Description

This document is part of a series of research reports that describes the results of investigations funded under the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program, which was established by agreements of the Governments of Alberta and Canada in February 1975. This ten year program was designed to direct and co-ordinate research projects concerned with the environmental effects of development of the Athabasca Oil Sands in Alberta. This report documents and appraises baseline water chemical quality conditions of a lake and streams within the Muskeg River Watershed.

Description

The methodology of environmental impact analyses incorporates the principle of subjective assessment of the impacts of the separate actions which comprise the project upon various factors of the environment. The significant factors relating to effects on the physical and chemical characteristics of the northern Alberta environment as a result of potential oil sands development in the Athabasca tar sands were documented according to the "Procedure for Evaluating Environmental Impact" - Geological Survey Circular 645. The text of this impact report was based on the sum of magnitude and importance vectors being equal to or greater than 5 for any specific sector of the physical and chemical environment. This report and possible computer data adaptation may provide for additional summation and recommendation of specific actions incurred by oil sands development as these proposals further relate to biological and cultural aspects of the environment.

Description

Sprinkling, as a method of irrigation, has been practiced in Alberta since 1984. It is more particularly recommended for porous, erodible, steep, rolling soils or soils that are too thin for levelling, or where surface irrigation is un-economic in comparison to sprinkling. Sprinkling is also recommended for areas where only occasional supplemental irrigation are needed.
