Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;font-size:12pt"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This map is meant to inform landowners, developers and municipal planners about the geological hazard of ARD and to identify where the bedrock in southwestern Nova Scotia is potentially sulphide-bearing and may develop ARD if physically disturbed or exposed, by drilling, blasting or excavation. There are three ARD potential categories: high, moderate and low. This map is intended to be used as a tool for making land-use and environmental planning decisions by indicating where precaution is needed, or further analysis is likely required, before engaging in activities that disturb or expose bedrock. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN /></P><P><SPAN> For more information please read the following Information circular - OC ME 067 </SPAN></P><P><SPAN /></P><P><SPAN> Link to PDF maps here.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN /></P><P><SPAN> Link to GIS Data here. </SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
