PREFACE: The Northern River Basins Study was initiated through the "Canada-Alberta-Northwest Territories Agreement Respecting the Peace-Athabasca-Slave River Basin Study, Phase II - Technical Studies" which was signed September 27, 1991. The purpose of the Study is to understand and characterize the cumulative effects of development on the water and aquatic environment of the Study Area by coordinating with existing programs and undertaking appropriate new technical studies. This publication reports the method and findings of particular work conducted as part of the Northern River Basins Study. As such, the work was governed by a specific terms of reference and is expected to contribute information about the Study Area within the context of the overall study as described by the Study Final Report. This report has been reviewed by the Study Science Advisory Committee in regards to scientific content and has been approved by the Study Board of Directors for public release. It is explicit in the objectives of the Study to report the results of technical work regularly to the public. This objective is served by distributing project reports to an extensive network of libraries, agencies, organizations and interested individuals and by granting universal permission to reproduce the material. This report contains referenced data obtained from sources external to the Northern River Basins Study. Individuals interested in using external data must obtain permission to do so from the donor agency.

These This report was undertaken after the sediment and programs must ensure that all stakeholders have the opportunity for sediment-associated contaminant sampling field input. programs were completed. As such the report provides a retrospective review of river processes affecting sediment-associated contaminant dynamics. The report concludes that while NRBS results have yielded some interesting observations, it would have been most useful for the monitoring and assessment of sediment work to be established prior to any field work being undertaken. The point is made that additional sediment information is likely to emerge that will have some bearing on answering questions previously raised or not yet answered by NRBS. Additional examination by a multi-disciplinary group of the NRBS data is advocated. REPORT SUMMARY This report examines the mechanisms of natural riverine sediment production in the Northern River Basins Study area, together with the routine data for suspended sediment in these rivers collected by Water Survey of Canada, as a background for the examination of sediment-associated contaminants in the NRBS area. The treatment of natural sediments is presented in Chapters 2 (study area description), 3 (data analysis), 4 (time trends) and 5 (sources, pathways and fate of sediments). The issue of sediment quality is dealt with in Chapter 6 which examines, in general terms, the contaminants associated with industrial activity in the NRBS area and the degree to which these contaminants are adsorbed onto natural river sediment. With this background information on natural sediments and on industrial contaminants, Chapter 7, the kernel of the report, then examines the interaction between industrial contaminants and natural sediment in the NRBS area, based on previous studies of river water quality and specific projects organized as part of the NRBS investigation. A synthesis of Conclusions is given in Chapter 8. Recommendations for future monitoring and assessment are provided in Chapter 9. All tables and figures are provided at the end of the report after the references. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The following individuals and agencies are acknowledged for their contributions to this report. Richard Chabaylo, of the NRBS Office provided much information and many reports. Erik Ellehoj provided river distance estimates and other GIS products. Bob Crosley (Ecological Research Division, Environmental Conservation Branch, Environment Canada, Calgary) provided details of sampling sites in the NRBS sediment program, provided draft reports on sediment-associated contaminant data from all the NRBS studies, and provided helpful comments on Chapter 7 of this report. Nick Chapin (Water Survey of Canada, Environment Canada, Calgary), supplied discharge data for the period 1990-95 for selected stations in the NRBS area and sediment data for multiple- vertical sampling for the Peace River at Peace River station.

Joe: It's been quite a while now. I was raised at Peerless Lake, around the Trout Lake area. Ernest: Is that where you came from? Joe: That's where we're originally from, but we've been here for 32 years at Little Buffalo. Ernest: But before that, that's where you came from? Joe: Yes. Ernest: But before you came here, you were at Trout Lake? Joe: Before I arrived here? I went to Ft. Vermilion, I stopped at Peace River. I travelled along from there, and this is where I settled, I never went back to Trout Lake. I stayed here at Little Buffalo after I came from Peace River. That's where I got thrown out of treaty. Ernest: At Ft. Vermilion? Joe: Yes. Ernest: You were there for sixteen years? Joe: Yes, I was there for a long time. Ernest: What happened when you got thrown out of treaty?
