Description

Pharmaceuticals, hormones, and other known or suspected endocrine disrupting compounds have been widely detected in various waters throughout the world. Prior to this study, however, sampling for these substances was rather limited within Alberta. In 2002 and 2003, due to concerns about potential impacts on humans, livestock, aquatic organisms, and wildlife, Alberta Environment collected wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluents and receiving river water from numerous locations throughout the province and analysed them for a broad range of organic wastewater contaminants (OWCs). This initial survey, encompassing an assortment of pharmaceuticals, antibiotics, steroids, surfactants, and plasticizers, was designed to determine which compounds are released by WWTPs in Alberta and to assess their presence in receiving river waters.

Description

Frank Lake is a restored lake and wetland area east of High River, AB. It was designed to treat wastewaters from the High River Wastewater Treatment Plant and the Cargill Foods Limited meat packing plant, and to provide habitat for waterfowl production. Alberta Environmental Protection began a water quality monitoring program at Frank Lake in 1990. This program was designed to provide very basic characterization of the combined effluents and treatment efficiency of the first basin.
