Jackfish Bay Area of Concern

Ongoing monitoring and reporting are needed to evaluate the progress of natural recovery. It is recommended that changes in sediment and benthos be evaluated at least once every ten years. Environmental impacts of the pulp and paper industry are evaluated every four years to determine the effectiveness of mitigative measures. Contaminant levels in sport fish are evaluated at least every five years until consumption advisories can be removed. Sediment contamination and aquatic communities in Moberly Lake are evaluated regularly for incremental progress towards recovery.

Environment Canada and the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources cooperate to lead implementation actions.
