The cost-effective creation of sustainable reclaimed ecosystems similar to those found in the Athabasca Oil Sands region requires detailed planning of landscapes, soils, vegetation, and technologies. Guidelines for Reclamation to Forest Forest Vegetation in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region provide a process for establishing commercial forests similar to ecosite phase vegetation of the Central Mixed Wood Sub-Region of the Boreal Forest. This information letter provides a brief introduction to the process and its uses.

Description

The fundamental principle of these criteria is that the success of land reclamation is measured against the original or representative site conditions with due consideration for construction norms at the time of development. In cases where pre-construction data are not available, the land, soil and vegetation adjacent to the site will be used as a comparison. However, in special cases, the operator may have to find representative land, soil and vegetation a short distance from the site; the reasons for doing this must be explained in the application and to the Conservation and Reclamation Inspector at the inquiry.
