Depicts basic components of The City of Calgary's 2007 Environmental Reserve (ER) Setback Guideline policy, including the base setback based on stream order, and the additional setback modifier based on slope. This can be used as a starting point to scope out riparian-associated ER requirements for planned future developments. It can also be used within existing built areas of the city to highlight past lost ER opportunities.

This digital data set identifies, maps, and classifies ephemeral and intermittent streams in Calgary. This data set is intended for mapping at scales between 1:5,000 and 1:50,000, for the purpose of higher-level analysis and planning, or as a starting point to locate areas of interest to focus more detailed field work and surveys. Please note that the data is not intended to replace or supercede existing requirements during the process of planning, subdivision, and development, including field investigations. For further details and definitions, please refer to the attached user guide.

Depicts recommended riparian area management category zones along the major rivers and streams of Calgary. These categories are meant to guide land use planning, park management, and river engineering decisions. The spatial mapping of these categories also complements the Riparian Decision Matrix for River Engineering Projects, with the purpose of ensuring bioengineering practices are applied to the maximum extent feasible within The City of Calgary.
