Alberta Environment and Protected Areas is implementing a water quality monitoring program in response to the release of process-affected water from the Imperial Oil Ltd. Kearl oil sands producing facility in north-eastern Alberta. The monitoring program focuses on surface water bodies, but also includes samples collected from wetlands and groundwater sources. A wide range of parameters are required to be analyzed in a timely manner to support analysis that will ultimately aim to identify and characterize off-site impacts of the Kearl release on the ambient aquatic environment. Sampling is currently underway and expected to continue through the fall of 2023. Data collected through this monitoring program will be integrated with data from the existing provincial monitoring and Oil Sands Monitoring (OSM) programs for seamless evaluation and interpretation. Any samples analyzed prior to the commencement of this contract are not included in the scope of work defined herein.
