Riparian Setback Matrix Model (RSMM)

• Developer's Guide to the Riparian Setback Matrix Model

The RSMM is a scientifically-based, legally defensible model that allows municipalities to take adequate precautions to prevent the most common forms of pollution, instead of establishing arbitrary setbacks (Aquality 2015). This policy and procedure is applied under direction from the Municipal Government Act (Sections 663 and 664). To obtain the required information (vegetation, slope, groundwater risk/susceptibility, and adjacent land use data) for the RSMM, applicants will need to retain the services of a qualified professional, registered in the province of Alberta with an organization that is part of the Joint Environmental Professional Practice Board to undertake a geophysical assessment of the proposed development.
