Spatial Data Warehouse
Governance Alberta Government AAMDC AUMA Major
Utility Cos.
A non-profit mapping private/public partnership
formed in 1996. Role is to preserve and enhance
Albertas base mapping information infrastructure
after taking over operations from the Alberta
Government.
Operating partner for SDW responsible for all
aspects of reengineering, development and daily
operations - updating, storage, delivery,
licensing business development.

Dispositions What Are They?

• Authority to use public land is granted through
  dispositions issued under the provisions of the
  Public Lands Act. A disposition is a land use
  contract that gives specific rights to a land or
  resource user (e.g., lease, license, or permit).

6
Over 55 of the Province is Crown Land
But there are dispositions in almost every
township in the Province
7
Dispositions

• There are approximately 210,000 active
  dispositions over 80 are related to Oil Gas
  activities. (Current count 231,000)
• There are approx. 17,000 new dispositions / year.
• Information is maintained in a mainframe database
  (LSAS).
• There is no consolidated digital map or spatial
  representation there is only a hardcopy map on
  which dispositions are manually drafted.

Background

• In 2003, SRD and SDW conducted a pilot to
  determine the effort required to create a
  Disposition Mapping database for historical and
  new dispositions.
• A funding model and process, similar to the
  successful LTO cadastral mapping process, was
  determined to be the most viable.

11
Conclusion

• Digital submissions (survey plan / sketch)
  together with a filing fee would support the
  Disposition Mapping process.

12
Disposition Mapping DIDS Project - Whats it
About?
Objectives

• To build and maintain a graphical database of the
  spatial information pertaining to Dispositions.
• To assist the GOA (PLD LFD) in the
  administration and management of Dispositions.
• To create a product that the client community
  (Municipalities, Oil Gas, Forestry,
  Agriculture, Wildlife and Fisheries,
  Recreational) and the public can access and use.

13
Purpose of Digital Submissions

• Accurate Locations.
• Support timely application processing near real
  time mapping.
• Eliminate issuance of overlapping dispositions.
• Currently 98 of all public land dispositions
  are surveyed by an ALS, Technical Services Unit,
  ASRD. ALS are familiar and competent in
  preparing Digital Plans (for application and
  registration purposes).

14
HISTORICAL DISPOSITIONS

• Would be completed in approx. 4 years
• GIS and CAD database
• Initial schedule is to start in the most active
  townships.

15
Phase 1
16
PROPOSED DISPOSITION MAPPING PRODUCT (GIS
Dataset)
Disposition Data would be managed in a GIS
Environment Graphics and Databases are Linked
for Immediate Queries and Data Retrieval
17
Maintenance of New Dispositions

• ASRD has strengthened application and submission
  requirements
• One disposition one plan
• Content Requirements for Disposition Application
  Plans (sketch)
• Content Requirements for Disposition Final Plans
  (monumented surveys).
• Digital Plan submissions will be mandatory

18
Other Benefits

• Public Lands Improved approval process better
  decision making reduced approval times for
  Disposition applications minimize granting
  conflicting authorizations.
• Access Roads greatly assists in the
  identification (and sharing) of access roads and
  the ownership thereof.
• Emergency Response Planning typically, all oil
  and gas facilities must be shown on ERP plans
  consolidated disposition mapping would greatly
  assist in the identification of such facilities.
• Alberta One-Call will provide a much more
  complete record of possible buried facilities.
  Provides better safety to the public.

19
Other Benefits (contd)

• Municipalities will assist Alberta Municipal
  Affairs and Municipalities in identifying all
  linear properties (facilities) to be assessed on
  Public Lands, including
• oil and gas wells and pipelines,
• electric power systems (generating, transmission
  and distribution),
• telecommunication systems (including cellular
  telephone systems), and
• cable television systems.
• Environmental Public Lands erases the location
  of dispositions (LOC, MSL, etc.) when they are
  abandoned, which means there is no spatial
  record, or map, showing these locations. This
  information is / will be extremely important in
  the future as sites are redeveloped.

More Recent Developments

• 2005 Budget - GOA received approval to implement
  a filing fee.
• Alberta Land Surveyors were informed in April
  2005 that digital submissions and a filing fee
  will be implemented effective August 1, 2005.
• A sub-committee of the ALSA has been meeting with
  SRD to review technical details.

21
More Recent Developments

• Meeting with ALSA June 8, 2005
• Surveyors informed (agreement)
• DIDS implementation August 1
• CAD file, Metadata file, pdf files required.
• CAD file must be geo referenced
• Must be submitted via secure FTP site
• Grandfather period to Jan. 1, 2006 for surveys
  dated prior to August 1, 2005
