Examines the mechanisms of natural riverine sediment production in the Northern River Basins Study area, together with the routine data for suspended sediment in the area's rivers, as background for the examination of sediment-associated contaminants. Topics examined include: the causative mechanisms and boundary conditions affecting the sediment regime, including area topography, geology, and hydrology; availability and adequacy of data on suspended sediments in the area; time trends of fluvial suspended sediment dynamics on a seasonal (open water and ice regime) and annual basis, over the long term, and in critical events; sediment sources, pathways, and fates, and sediment dynamics at basin-wide, reach, and site levels; sediment quality, including sediment-associated characteristics of pulp mill effluents and sediment-contaminant relationships; and implications for sediment-associated contaminants. Recommendations are made for monitoring and assessment of the sediment component of the area's ecosystem.

"The transport characteristics of the fine sediment are essential parameters for modelling the transport, fate and bioaccumulation of contaminants in river systems. In this study, which was carried out for the Northern River Basins Study (NRBS), sediments from the Athabasca River near Hinton, Alberta were tested in the rotating flume and their transport parameters measured. A brief description of the experimental procedure and some significant results are presented in this report"--Abstract.

This study characterizes the size distribution and transport processes of suspended particles in the Athabasca River below the pulp mill outfall at Hinton, Alberta. The project consisted of two field surveys in winter and fall 1993, measuring the flow field, size distribution of in-situ and dispersed particles, and concentration of particles in the water column over a reach extending from a point 8 kilometers upstream from Hinton to a point 175 kilometers downstream. The data from the two surveys show the effects of the pulp mill effluent on the physical transport characteristics of the ambient sediment. The results indicate the need for an improved sediment transport model.
