The impacts of the oil spill and subsequent treatment regimes on the vegetation forming the lacustrine marshes have not been assessed as of August 2007. We were hired to assess the ecosystem health of previously treated, contaminated, and unaffected lacustrine marshes of Wabamun Lake and to provide a long-term prognosis for the viability of these marshes.
