The document summarizes a study assessing the potential reproductive effects of pulp mill effluent on wild fish populations near Areas of Concern in Canada. The study examined fish from the Jackfish Bay AOC, where previous research identified reproductive impacts in white sucker from exposure to bleached kraft mill discharge. The current study assessed gonad development, hormone levels, histology, and other endpoints in fish using a standardized approach to determine if similar effects are present at other AOCs. Initial results from reexamining white sucker at Jackfish Bay found reduced ovary and testes size, delayed sexual maturity, altered hormone levels, and other reproductive issues consistent with prior studies.
Lake Superior is the largest and cleanest of the Great Lakes, home to diverse plant and animal species. While its ecosystem remains in good condition, threats such as invasive species, land use change, contaminants, and climate change require continued protection efforts. The Lakewide Action and Management Plan (LAMP) is the mechanism for the US and Canada to cooperate on monitoring the lake and taking actions to address these threats, with a focus on habitat restoration, reducing chemical pollutants, and adapting to climate change. Ongoing challenges include legacy contaminants in fish, emerging chemicals of concern, and stresses from climate change such as warming waters impacting cold-water fish species.
The document discusses the transformation of former industrial sites into urban parks. It provides examples of such parks including Parc Andrée Citroën in Paris, Emscher Park in Germany, and Mataderos in Madrid. It then focuses on Westergasfabriek in Amsterdam, which was a former gas factory that has been converted into a cultural park through a remediation strategy. The success of Westergasfabriek is attributed to its programming that fits the park and buildings, the use of high quality materials, and the quality of the planning and design process.

This document provides a chronology of development along the Current River in Thunder Bay, Ontario from 1823 to present day. It describes how the river was initially used by Indigenous peoples and explored by European settlers in the 1800s. The first major development was a stamp mill built at the river's mouth in 1866 to process ore from a nearby silver mine. Over time, more mines, docks, and other industrial activities were established along the lower reaches of the river. By the late 1900s, the river's ecology had been degraded but rehabilitation efforts are now underway to restore fish habitat and populations through projects like a fish ladder installed in 1991. The document aims to outline the history of human impacts to inform management strategies to rehabilitate

Nipigon Secondary Wastewater Treatment Report, March 2013.
The report was prepared by Town of Nipigon Engineer Geoff Aitken in March, 2013 and summarizes operations of the Nipigon secondary wastewater treatment plant.
Matthew Child from the International Joint Commission gave a presentation on remediating Areas of Concern in the Great Lakes. He discussed three main challenges faced by most Canadian AOCs: contaminated sediments impairing fish and wildlife consumption and habitat; loss of habitat; and stormwater issues impairing beaches and degrading aesthetics and plankton populations. He provided examples of sediment remediation, habitat restoration, and green infrastructure projects from other AOCs. Child emphasized the importance of partnerships, community engagement, accountability, and persistence in making progress on RAP goals.
This document discusses the benefits of trees and green infrastructure for stormwater management. It notes that trees intercept 78,600 cubic meters of water per year, valued at $552,360. Integrating trees with other stormwater innovations can provide multiple benefits like interception, infiltration, pollutant removal, and reduced flooding. It also contains information about the emerald ash borer, an invasive beetle threatening ash trees, and efforts to prevent its spread in Northwestern Ontario.
This document summarizes a study on stormwater impacts to McVicar Creek. The study aimed to: identify impacts; characterize them through a stream assessment; identify 3 representative sites; pursue further research; and develop remediation recommendations. The initial assessment identified 3 sites - Court Street, Castlegreen, and County Fair - for further study. Additional data collection and stakeholder workshops were held. The workshops developed stormwater management objectives and site-specific recommendations. For Court Street, increased enforcement and education were recommended. For Castlegreen, investigating infrastructure and partnering with local groups. For County Fair, educating landowners and considering end-of-pipe solutions were recommended. The final recommendations emphasized objectives and further stakeholder
The document summarizes the results of a 2009 investigation of sediment, water, and biota near the Northern Wood Preservers Inc. site in Thunder Bay Harbour. The investigation found elevated levels of PAHs in sediment and mussels in areas closest to the contaminated sediment, though benthic communities did not appear affected. PAH levels in sediment have decreased since remediation, but remain above guidelines in some areas. Continued monitoring is recommended to assess the long-term recovery of the site.
Part 2 of the overview of sediment management at sites across the Great Lakes. Excellent information about the north harbour section of the Thunder Bay Area of Concern
The document summarizes contaminated sediment management plans for several sites in the Great Lakes region. It discusses sediment remediation projects in Thunder Bay North Harbour, Peninsula Harbour, and the St. Clair River. For each site, it provides details on the nature of contamination, sediment sampling results, sediment management options considered, and the selected remediation approach. It also outlines implementation schedules and long-term monitoring plans. Key challenges to Great Lakes sediment remediation projects are high costs and increasing cost uncertainties over the stages of a project.
Surface water samples were taken from 5 sites along a river in March 2010. Mercury levels were measured at each site, ranging from 0.017 parts per million at site 5 to 0.069 parts per million at site 1. Overall, mercury levels were highest upstream at site 1 and generally decreased further downstream.
Lake Superior is faced with many of the same issues which affect the lower Great Lakes. These include chemical contaminants, habitat loss and degradation, areas of concern and developing sustainability. Problems are intensified by new and emerging issues such as a huge increase in proposed mining developments along with severe economic downturn due to industry losses in the forestry sector. For close to 20 years, the Lake Superior Binational Forum representing citizen stakeholders, co-ordinated by EcoSuperior and Northland College, has been at the centre of Lake Superior Binational Program restoration and protection efforts. A detailed review of programs and projects implemented by these organizations, both successes and failures, reveals useful lessons. Initiatives include a full range of activities from benthic biomonitoring, survey research and pollution prevention to outreach campaigns and community events. Such practical experience on this Great Lakes source watershed is essential information for all organizations striving to achieve future progress in meeting Lakewide Management Plan goals.
