Resource Name AMEC Earth & Environmental. 2010. Technical Data Report - Surface Water and Sediment Quality: Enbridge Northern Gateway Project.
Resource Purpose The purpose of this document is to describe the baseline characteristics of surface water and sediment quality, which will be assessed in the environmental and socio-economic assessment (ESA). This information will be used to identify construction and operational measures that will be needed to limit or avoid environmental effects on these biophysical elements. It will also be used as a basis against which environmental effects on surface water quality will be assessed. The Enbridge Northern Gateway Project (the Project) water quality database was developed using surface water and sediment quality data from different sources and data collected during the 2005 field survey. This baseline technical data report includes:  sources for water and sediment quality information  field programs and data collection methods  an overview of the water quality within major basins and hydrological zones, based on available historical information  surface water and sediment quality along the route at watercourse crossings, where applicable  a comparison and analysis of compliance with applicable Alberta, British Columbia and federal water and sediment quality guidelines
