Clean Air Strategic Alliance CFO Project Team reports
In response to a statement of opportunity presented by the Intensive Livestock Working Group and Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development, the CASA Board established the CFO project team in September 2005. The CASA consensus process was viewed as a beneficial way to address stakeholder concerns.
The goal of the CFO project team was to develop a strategic plan to improve the management of air emissions from existing and future CFOs in Alberta and to improve relationships between stakeholders. In developing the plan, the team was to consider the following principles:
- continuous improvement and pollution prevention to protect air quality;
- prevention of short and long-term adverse effects on human, animal and ecosystem health due to air emissions; and
- assurance that air quality recommendations maximize social, economic, environmental and health benefits and minimize social, economic, environmental and health costs.
