Stream diversion projects in the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program study area that have been or will be required in the course of oil sands development are outlined. The effects of stream diversions on aquatic life, natural recovery of stream ecosystems from the effects of diversion

, effectiveness of habitat restoration or enhancement techniques, and potential applications of biomonitoring techniques for studying the effects of diversions are reviewed with special reference to the AOSERP study area. Scientific references pertaining to these topics are compiled in an annotated bibliography

. Information \"gaps\" and research needs pertinent to the AOSERP study area are briefly outlined. The primary research need recommended at the present time is to collect as much information as possible about the effects of the Beaver Creek diversion to aid in planning future diversion projects and related

assimilative capacity of the Athabasca River with special regard to organics. Objectives for the project are: (1) To analyze available hydrometric, sediment and water quality data pertinent to the organic regime of the river; (2) To synthesize the data into a framework of understanding (model) that would

The rate and extent of this adaptive capability is the underlying process of assimilative capacity which must be understood and therefore examined. This project is intended to provide a problem analysis of the goal to determine the

Atmospheric chemical transformation processes for which mechanistic or experimental data are lacking, are identified and some research projects which would lead to a better understanding and prediction of the chemistry of polluted air are outlined, with special emphasis on the particular problems

Dynawest Projects Ltd. has been commissioned by Alberta Environment to provide an overview of the technology available for the control of sulphur and nitrogen oxide emissions from oil sands plants. The study scope is summarized below: 1. Review briefly bitumen extraction and upgrading technologies

; equipment design and modification; and NOx removal. The latter is the most effective and expensive. The technology is well established and its application to oil sands plants presents no special problems. The Alberta Government has established guidelines limiting the total emission of sulphur from an oil
