operating as Advisian, to complete the Oil Sands Groundwater Monitoring Program in the North and South
Athabasca Oil Sands (NAOS and SAOS, respectively) Regions in 2016 and 2017. Two groundwater
monitoring and sampling events were conducted in fall (October-December) 2016 and spring (April-May)
2017. Field activities included downloading data from data loggers, measuring water levels and field
parameters, and obtaining representative groundwater samples for submission to accredited laboratories
for analysis. Data requests were also made to various operators in the two regions whose wells had been
previously identified as part of the regional monitoring networks.
