    Abstract
    EPCOR's proposal to construct a new gas turbine unit at its Rossdale Power Plant in Edmonton's river valley was the subject of extensive public hearings and debate. A critical issue was EPCOR's proposal to demolish the architecturally significant 1932-1954 Low Pressure Power Plant designed by Maxwell Dewar, a prominent Alberta architect. This article examines Alberta Community Development's regulatory role, its use of an historic resource impact assessment to confirm the significance of the Low Pressure Power Plant building, and its evaluation, in conjunction with the Guidelines for the Rehabilitation of Designated Historic Resources, of the appropriateness of a range of options for placement of the new unit on the site.
     
    Le projet d'EPCOR visant la construction d'une nouvelle turbine à gaz à la centrale Rossdale, dans la vallée d'Edmonton, a suscité force débats et consultations publiques. L'un des aspects clés de ce dossier était qu'EPCOR proposait de démolir la centrale à faible pression 1932-1954 (1932-1954 Low Pressure Power Plant) conçue par Maxwell Dewar, éminent architecte de l'Alberta. Cet article porte sur le rôle réglementaire de l'organisme de développement communautaire Alberta Community Development, son recours à un examen de l'incidence historique pour confirmer l'importance du bâtiment menacé et son évaluation, selon les directives sur la remise en état des ressources historiques désignées (Guidelines for the Rehabilitation of Designated Historic Resources), du bien-fondé des diverses options visant l'emplacement de la nouvelle turbine.
