Water quality Regulated Alberta Environment prohibits the release of any water that does not meet water quality requirements. Monitored The Alberta Government partners with the Regional Aquatics Monitoring Program (RAMP), a multi-stakeholder organization, to monitor water in the region where oil sands operations occur. Thousands of samples are collected and reports are issued annually. Results “In fall 2009, water quality at test and baseline stations in the Athabasca River were assessed as having Negligible – Low differences from regional “Contaminant levels in other rivers in the area with absolutely no industrial oil sands activity have been found to be higher than those adjacent to oil sands projects.” – Alberta Environment 42 baseline water quality conditions.” Source: RAMP 2009
Industry in action Devon Canada Devon’s Jackfish drilling (in situ) project doesn’t use any water suitable for human consumption or agriculture for steam generation. 100% of water used is drawn from deep formations and is too salty to be used for other purposes. More than 80% of the water is recycled back through the process. Suncor Energy Wapisiw Lookout is Suncor’s first tailings pond, put into service at the company’s mining project in the 1960s. Formerly known as Pond 1, the area is the first tailings pond to be reclaimed to a solid surface. It is currently undergoing reclamation and will include both wetland and dry landscapes. Imperial Oil Limited Imperial’s Cold Lake drilling (in situ) operation has reduced its per barrel water use from 3.5 barrels in 1985 to 0.5 barrels today by recycling more than 95% of the water it uses.
