A Framework for Reclamation Certification Criteria and Indicators for Mineable Oil Sands
Resource
Report proposes a criteria and indicator (C&I) framework and recommendations for development of reclamation certification criteria for oil sands mines
A Multi-stakeholder Approach for Developing Mine Reclamation Guidelines
Resource
CEMA, a multi-stakeholder organisation advising the provincial and federal governments, is committed to respectful, inclusive dialogue to make recommendations for cumulative effects management
A Synthesis of Three Decades of Eco-Hydrological Research at Scotty Creek, NWT, Canada
Resource
Scotty Creek, Northwest Territories (NWT), Canada, has been the focus of eco-hydrological research for nearly three decades. Over this period, field and modelling studies have generated new insights...
Assessing Re-establishment of Functional Forest Ecosystems on Reclaimed Oil Sands Mine Lands
Resource
This paper presents information on RWG’s approach to the guidance and assessment of reforestation of oil sands mine disturbances
Best Management Practices for Conservation of Reclamation Materials in the Mineable Oil Sands Region of Alberta
Resource
The document was developed with the intention of providing leading practices that will help operators optimize the use of available reclamation materials on a site-specific basis. EPEA approvals state...
Community-level Modelling of Boreal Forest Mammal Distribution in an Oil Sands Landscape
Resource
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
Comparison of Soil Quality and Productivity of Reclaimed and Native Oil Sands Soils
Resource
The primary target of land reclamation in the Athabasca Oil Sands (AOS) region of Canada is to re-create ecosystems which are similar to the pre-disturbance ecosystems. The main objective of this...
Comprehensive Report on Operational Reclamation Techniques in the Mineable Oil Sands Region
Resource
This report identifies and summarizes reclamation practices that have been used in the mineable Oil Sands region and coal mining industry over the last 40+ years.
Criteria and Indicator Framework for Oil Sands Mine Reclamation
Resource
Outcome-based criteria encourage innovations in reclamation techniques, provide a higher level of credibility credibility for decision makers, and increase certainty for the operator

Early Successional Wildlife Monitoring on Reclamation Plots in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region
Resource
Pilot study to assess the use of early successional stands (i.e. those ranging in age from 4 to 17 years) by wildlife (songbirds, small mammals, and ungulates), using a wildlife monitoring protocol
Effects of Road Dust on Vegetation Composition and Surface Chemistry of Three Ombrotrophic Peatlands in Eastern Canada
Resource
Dust deposition can fertilize nutrient-limited peatlands and affect their plant assemblages and ecosystem functions, but the effects of local road dust on peatlands have seldom been studied. Here, we...
End Pit Lakes Guidance Document 2012
Resource
Document presents the scientific and engineering expertise to guide all reclamation activities associated with end pit lake design and construction

Increased Nutrient Availability Speeds up Permafrost Development, While Goose Grazing Slows it Down in a Canadian High Arctic Wetland
Resource
1. It is of prime importance to understand feedbacks due to the release of carbon (C) stored in permafrost soils (permafrost-climate feedback) and direct impacts of climatic variations on permafrost...
Increasing Contributions of Peatlands to Boreal Evapotranspiration in a Warming Climate
Resource
The response of evapotranspiration (ET) to warming is of critical importance to the water and carbon cycle of the boreal biome, a mosaic of land cover types dominated by forests and peatlands. The...
