Land Management Resources

To be realistic we must therefore accept the fact that some pollution will enter the atmosphere. The basic question to be answered is: "How much can reasonably be allowed?"

More emphasis is placed on field programs than on greenhouse studies, because of the nature of the problems involved. However, some topics can only be studied by laboratory methods for several years,

Alberta should regulate and control the Athabasca tar sands development for the socio-economic benefit of Albertans. Rate of development of 1 plant in every 4 years is consistent with present tecnolog

The result of this review was a plan for a five-year biophysical monitoring program to provide the necessary scientific and technical information upon which to base an effective regulatory approach.

Alberta is in a fortunate situation because most of its soils are underlain by calcareous bedrock and can, therefore, neutralize in-coming acids more efficiently than Canadian Shield areas

Population reductions of non-target organisms in the Athabasca River due to methoxychlor was limited for the May 20/21 treatment but was considerable for the June 19 treatment.

The use of methoxychlor in the Athabasca River to control black fly (Diptera: Simuliidae) larvae was monitored in 1980. Effective control of black fly was observed for a distance of 60 km

Pesticide Chemicals Branch of Alberta Environment conducted a monitoring program in 1979 related to two methoxychlor treatments of the Athabasca River for black fly (Simulium arcticum) control.

1982 supplement to the 1980 cumulated update of "A Bibliography of the Athabasca oil Sands, Fort McMurray, Alberta Area: Socio-Economic and Environmental Studies" contains references to about 900 item

Scenarios of expected concurrent flow along the Athabasca River are developed on the assumption that a 7Q10 event occurs at either Hinton, Whitecourt, Athabasca, or Fort McMurray
