  Cam-A-Lot Feedlot
  Highland Feeders Limited


Cam-A-Lot Feedlot

Location - The County of Lamont, SE 7-56-186W4M

Project Description

Cam-A-Lot Inc. retained Sameng Inc. to evaluate the viability of current water sources at a proposed cattle feedlot for 10 000 heads in the County of Lamont. To this end Sameng Inc. carried out a comprehensive study to determine the availability of stream flows at the project site and to determine the adequacy of the existing dug outs to store water for worst dry periods. In order to increase sustainable water levels, Sameng Inc. designed diversion structures and channels to withdraw water from the creek while at the same time allowing for riparian flows for fisheries concerns downstream.

Services Provided by Sameng Inc. :

  • Hydrologic study of the availability of stream flow in the project site. This included determining the daily mean, monthly mean and median flows at the dugout site.
  • Data collection and information were obtained from the County of Lamont, Alberta Water Resources, Fish and Wildlife, Water Survey of Canada and Walker Consulting Group. The obtained information and hydrologic data were utilized to perform hydrologic analysis and to design the water withdrawal system.
  • Tessman analysis to determine the theoretical amount of flow that has to be released for fisheries concerns downstream.
  • Designed structures and channels to divert water into the ponds (dugouts) and at the same time allow riparian flows downstream.
  • Designed water storage ponds and withdrawal system.
  • Capacity analysis of dugouts to supply water during both normal wet and dry years.
  • Developed plan for alternative arrangement for water supply for consecutive dry years.
  • Determined the impact of water withdrawal in the downstream locations.
  • Prepared report and drawings necessary for submission to Alberta Environmental Protection (water resources).

    Highland Feeders Limited

    Location - Near the town of Two HIlls

    Project Description

    Highland Feeders Ltd. retained Sameng Inc to determine whether a sustainable long-term alternative water supply is available from Vermilion River. Current groundwater allocations were becoming restrained due to problems with existing wells and the overall growth of their operation. To accommodate this growth and allow for further expansion, Sameng Inc undertook a comprehensive study to identify possible alternative water sources, and to address concerns raised by Alberta Environment. Alberta Environment preferred that surface water be used for increases required by the feedlot instead of increased groundwater usage. Findings determined that the most viable option was for Highland Feeders Ltd. to supplement groundwater by obtaining surface water from the Vermillion River.
