Description
In summer of 2012, the Government of Alberta approved the Lower Athabasca Regional Plan and with it, three environmental management frameworks that aim to manage the cumulative effects of different activities in the region. The Groundwater Management Framework outlines a strategy for monitoring, evaluating and reporting changes in groundwater conditions, and identifies management actions that may be taken when such changes are observed. This supporting document provides summary information about the geology and hydrogeology of the North Athabasca Oil Sands area, providing a basis for understanding groundwater conditions.
