A Framework for Reclamation Certification Criteria and Indicators for Mineable Oil Sands
Resource
Report proposes a criteria and indicator (C&I) framework and recommendations for development of reclamation certification criteria for oil sands mines
A Multi-stakeholder Approach for Developing Mine Reclamation Guidelines
Resource
CEMA, a multi-stakeholder organisation advising the provincial and federal governments, is committed to respectful, inclusive dialogue to make recommendations for cumulative effects management
An Assessment of Sampling Designs Using SCR Analyses to Estimate Abundance of Boreal Caribou
Resource
Abstract Accurately estimating abundance is a critical component of monitoring and recovery of rare and elusive species. Spatial capture–recapture (SCR) models are an increasingly popular method for...
Assessing Re-establishment of Functional Forest Ecosystems on Reclaimed Oil Sands Mine Lands
Resource
This paper presents information on RWG’s approach to the guidance and assessment of reforestation of oil sands mine disturbances
Assessing the Suitability of a One-time Sampling Event for Close-kin Mark-recapture: A Caribou Case Study
Resource
Abstract Abundance estimation is frequently an objective of conservation and monitoring initiatives for threatened and other managed populations. While abundance estimation via capture–mark–recapture...
Best Management Practices for Conservation of Reclamation Materials in the Mineable Oil Sands Region of Alberta
Resource
The document was developed with the intention of providing leading practices that will help operators optimize the use of available reclamation materials on a site-specific basis. EPEA approvals state...
Biting Flies and Activity of Caribou in the Boreal Forest
Resource
Habitat loss has been implicated in the decline of forest-dwelling caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou), but it is unknown how biting insects, potentially important components of boreal forest habitat...

The Cumulative Environmental Management Association (CEMA) was a leading multi-stakeholder group operating in the heart of Canada’s boreal forest - the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, Alberta...
Comparison of Soil Quality and Productivity of Reclaimed and Native Oil Sands Soils
Resource
The primary target of land reclamation in the Athabasca Oil Sands (AOS) region of Canada is to re-create ecosystems which are similar to the pre-disturbance ecosystems. The main objective of this...
Comprehensive Report on Operational Reclamation Techniques in the Mineable Oil Sands Region
Resource
This report identifies and summarizes reclamation practices that have been used in the mineable Oil Sands region and coal mining industry over the last 40+ years.
Criteria and Indicator Framework for Oil Sands Mine Reclamation
Resource
Outcome-based criteria encourage innovations in reclamation techniques, provide a higher level of credibility credibility for decision makers, and increase certainty for the operator
