Design and implementation of a decision support system for environmental effects monitoring / William G. Booty, Isaac Wong, David Lam, Oskar Resler.: En13-5/05-452E-PDF

"The Environmental Effects Monitoring (EEM) Statistical Assessment Tool (SAT) Decision Support System (DSS) has been developed to provide a user-friendly data analysis, display and decision support tool for Canada’s federal environmental effects monitoring program for pulp and paper and mining industries. The target users include industries, consultants, Regional EEM Coordinators, National EEM Office and scientists involved in EEM-related research. The tool allows the assessment of the effects of effluent from industrial or other sources on fish and benthic populations. Effect endpoints, which are used as indicators of potentially important effluent effects, are measured at effluent-exposed sites and are compared statistically to measures at reference sites, in order to determine if changes have occurred and the magnitude of changes. The results are used in assessing the adequacy of existing regulations for protecting aquatic environments"--Abstract.
