potential effects of these land-based activities on water treatment systems within the watershed.

Action Leakage Rate Guideline May 1996

This guideline has been developed by Alberta Environmental Protection because of the reality that all liners will leak to some extent and because of the resultant history of groundwater contamination at some sites. This guideline focuses on double lined ponds with a primary liner consisting of a geomembrane liner, a secondary liner (normally consisting of a geomembrane liner or a clay liner), and a leak detection/collection system in between the two liners, by ensuring that the liner leakage is minimal and that it is controlled.
