A Foundation for the Future: Building an Environmental Monitoring System for the Oil Sands
On September 30, 2010 the federal Minister of the Environment announced the establishment of an Oil Sands Advisory Panel on water monitoring for the Lower Athabasca River Basin and connected waterways.
Specifically, the Advisory Panel was asked to:
1. Document, review and assess the current body of scientific research and monitoring;
2. Identify strengths and weaknesses in the scientific monitoring, and the reasons for them.
Within 60 days of being established, the Advisory Panel was to present a written report of its findings and conclusions, including recommendations, that if implemented would ensure that scientific issues would be effectively addressed.
