Scope

Organization: Environment and Protected Areas conducts ambient surface water quality monitoring throughout the Athabasca River and its tributaries within the oil sands region. This adaptive monitoring program supports the OSMP mandate by addressing key monitoring questions and evaluating potential effects of oil sands development on aquatic ecosystems. Monitoring is focused on priority watersheds where open-pit mining and in situ oil sands operations, including Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD), are active. The program measures a suite of physical, chemical, and biological indicators to detect changes in water quality and assess potential cumulative effects across the watershed. By examining water quality indicators alongside environmental variables associated with natural processes and human activities, the program evaluates whether observed changes are occurring, identifies potential drivers of those changes, and assesses the extent to which they may be associated with oil sands development. The geographic scope of this program covers the Athabasca Oil Sands region. Water quality monitoring includes parameters associated with bitumen-derived compounds (e.g., polycyclic aromatic compounds, vanadium, selenium, etc.); parameters that influence the transport, fate, and cycling of substances of interest (e.g., carbon). Indicators associated with landscape disturbance or altered watershed hydrology and hydrogeology including nutrients, dissolved and suspended solids, and major ions.
