1985
Land Conservation and Reclamation Council, Alberta Chapter, Canadian Land Reclamation Association
The question we are faced with today is: How do we establish a system or systems for measuring success in reclamation? That is a challenge that has been going on for quite sometime for all of us, in one way or another. We have tried to apply some useful process and have either failed in part,...

Media Coverage of Oil Sands Pipelines: A Chronological Record of Headlines from 2010 to 2014
Download2014-12-21
Until recently pipelines have not received much public or media attention. The lines, and the companies that operated them, flew under the radar. Their journeys through the regulatory system were usually simple, quick and free of rancor. This is certainly no longer the case. Applications for...

Meteorological factors affecting ambient SO2 concentrations near an oil sands extraction plant
Download1980
Peters, R. R., Strosher, M. M.
Occurrences of maximum 0.5 h hour ground level measurements of SO2 near a point source are related to the meteorological processes at the time such that a cause analysis of the occurrences is established. Measurements, from a 10 station, continuous air quality monitoring network, range from 0.12...

Metrics for Assessing Fisheries Productivity and Offsetting Strategies under Canada’s New Fisheries Act
Download2014-12-23
Poesch, M., Christensen-Dalsgaard, K.K., Sinnatamby, R.N.
The Alberta oil sands region contains one of the world’s largest oil deposits, estimated at 1.7 trillion barrels. Development in this region can have negative effects for aquatic species, governed under Canada’s Fisheries Act. The Fisheries Act allows the possibility for offsetting losses in...

Geesy, G. G., Costerton, J. W.
The direct epifluorescence method has been adapted for counting bacteria in the sometimes turbid water of the Athabasca River and this method has been used to quantify planktonic bacteria. Monthly samples over an annual cycle beginning in May 1976 showed this population ranged from 1 x 105 to 2...

Microcosm Evaluation of Community Level Physiological Profiling in Oil Sands Process Affected Water
Download2012-11-02
Eaton, B., Humphries, D., Davies, J.
A microcosm-based experiment was conducted to investigate the ability of community level physiological profiling (CLPP) to detect changes in an aquatic microbial community resulting from exposure to oil sands process affected water (OSPW). Detection of the microbial response was done by using...
