1 MAP ATLAS

1.1 Introduction A set of maps are presented in this large format document so

that map information can be viewed at a legible scale in a

convenient format. The atlas is companion document to the

report entitled “Tri-Council Regional Growth Plan- Background

Report”. Individual maps are keyed to the text of the

Background Report which provides the context and some

descriptions related to the map compositions.

Both the Town and MD 124 currently have deployed

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for various purposes

including municipal property assessments; permit tracking,

infrastructure management and planning. An objective of the

Tri-Council Regional Growth Plan (RGP) was to enhance these

data sets with new regional GIS data to facilitate ongoing

planning.

1.1.1 Geographic Information System and Mapping

The set of maps are for the most part generated from GIS

“shapefiles” (common data format) which relies on software

which processes and displays geospatial data. A variety of

software has been used to generate, store, manage and display

the spatial data contained in the map set including:

ESRI ArcGIS (v10.2): delivery format

Manifold (v8.2) – data base construction GIS routines

and geoprocessing.

PostgreSQL (v9.2): server-based GIS database for

efficient storage and GIS SQL server for large regional

scaled GIS data sets for multiple vendor clients.

SAGA (v2.1): geoprocessing of LIDAR imagery for this

project to produce map components including

hillshades (rendered topographic model), colorized

physiographic hillshade models and contours.

Adobe Creative Cloud (v6) including Illustrator,

Photoshop, and InDesign: used for the cartographic

image assembly and printing.

All of the products produced by the above software are fully

licensed to EIDOS Consultants Incorporated.

1.1.2 Data Sources

The Map Atlas draws on data from a number of sources:

Town of Slave Lake: data (shapefiles) supplied with

permission from their GIS consultant, Associated

Engineering Alberta Ltd, Edmonton

MD 124 Lesser Slave River: data (shapefiles) supplied

with permission from their GIS consultants Zap

Consulting, High Prairie and, Associated Engineering

Alberta Ltd, Edmonton.

Open Source Public Data: shapefiles with open source

licences for a variety of information such as

environmental data, parks and protected areas, generally

published by government agencies,

Government of Alberta (GoA) base features, LIDAR,

orthophotos, etc which have been made available to the

project under a single use licence managed by the

Municipal Affairs, Regional Recovery Coordination

Group.

Some displayed data has been generated by the Consultant

from supplied data sources including hillshade background

display (Map 1.1) contour data or our sub consultants such as

the Terrain analysis maps. All data generated by the Consultant

becomes the property of Tri-Council.

1.1.3 Metadata

GIS files and database sets are accompanied by Metadata.

Metadata provides a description about the spatial data,

contained in a shape file or geodatabase including data

sources, techniques of data creation, database conventions and

geographic projection (source and display). New spatial data

produced in the study will be accompanied by metadata, but in

some cases limited by source data that came to the project

without Metadata,

1.1.4 Common Project Display Projection

Maps are displayed in a variety of geographic projections which

warp the earth’s curvature to create a flat representation on a

map sheet. The source data has been received in a variety of

projections commonly in use in Alberta including: Geographic

(Lat/Log) 10TM- Resource (115o), 10TM- Forestry (115o), UTM

zone 11(117o), UTM zone 12 (113o), and 3TM (114o). The RGP

project has adopted 3TM (114o).display projection for the

following reasons:


Projection of choice for one of the two jurisdictions with

GIS systems.

Typical projection for an urbanized area (e.g. Calgary

Edmonton, Cold Lake).

The fifth meridian (114oW) occurs within the RGP study

area producing reasonably rectilinear (N-S and E-W)

displays of the Alberta Township Survey (ATS) grid.

The RGP Study Area generally fits the 3 degree window

of the 3TM 114o projection (i.e. generally fits between

1.5o to the east or west of 114o)

Should the data be needed in another projection, most GIS

software can be reprojected “on the fly”. In addition, most of

the source data sets have been left in their original projection

and only the display reprojected.

1.1.5 Mapping Limitations and Interpretation

The Regional Growth Plan and the related maps are intended

as a high level planning and policy guide. The maps are not

intended to be utilized as the basis of individual development

initiatives. Further detailed site investigations are require before

proceeding with individual developments. More specific

investigations are required related to:

Survey: topographic contours have been derived from

aerial LIDAR and have not been field validated. They are

intended to show terrain patterns and gradients rather

than absolute elevations. For that reason, contour labels

have not been shown.

Flood Plain Risk Mapping: of the many tributaries and

rivers within the RGP study area, only the Sawridge

Creek has a mapped flood risk study. Flooding in the

vicinity of all the other water courses or depressional

areas has an unquantified risk. Flood plain risk mapping

must precede all developments in the vicinity of

unmapped water courses in the RGP Study Area.

Geotechnical Investigations: the soil and terrain

limitations mapping was done by interpretation of

imagery and topographic contour information, with

limited ground truthing. Geotechnical site investigations

are needed to determine site and soil conditions prior

to local scale planning and site development. Ice flow

and thrust risk assessments would need to be further

assessed in areas identified with this type of risk.

2 MAPS

The following provide some explanations and descriptions of

map content to assist the reader in interpreting the displayed

information.

Map 1.1 Study Area

The RGP study area (bounded in a heavy red line) is

approximately 50km (E/W) by 40km (N/S). The RGP general

bounds have been set to include:

East: Assineau to MD124 Boundary

West: Mitue Industrial Area plus a buffer

South: southern limit of highway 2 south of Mitsue

North: Marten Beach and the Highway 88 and 750

Gateway Intersection

The RGP study area is discontinuous and irregular in shape. The

reason for this is the extraordinary amount of data associated

with the orthophotos and LIDAR needed to generate the

Terrain Analysis Maps. Non essential (not likely to be

developed) areas have been eliminated wherever possible.

The study area is displayed over a colorized physiographic map

generated from LIDAR imagery. The background displays

elevations in colour gradients from low elevations, starting at

blue to high elevations depicted in red brown (a 600 meter

difference in elevation).

Other information presented in the study area includes:

Sawridge First Nation boundaries

MD 124 Lesser Slave River boundary

Town of Slave Lake boundary

Area Structure Plan boundaries


Prior Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP 2000)

boundary

Map 2.1 Regional Context

The intent of Map 2.1 is to provide a map to support the

description of economic context in the Background Report. The

sphere of economic influence of the Tri-Council extends well

beyond the RGP Study area. This larger scale map depicts the

major administrative and economic features of a region

centered on the MD’s of Lesser Slave River, Big Lakes Northern

Sunrise and Opportunity. Key economic features are:

InSitu Oilsands Projects and Oil Sands Leases

Forest Management Agreement Areas

Major Industrial Plants

and related major infrastructure including:

Pipelines

Railways

Paved and gravel roadways.

Power lines

Map 3.1 Environmental Context

Environmental Management and sustainable development are

an important aspect of the RGP and this plan describes the

environmental context and the key environmental features

within and surrounding the RGP study area. The feature of

international significance is Lesser Slave Lake. This map is

scaled to include the entire Lesser Slave Watershed boundary.

Environmental features displayed include:

Parks and Protected Areas

Environmentally Significant Areas

Natural Sub Regions of Alberta

Critical Habitat Areas

Watershed Boundaries.

A description of the features directly affecting the RGP study

area is summarized in Section 3 of the Background Report.

Map 3.2 OrthoPhoto

A series of orthophoto tiles have been assembled to provide a

pictorial representation of the land cover for the RGP study

area. The orthophotos have been enhanced by digitally adding

a hillshade representation to accentuate relief. The orthophoto

series captures the burn scars following the May 2011 wildfires.

3.4 Canyon Creek

3.5 Wagner

3.6 Slave Lake North

3.7 Slave Lake South

3.8 Lesser Slave River

3.9 Mitsue

3.10 Marten River

This series of maps provides an assessment of terrain

conditions which can be interpreted for both development and

conservation values. The mapping assembles a number of

features including:

Orthophoto background

Contours (1m Interval)

Environmental features from Map 3.1

Man made development constraints (setbacks for

railways, wastewater treatment facilities, landfills,

pipelines and well heads)

Terrain analysis (undertaken by Pedocan Land

Evaluation).

The soil and terrain mapping was done by interpretation of

imagery and topographic contour information, with limited

ground truthing. Geotechnical and more detailed site

investigations are needed to determine more specific site and

soil conditions prior to local scale planning and site

development.

An extended legend for the 15 types of terrain units

encountered are presented in Table 2—a.

Potential aggregate sources.

La Lacustrine plain (arable) Lacustrine clay blanket on the Assineau River Fan. Incised stream channels. Agricultural land use capability, gentle slopes.

Floodway and Flood Fringe are not mapped to our knowledge. Well-drained soils have agricultural land use capability and part of the fan is currently farmed. The toe of the fan is probably within the flood fringe of Lesser Slave Lake. The La land is suitable for housing – at cost of loss of agricultural land.

Low biodiversity on broken/farmed land.

Ls Lacustrine plain (sandy) Sandy soils. Possible high water table. Diversity of plant species and potential for rare species.

Mb Moraine benchland Moraine upland with benched (terraced) slopes.

Topography provides opportunity for scenic views. Soils on level areas may have wetness limitations due to seepage and ponded water.


Mm Moraine with moderate slopes

Moderate slopes (usually less than 10%), inclusions of wet soils in concave positions.

Sloping or rolling topography. Mostly well drained soils but will have some wet areas. Few limitations to development subject to geotechnical investigation.


Ms Moraine with steep slopes

Moraine, steep slopes (10 to 30%), includes dissected and hummocky and simple slopes; wet seepage soils in lower slope positions.

Slopes of 10 to 15% or greater, may be simple slopes or hummocky or ridged /dissected. Often complex drainage with enclosed depressions. Large footprint developments (industrial yards or small lot residential) will require extensive grading and water diversion. Low density / large lot country residential can often be “fit to the landscape” to limit grading and water diversions (see Canyon Creek South as an example of how this was done). The topography can be used for natural property boundaries to separate and screen the properties and provide view opportunities. Relief and diversity of the landform pattern provides scenic values. Need Geotechnical investigations

Wp Wet soils with mostly thick peat Organics

Wet soils with mostly thick peat Organics; includes bogs and fens and peaty Gleysols; water table at or near surface.

Wet soils with seepage, ponding and high water table. Wet soils limit development by increasing development costs and require appropriate design and construction. Drainage and water diversions are usually possible. Off-site effects of drainage and diversion must be considered and mitigated and require Water Act Approvals. Alberta Wetland Policy regarding protection of wetland may apply. Building sites and roads usually require removal of “off-spec material” and placement of imported clay fill. This appears to be common practice at Slave Lake. Need geotechnical investigations Wp soils have a peat layer of variable thickness in addition to the wetness limitations.

Peaty soils have value for hydrology and potential for rare species.
