Black Spruce - Labrador Tea was the dominant vegetation type, making up 35.0% of the 9,250 ha study area. The 2nd most abundant type was Aspen - White Spruce (26.0%) and the 3rd was White Spruce – Asp

The area does not appear to include any rare or endangered species and the habitats in the area are common to a large portion of Northern Alberta, therefore area is not critical to any wildlife specie

Characterize and re-define aquatic habitats. Aquatic habitat, water quality, flora, and fauna of the aquatic systems in the development area are typical of those found in the oil sands region

Study designed to determine whether groundwater from the mine area is toxic and, if so, the concentrations at which this toxicity is expressed. Species, including fish and aquatic insects was tested

This assessment was designed to locate and assess prehistoric and historic sites which might be present in the area between the Beaver and MacKay Rivers. Three prehistoric sites were recorded

A total of 14 species was observed on the study plots in 72 separate sightings. The gray jay was the most common species (57 sightings), followed by hoary and common redpolls (33 sightings), willow p

Cold stratification for two weeks at 5°C before germination showed no significant difference in the average percent germination between the stratified and unstratified seeds.

Stem cuttings of balsam poplar and three poplar hybrids were directly planted onto reclamation material ontailings dyke slope. The overall rooting success was poor - direct planting is not recommended

Brief review of the principal habitat units present on the Syncrude lease prior to development supported by a review of pertinent references

Five alternative socio-economic impact assessment programs were evaluated from the viewpoint of their value for planning.

Relative abundance and spatial distribution of moose, deer and 13 species of furbearers were investigated by systematic aerial surveys and winter track counts along 215 km of established transect line

Ground surveys were conducted of 30 water bodies on and near the lease, including lakes, ponds, the Athabasca River, roadside borrow pits, and shallow marshes created by clearing and water diversion

Shorebirds readily landed on the shore of this pond and were observed to pick up bitumen on their feet and legs. Hazard considered small although some shorebirds are known to have died at this pond

Migration watches were undertaken to complement studies of birds using the waterbodies in the area of the development. Watches were conducted each morning and evening from a blind overlooking the Atha

Determine the present availability of pertinent hydrogeological data. Interpret this data as far as possible and outline effects of the groundwater systems on oil recovery operations and vice versa

Study to determine the scientific, technical and economic feasibility of establishing air pollution effect gradients using lichenological methods on a radially arranged pattern of observation sites

Overall objectives of this study were to determine the abundance and diversity of terrestrial breeding birds and conduct waterbird inventories to determine what changes, if any, have occurred

Study was designed to investigate the survival of selected organisms in Beaver Creek Reservoir during 1979 following discharge of mine depressurization water from the mining area into the Reservoir

Objectives of the research were to study methods for the establishment of a stable vegetative cover that would prevent erosion of the slope and, in time, might become a self maintaining unit.

This monograph reports the selection of native and naturalized species suitable for use in revegetation of disturbed sites in the Athabasca Tar Sands Area. Growth chamber tests using 25 species
