Description

This Request for Proposal seeks to assess the environmental capacity of the Muskeg River watershed for the release of non-process affected water, considering releases from oil sands mining and aggregate extraction operations. The assessment will evaluate hydrological and water quality data, including current industrial releases, ambient, and community-based monitoring information. The project aims to understand potential effects on the hydrological integrity and water quality of the Muskeg River and its tributaries. Findings will be shared with Indigenous communities, industry, and other stakeholders upon project completion.
