What we have now, as opposed to what the RAMP program was criticized for, is a comprehensive water quality monitoring program that looks at both the tributaries to the Athabasca River and the main stem of the Athabasca River. It extends from south of Fort McMurray, where there's no development activity, to way beyond what we call the “extended geographical area”, meaning way beyond the Peace-Athabasca Delta. We also look at the Peace River. We are looking more frequently for more substances at more monitoring sites than the RAMP ever did.
