The expansion of an existing emergency spillway to divert overland floodwaters and stormwater runoff from the St. Mary River Irrigation District's main canal to the Oldman River. The project is located mainly on private lands near Taber, Alberta. The expansion would increase the diversion capacity of the existing spillway from approximately 7.6 m3/s to 47 m3/s.

Once operational, the long-term economic impact of these infrastructure upgrades will make rural communities more resilient to flooding and providing protection for critical water infrastructure, while at the same time providing the necessary groundwork to attract further investment in the agri-food processing industry for a brighter future for all southern Albertans.
