1 Facets of Cumulative Effects Regarding Water Resources 1 29/04/2010
2 Introduction Topics Overview of Water Use in Alberta Hydrogeologic Framework Assessment Strategies Terms of Reference Baseline Conditions and EIA s 2 29/04/2010
3 Oil sands of Canada World-class resource (175 billion barrels proven) (315 billion barrels estimated) 10-15% mineable; balance from in-situ technologies (CSS, SAGD, THAI, Cold flow) Projected growth raises concerns re: sustainability and future effects Perceived need, at a Pubic Relations Level, for a balanced development plan 3 29/04/2010
4 Hydrogeology Water Attractions and Detractions: As a Resource Water Supply, Agricultural, Commercial, Municipal Water Supply, Mining/SAGD 4 29/04/2010

15 Water Quality Athabasca River NATURAL!!! Exposed oil sands along the river banks Groundwater natural contact under normal geologic conditions Baseline concentrations indicate no increases Natural occurrence of various compounds and ion s in contact with SW and GW 15 29/04/2010
16 Baseline and RAMP RAMP - Regional Aquatics Monitoring Program Compares monitoring data with EIA predictions. Comparisons between U/S and D/S stations no effects due to local human activities. Numerous independent studies confirm OSO: have not influenced water or sediment quality no increase in concentrations of contaminants concentrations in other rivers found to be higher than those adjacent to oil sands projects. the contaminant sources in the area are natural /04/2010
17 Terms of Reference (Baseline) Provide overview of Hydrogeologic setting, A) Regional/project geology (maps/crosssections) B) Regional/project hydrogeology i) Describe aquifers/aquitards/aquicludes ii) iii) Groundwater chemistry Discharge/recharge/GW-SW interaction iv) Recharge to Quaternary Aquifers v) Hydraulic connections 17 29/04/2010
18 Terms of Reference (EIA 1) A) Potential effects to groundwater resources (quantity/quality) B) a) groundwater-surface water b) vegetation, wetlands, aquatics c) groundwater quality d) groundwater users e) seasonal variations f) groundwater withdrawal g) water balance changes 18 29/04/2010
19 Terms of Reference (EIA 2) B) Programs to manage and protect groundwater a) early detection of potential contamination b) groundwater remediation options c) monitoring groundwater production C) Residual effects to groundwater, and plans to manage these, Monitoring - Groundwater quantity - Groundwater quality 19 29/04/2010
