## 12.0 NATURAL HAZARD LANDS OVERLAY
The Intent of this Overlay Area is to restrict development in areas that are considered hazardous for development for reasons of ground instability or erosion and areas that are considered hazardous for development in order to minimize property damage due to flooding. The following regulations are intended to appiy supplementary standards for development in natural hazard areas.
No person shall within a Natural Hazard Lands Overlay District use any land, or erect, alter or use any building or structure, except in accordance with the following.
## 12.1 | UNSTABLE SLOPES SITE DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
1. No new development shall be permitted in any readily eroded or unstable slope area if the proposed development will be affected by or increase the potential hazard presented by erosion or slope instability.
2. For the purpose of this Bylaw, the area considered to present potential erosion and/or slope instability hazard includes but is not limited to the slopes of Arm Lake and Buffalo Pound Lake and their tributary creeks and gullies extending from the edge of the flood plain in the valley, to the ridge of the slope at the top, plus a setback of 40 metres (131.24 feet) and/or based on examples of unstable slope conditions or associated geotechnical reports.
3. Any application for a development permit on any parcel of land that lies wholly or partially within an area designated in the "natural hazard lands overlay" area must be accompanied by a detailed site analysis prepared by a geotechnical engineer registered in the province of Saskatchewan. The site analysis shall indicate topography, surface drainage. geological, and geotechnical conditions at the site of the proposed development and related to the conditions of the general area as they relate to slope instability and erosion hazards.
4. The engineering report will identify hazard mitigation measures including engineered works and other measures deemed to be effective in eliminating or managing anticipated erosion and slope stability impacts, and will identify and explain known and suspected residual hazards. The responsibility for monitoring and responding to monitored findings shall be resolved before approval is granted.
5. A development permit shall not be issued unless the report on the site, presented by the professional consultant, indicates that the site is suitable for development or outlines suitable mitigating measures and documents residual hazard. If such an evaluation is not done, or having been done, council determines that excessive remedial or servicing measures are necessary to safely and efficiently accommodate the proposed development, council shall not be required to approve the application for development.
## 12.2 | FLOOD HAZARD AREAS SITE DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
1. A development permit shall not be issued for any land use, erection. alteration or use of any building or structure within a flood hazard area unless the site/development meets approved flood proofing measures to or built above the 1:500 estimated peak water level. plus an additional ½ metre freeboard elevation.
2. No person shall backfill, grade, deposit earth or other material, excavate, or store goods or materials on these lands.
3. No new development shall be permitted in any readily eroded or unstable slope area if the proposed development will be affected by or increase the potential hazard presented by erosion or slope instability.
4. For all proposed development in this cautionary area, the developer shall be responsible to obtain and determine the 1:500 year estimated peak water level to determine the safe building elevations. The Saskatchewan Water Security Agency will assist and provide when possible or the developer shall be responsible for the cost.
5. Notwithstanding any other portion of this Bylaw, the development of new buildings and/or additions to building in the flood way of the 1:500 flood year eleyation of any watercourse or water body is prohibited. In addition, development in the 1:500 year flood iringe is not allowed unless flood proofed up to an elevation of 0.5 metres above the 1:500 year flood elevation to be determined by a qualified hydraulic engineer or as established by the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency.
6. Any existing buildings in the flood fringe may be replaced or expanded subject to appropriate flood proofing measures being provided.
7. For the purpose of this Bylaw, appropriate flood proofing measures shall mean:
- a. That all buildings shall be designed to prevent structural damage by flood waters;
- b. The first floor of all buildings shall be constructed above the designated flood design elevation; and
- c. All electrical and mechanical equipment within a building shall be located above the designated flood design elevation.
## 13.0 MINERAL RESOURCE EXTRACTION OVERLAY DISTRICT (MRE)
The intent of this overlay district is to protect mineral extraction land from unsuitable development which would result in greater land use conflict. The Rural Municipality recognizes the importance of protecting mineral extraction uses from encroachment for the benefit of all residents and landowners. There are certain other areas in or near potash mines or possible oil and gas uses which should not be developed due to the risk to people and property. This Overlay District is intended to be applied when a specific development occurs and will be used in conjunction witr the Agricultural Resource District.
In the Mineral Resource Extraction Overlay District (MRE), no person shall use any land. building or structure or erect any building or structure except in accordance with the following provisions:
## 13.1 | PERMITTED USES
In addition to the uses allowed in the Zoning District, which underlies the MRE Overlay District, the following are permitted uses:
1. Principal uses, including accessory uses and buildings, but not including a residence:
2. Cemeteries, institutional uses and facilities;
3. Public parks and public recreational facilities:
4. Historical and archaeological sites:
5. Wildlife and conservation management areas.
## 13.2 | DISCRETIONARY USES
The following uses shall be considered by Council subject to the completion of the discretionary use process as outlined in Section 3 and with regard to the discretionary use criteria provided in Section 5 of this Bylaw:
1. Communication towers:
2. Public utilities, buildings, and structures, warehouses and storage yards excluding solid and liquid disposal waste facilities.
No person shall initiate any permitted, discretionary or accessory use prior to obtaining a Development Permit from the Development Officer.
## 13.3 | DISTRICT REGULATIONS
All the Regulations of the District, which underlies the MRE District, shall be used by Council as a guideline in establishing conditions. which may be applied to location-sensitive Development Permits for the specific use being requested.
## 13.4 | AREAS WITHIN THE MRE OVERLAY DISTRICT
All land shown in the Mineral Resource Extraction (MRE) Overlay District on the Zoning Map. consisting of:
1. surface land owned or leased by a potash company upon which the actual mining facility is situated (the "Extraction Core Area") and any surface land contiguous to the Core Area
that is owned or leased by the potash company (this excludes any cluster site which is used as a pumping station for potash liquefaction or extraction.
2. surface land owned or leased by an oil or gas company.
3. land which is approved by Saskatchewan Industry and Resources for oil or gas extraction ourposes.
## 13.5 | METHOD OF APPLICATION
1. Council shall use the General Regulation Section of this Bylaw in dealing with requests for new development in this Overlay District. The Development Officer shall circulate any new development proposal in the Overlay District to neighbouring landowners and other parties (e.g. Provincial or National Departments/Agencies) for comment. Such parties may choose to comment at their discretion, before the Development Officer or Council, as the case may be, makes a decision on the proposal. Such parties are not required to comment.
## 13.6 | POTASH, FERTILIZER AND ETHANOL PLANT DEVELOPMENT
1. Potash mining operations including, but not limited to, mine offices, maintenance and processing building, headframes. wells, pipelines and storage facilities will be accommodated as a Permitted use. Fertilizer plants or the development of an ethanol plant, whether in association with potash mining or fertilizer operations or as an independent operation, will be accommodated as a permitted use.
2. Other related processing and service related development (tailing ponds, tailings piles, etc.) will be considered as accessory uses to mining operations and also accommodated as permitted use, if such uses are already regulated by Provincial or National Departments or Agencies. Other related processing and service related development which is not regulated by those Departments or Agencies shall be accommodated as discretionary uses.
3. The regulations contained in Section 13.8 shall be used to ensure adequate separation distances between potash, fertilizer and ethanol operations and other uses. Council shall determine which uses may conflict with this industry.
## 13.7 | OIL AND GAS DEVELOPMENT
1. The regulations provided in Section 13.8 for Oil and Gas Development shall apply to the Mineral Extraction Overlay District.
2. The regulations contained in Section 13.8 shall be used to ensure adequate separation distances from other uses which may conflict with this industry or land which should not be developed due to problems with air quality or proximity to pipelines, oil batteries etc.
## 13.8 | SEPARATION DISTANCES BETWEEN POTASH OR OIL AND GAS DEVELOPMENT AND OTHER USES
1. To minimize conflict between mineral extraction, ethanol. potash or oil and gas operations and surrounding land uses, the following separation distances shall be adhered to. However, the separation distances may be altered by Council as a condition of a permitted or discretionary use permit where authorized by the Zoning Bylaw.
2. The Municipality may grant a reduction of the separation distance criteria where it can be proven that a proposal will not negatively impact adjacent land uses. Prior to granting a reduction, the Municipality will consult with all agencies deemed appropriate and will require registered written agreement from all land owners directly affected by the reduction.
- a. Council may approve a separation distance that is up to 10% less than the relevant separation distance shown, where the applicant submits a copy of a signed agreement between the owner of the potash or oil and gas operation, the owners of adjacent developments, and the Hamlet or Urban Municipality, agreeing to the reduced separation distance.
- b. Such agreements must contain a provision that the parties to the agreement will then be registered as an Interest agreement to the titles of all affected land owned by, or within the jurisdiction of, both parties at Land Registry of Information Services Corporation (ISC).
- c. Where the minimum separation would not be sufficient, but the potential land use conflict would be reduced to acceptable levels, or eliminated with a greater separation distance, Council may require a greater separation than shown. This would only apply where an unacceptable land use conflict would result between existing or future operations and developments as shown on the Future Land Use Map in the OCP.
