Environmental contaminants in water and sediments : upper Athabasca River, April, 1992 / by Robert W. Crosley.R71-49/3-108E

In early 1992, a 200-kilometre reach of the Athabasca River between Hinton and Whitecourt was chosen as the NRBS reach-specific study area. The reach receives effluent from the Weldwood Canada pulp mill mixed with municipal effluent from the town of Hinton. Sampling in the reach for a number of aquatic media including water, suspended sediment, bottom sediment, benthic invertebrates, biofilm, and fish was initiated in late March 1992. The objective of the reach-specific study was to provide and intensive ecosystem database for a representative reach, with which to priorize subsequent basin-wide sampling.--Report summary
