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.
Resource
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
Resource
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.

Recovering endangered species is a difficult and often controversial task that challenges status-quo land uses. Southern Mountain caribou are a threatened ecotype of caribou that historically ranged...
Resource
Long-term monitoring of some sites would ultimately be needed to show that recovering wellsites are on a trajectory that consistently leads to full recovery.
