The main objective of this sampling program was to assess the effects of the spill on the toxicity of surface water collected during the spill by comparing them with the results of water collected prior to the discharge.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

This thematic layer represents the characterization of the hardness of surface water in Quebec. The hardness is presented according to the medians calculated from the concentrations of calcium and magnesium ions in seven classes. Water hardness influences the toxicity of certain metals, including barium, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, copper, manganese, nickel, nickel, lead, and zinc. Surface water quality criteria are determined according to the hardness of the receiving watercourse. These criteria are used to make judgments about surface water quality and are the basis for groundwater criteria used to assess the quality of groundwater that recurs as surface water. Finally, they are the key element in calculating environmental discharge objectives (EORs) used to assess the quality of wastewater discharges to the aquatic environment. For a discharge that occurs on an annual basis, the median hardness of the receiving water body is generally used to calculate water quality criteria for aquatic life.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

The Riparian Quality Index (IQBR) is used to assess the ecological condition of the shoreline environment. It is built from nine components that have been weighted according to their potential to perform ecological functions in terms of the protection of aquatic ecosystems.Data on shoreline quality come from benthos monitoring stations sampled between 2003 and 2023.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Feature point layer showing locations of distributors participating in the Naloxone Take Home Program in Manitoba.This feature point layer shows the locations of distributors participating in the Naloxone Take Home Program in Manitoba. Naloxone is a drug that temporarily reverses overdose (toxicity) caused by opioid drugs (such as fentanyl, heroin, morphine, hydromorphone). Free take-home naloxone kits are available to members of the public who are at risk of opioid overdose (toxicity), and family or friends who may witness opioid toxicity. For more information see Manitoba Health. This feature layer is used in the Naloxone Distributors Map - Take Home Program and Naloxone Finder - Take Home Program application. Fields included (Alias (Field Name): Field description) Distributor (Distributor): Business name of the distributor. Product (Product): The type of product available from the distributor. Address (Address): Street address or mailing address, if applicable, of the distributor. City (City): City or town in which the distributor is located. Postal Code (Postal_Code): Postal code for the distributor's location. Participating (Participating): Indicates participation in the Naloxone Take Home Program.  Phone (Phone): Distributor's public business phone number. Provider Type (Provider_Type): Type of provider. Includes Pharmacy, Medical Clinic, Nursing Station, Public Health Unit, and Other Organization. RHA (RHA): Regional Health Authority Latitude (Latitude): Latitudinal coordinate of distributor Longitude (Longitude): Longitudinal coordinate of distributor ObjectId (ObjectId): Unique identifier

This dataset is used to: * assess biodiversity levels * define seed zones * map ecosystem types * set targets for the identification of natural heritage systems

The Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) program provides data and information to track Canada's performance on key environmental sustainability issues. The Water quality in Canadian rivers indicators provide a measure of the ability of river water across Canada to support plants and animals. At each monitoring site, water quality data are compared to water quality guidelines to create a rating for the site. If measured water quality is below the guidelines, it can maintain a healthy ecosystem. Water quality at a monitoring site is considered excellent when substances in a river are very rarely measured above their guidelines. Conversely, water quality is rated poor when measurements are usually above their guidelines, sometimes by a wide margin. These indicators provide information about the state of surface water quality and its change through time, to support water resource management. Information is provided to Canadians in a number of formats including: static and interactive maps, charts and graphs, HTML and CSV data tables and downloadable reports. See the supplementary documentation for the data sources and details on how the data were collected and how the indicator was calculated.Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators - Home page:https://www.canada.ca/environmental-indicators

This data contains location information for 1 of Ontario’s snow monitoring networks: * Surface Water Monitoring Centre (SWMC) Snow course data is collected by: * conservation authorities * Ontario Power Generation * Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) districts Data is collected twice a month from November 15 until May 15. The Surface Water Monitoring Centre uses this data to assess: * current snow cover * frozen ground conditions * snowpack * potential snowmelt * contributions to streamflow The snow data is located in a corporate water and climate database. This data helps MNR and conservation authorities assess the potential for flood at the local and provincial scale.

The Wastewater Systems Effluent Regulations (WSER), developed under the Fisheries Act, came into force in 2012 to manage wastewater releases by systems that collect an average daily influent volume of 100 cubic metres or more. The WSER also does not apply to any wastewater system located in the Northwest Territories, Nunavut and north of the 54th parallel in the provinces of Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador. The WSER set national baseline effluent quality standards that are achievable through secondary wastewater treatment. Under the WSER, owners or operators of wastewater systems discharging annual average daily effluent volumes greater than 2,500 m3 are required to determine and report on the acute lethality of the effluent.The map below presents the percentage of acute lethality test failures for the wastewater systems in Canada that conducted at least one acute lethality test according to the standards of the Wastewater Systems Effluent Regulations. The map is available in both ESRI REST (to use with ARC GIS) and WMS (open source) formats. For more information about the individual reporting wastewater systems, datasets are available in either Excel or CSV formats.Data from Quebec and YukonAs of 2018, no acute lethality results from Quebec municipalities are available since an equivalency agreement is now in effect. As of 2015, no acute lethality test results for wastewater systems in the Yukon are available as an equivalency agreement in is effect.More information on the wastewater sector including the regulations, agreements, contacts and resource documents is available at: https://www.canada.ca/wastewater
