Assessing biodiversity on Alberta oil sands mine reclamation

The first step was designed to ensure that the members of the ITG had a good understanding of the background work that had been conducted, the objectives of the RCA methodology and the proposed tasks developed by Ciborowski et al. [...] The Information Session included a summary and meeting wrap up to compile all of the learnings from the session and ensure that the ITG had a thorough understanding of the issues critical to the design of the Biodiversity Monitoring Program and the recommendations from the Ciborowski et al. [...] The Information Session included a summary and meeting wrap up to compile all of the learnings from the Information Session and ensure that the ITG had a thorough understanding of the issues critical to the design of the Biodiversity Monitoring Program and the recommendations from the Ciborowski et al. [...] To assist with achieving this objective Stantec prepared two technical documents to inform the members of the ITG of relevant biodiversity components of previously conducted projects within the oil sands and of the approaches used by the mining industry outside of the oil sands. [...] The Biodiversity and Wildlife Task Group (BWTG) commissioned a report to review the state of knowledge of soil biodiversity and the potential for monitoring in the oil sands region.
