Following closure, access management on designated trails will reduce risk of conflicts. Imposing access restrictions, preserving undisturbed habitat patches and restoring original vegetation

Preliminary results, after two growth seasons, show promise in the use of pre-inoculated seedlings in enhancing growth and establishment of alders and conifers on oil sands reclamation sites.

Results of the research indicate that current reclamation practices are appropriate for providing soil moisture to support vegetation covers.

CEMA, a multi-stakeholder organisation advising the provincial and federal governments, is committed to respectful, inclusive dialogue to make recommendations for cumulative effects management

Task-group formed to define Best Management Practices (BMPs) for conservation of reclamation materials in the mineable oil sands region of Alberta; easier to define BMPs for salvage than replacement

Goals: Maintain and enhance focal species habitat and populations; preserve pre-disturbance or modified recreational land use opportunities; and approximate pre-disturbance native biological diversity

In the future, Fort McKay will continue to strive for faster reclamation that will restore the land to pre-mining conditions and seek the complete elimination of fluid fine tailings stored in an EPL

Screens native grasses [fringed brome grass (Bromus ciliatus), June grass (Koeleria macrantha), a mix of native grasses with barley and oats (Avena sativa) for suitability to grow and stabilise tailin

Subject matter experts were asked to participate in a multi-year process to review, interpret and synthesise results on marsh (open water wetland) reclamation and research in the oil sands region

Requirements for conservation and reclamation activities at oil sands mines, including but not limited to soil salvage, storage, and placement, revegetation, wildlife and biodiversity, and wetlands
