Description

Two TransAlta Utilities Corporation power generating plants are located on the shores of Wabamun Lake. The plants use a local supply of coal which is strip mined within the watershed. The Wabamun Power Plant is located on the north shore near the village of Wabamun and the Sundance Power Plant on the opposite south shore. There are three major point source discharges to Wabamun Lake through canals including a thermal discharge and mine drainage discharge from the Wabamun Plant on the north shore and a water discharge from the Wabamun Lake Water Treatment Plant on the south shore. Of the three major point source discharges to Wabamun Lake, the influence of the thermal effluent on aquatic vegetation and invertebrate fauna has been documented, however, the effects from the two other sources on local invertebrate fauna have not been documented.
