Mr Gordon Park Local Conservation and Reclamation Inspector and Mr Don McCabe,
Inspector, Land Reclamation Division, AB Environment, were present when the meeting

Mr Marz welcomed these gentlemen to the meeting and invited Mr McCabe to address
Council Mr McCabe noted he was the new surface reclamation inspector for this area and
wished to review provincial changes within the department The reclamation criteria
established for well sites, which establishes land and vegetation capabilities and measurements
has seen an increase in reclamation site improvements and approvals The new changes are
basically economically driven with the department budget being cut 30% in the next two
I years In view of the financial cuts to this department, Mr McCabe asked Council if they felt
two inspectors were required at a well site inquiry The original intent of having both a
provincial and local inspector at a well site inquiry was to keep the municipality informed It
was agreed as long as there was an appeal process in place one inspector could probably
handle the inquiry Mr McCabe noted the new legislation in 1993 placed a five year window
of liability on the companies and an infinite period for contamination of a site In response to
questions from Council Mr McCabe noted there was no criteria established for sand and
gravel operations but a committee has been struck to put criteria together for these types of
operation Mr Jeffery noted there were six gravel locations in the municipality requiring
Reclamation Certificates and requested Mr McCabe arrange an inspection of these sites and
advise what criteria was required to obtain the Reclamation Certificates Mr McCabe noted
j' there was a great diversity of soils in the M.D and reclamation of gravel operations would
comprise of a common sense comparison of adjacent lands to meet criteria requirements
It was agreed Mr McCabe meet with Mr Lonnie McCook, Public Works Superintendent,
next week to inspect the gravel sites and determine criteria Mr McCabe thanked council for
their time and advised he would be following up with a letter to Council outlining to day s
discussion
Messrs Thomas, Parks and McCabe left the meeting time 10.25 A.M
Mr Jeffery read the second draft of the letters prepared to the villages of Carbon and Acme

Mr McCook entered the meeting time 10 30 A.M
Mr Marz noted there was insufficient information at this time to qualify the last statement of
each letter It was agreed the last paragraph of each letter should be reworded to state if the
proposed Agri Plex meets the M.D s principles and if the proposal appears to be
economically viable and, if Council feels it will have a positive effect on the environment and
community then Council will support this proposal

following roads were mentioned as possibilities, Buffalo Jump, Wimborne Gas Plant Road,
Wimborne East Road SH 805 SH 806 and Linden West Road

6 One of the boys had an accident on Highway #21 yesterday with the three ton truck
and trailer The welds let go on the plate that hold the pintel hitch to the frame
causing the truck and trailer to hit the ditch where the trailer, loaded with some bridge
decking, flipped No one was hurt and damage looks like a bent frame on the back
end of the truck and a bent hitch on the trailer The RCMP were called, there were no
charges laid and an accident report was written up Young Rick Lobe did a good job
of holding the truck upright when things let loose
