Background
The Scientific Authority is the Environment Canada (EC) lead for paleolimnological studies pollutants in lake sediments in the oil sands re
gion under the Canada-Alberta Joint Oil Sands Monitoring program (JOSMP). Atmospheric deposition has been identified as a potentially important route for delivery of polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) and
heavy metals from oil sands upgraders and mining sites to aquatic and terrestrial environments in the region (Kelly et al. 2009;2010; Kurek et
al.2013; Kirk et al 2014). The impacts on fish and invertebrates in
aquatic systems in the region are not well studied according to recent independent assessments undertaken by the Royal Society of Canada and by
an independent advisory committee to the Minister of Environment.
The purpose of this contract is to have a qualified laboratory
to conduct specified paleolimnological analyses and
interpretation on sediment cores collected in March 2014 and in
March 2015 under the Joint Oil Sands Monitoring plan in order to
contribute to reporting of work conducted under JOSMP.

d DOC) results from 4 cores in a series of Excel files. The contractor will submit an invoice for partial payment based on satisfactory progress.
March 31, 2016. Final report on fossil invertebrate relative ab
undances, CP and VNIRS.
