Hastings, R., Olson, R., Ellis, R.
The chemical characteristics of snow in the Oil Sands area of northeastern Alberta have been monitored periodically since 1976. The accumulation of pollutants in the snowpack can be an effective indicator of total winter deposition as the snowpack preserves a continuous record of materials...

The Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program (AOSERP) Subproject VE 7.1 was initiated to select suitable tree and shrub species for use in revegetating spoils and tailings resulting from oil sands mining operations in northeastern Alberta. As part of this program three field trials were...

Taylor, B., Hamilton, H., Westlake, D., Wallace, R., Foght, J., Hrudey, S.
This report investigates the relationship between certain hydrocarbons that are present naturally, or could be introduced due to surface oil sands mining and upgrading activities, and their potential bioaccumulation and tainting of the commercial fishery in the Athabasca River. This includes...

Alberta Forestry, Lands and Wildlife, Resource Planning Branch
In a region such as the Athabasca Oil Sands, a major consequence of resource development is the need to transport people, materials and energy into and out of the region. While resource development has encouraged the establishment or upgrading of transportation infrastructure such as roads, a...

Between 1978 and 1981 the Alberta Forest Service established 10 native grass field trials. The general objectives were: (1) to select the most promising native grass species for reclamation of high elevation disturbances in the Eastern Slopes; (2) to design and evaluate native grass seed...

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,...

Takyi, S., Yeung, P., Nyborg, M., Parker, R. W.
In the summers of 1975, 1976, and 1977, several field investigations were carried out to determine the amounts of sulphur deposited in rain, in rain washing off trees, and by direct absorption of SO2 by soil. The impact of this sulphur deposition on soils in the AOSERP study area was also...

Corkum, L., Thompson, M. V., Hamilton, H. R.
This report overviews major water quality patterns and trends for the Athabasca River and its major tributaries. In doing so it compares water quality data with surface water quality objectives, identifies spatial and temporal patterns, defines major factors affecting water quality,...
