Effective April 1, 2013, the caribou range map provided in "A Woodland Caribou Policy forAlberta" (June 2011) will be adopted as the land-use referral map for all land-use applications.
Approvals made under the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act (EPEA) using the old Caribou Zone map will continue to use that Caribou Zone map for the associated land-use dispositions until such time as the EPEA approval is renewed following expiry, or an amendment is requested by the operator or required by the Director.

Projects that have received an EPEA approval using the updatedCaribouRangemap will continue to use the old Caribou Zone map for land-use applications until March 31, 2013.
Beginning April 1, 2013 projects that have received an EPEA approval using the updatedCaribouRangemap, and all other land use applications, will use the updatedCaribouRangemap for required disposition applications.
Clients are urged to plan activities for the 2013 season, post April 1, 2013, with a full understanding of the new land-use referral map. The 2013 Caribou Protection Plans requirements will be based on these new boundaries.
