Heidelberg Materials receives Jumpingpound/Nose Creeks transfer
Authorization DAUT0024163 records a permanent allocation transfer to Heidelberg Materials Canada Limited approved 3 September 2025, carrying a 1954 priority of about 407,000 m³ per year.
On 3 September 2025 Alberta Environment and Protected Areas issued authorization DAUT0024163 to Heidelberg Materials Canada Limited for a permanent allocation in the Jumpingpound/Nose Creeks area. Volume on the authorization is 407,048 m³ per year. Priority 1954-07-08-0001 is carried to the recipient.
Price is not disclosed in open sources reviewed for the Water Register dossier. Seller identity remains pending full ERV party verification; the current holder record in ERV is the industrial buyer. That pattern is common on private industrial and agricultural transfers where press coverage is thin.
A 1954 priority is senior on a FITFIR ranking relative to many post-closure municipal acquisitions that carry later priorities. Practitioners comparing industrial and municipal deals should separate seniority, volume, purpose, and disclosed consideration rather than treating watershed proximity as a price substitute.
The case sits in Water Register's transfer inventory as an ERV-verified recipient authorization. Use it as a market-move marker for industrial allocation in the Bow system, and confirm every field in ERV before client work.
