The City of Airdrie monitors construction sites regularly to limit short and long term effects on our existing infrastructures as well as our local ecosystem. The City of Airdrie follows the City of Calgary Guidelines for Erosion & Sediment Control.

Erosion & Sediment Control
Developers and consultants conducting work within the City of Airdrie are required to submit erosion control plans. The plan must outline what methods and steps the developer will take to ensure deleterious material from the construction site is prevented from entering storm systems.
