Through the development of two Department of Environment programs; namely, the Regional Landfill Program and the H.S.T.F. Land Reclamation Program and the enactment of the Sand and Gravel regulations, Alberta probably leads the rest of Canada in the reclamation of abandoned garbage dumps and gravel pits, plus the proper management of new waste disposal facilities and gravel pits. Over the past 10 years, the practices in the management of waste and extraction of gravel have changed drastically, to a point where Albertans are starting to take a very progressive attitude towards the management of waste and waste disposal facilities and gravel extraction operations. These new attitudes, in turn, will decrease the pressures on our environment.
