No measureable air pollutant effect was observed on either vascular or lichen communities at any site even though significantly high tissue pollutant concentrations were documented within 10km of GCOS
Resource
There was only very limited evidence of biological responses to increased pollutant content in spite of significantly higher pollutant levels in tissues close to existing industrial developments.

Powerline rights-of-way were surveyed throughout Alberta to find out what vegetation was growing on them and if reseeding was required. The Whitewood coal mine at Wabamun was surveyed

Determine which native plant species might be useful in the revegetation of disturbed sites such as pipelines, cutlines and strip mining areas and collect seed for further studies

Reviews what is currently known of fish ecology and production of the Athabasca Basin, and includes discussions of fish production, sport and commercial use of fish populations
Resource
Water quality of the Athabasca River within the oil sands area has been monitored since 1976. Several studies of benthic invertebrate communities have been conducted to provide descriptive information
