Parkland Airshed Management Zone
PAMZ to Unveil Air Quality Management PlanRed Deer 2008/10/16
In November 2006 Alberta Environment released the results of an air quality assessment indicating the need to develop an ozone management plan for the Parkland Airshed.
Since that time the Parkland Airshed Management Zone Association (PAMZ) has been working on an air quality management plan to reduce emissions that contribute to the formation of ground-level ozone. The plan is aimed at ensuring levels of ground-level ozone in the region remain better than national standards established by the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment.
On November 18 and 20, 2008 PAMZ will be hosting stakeholder meetings in Red Deer and Olds respectively to review the draft air quality management plan with regional stakeholders. The meeting is open to everyone and zone residents, industries, and organizations are strongly encouraged to attend and learn how they may be affected by the plan and to provide feedback. The PAMZ airshed has set a goal of completing the first version of the management plan by the end of December 2008.
The meeting details are:
- Tuesday November 18, 2008 1:00 - 4:30 PM
Royal Canadian Legion, 5241-46 Street, Olds - Thursday November 20, 2008 1:00 - 4:30 PM
Royal Canadian Legion, 2810 Bremner Avenue, Red Deer
