The monitoring programs are in response to potential impacts of a trans- 

 boundary nature resulting from Sask Power' s coal-fired thermal generating 

 station and ancillary operations near Coronach, Saskatchewan. Monitoring 

 is conducted in Canada and the United States at or near the International 

 Boundary for quantity and quality of both surface and ground water and 

 for air quality. Participants from both countries, including Federal, 

 Provincial, and State agencies, are involved in monitoring. 



The Committee submits an annual report to Governments that summarizes the 

 monitoring results, evaluates apparent trends, and compares data to 

 objectives or standards recommended by the IJC or to relevant Federal, 

 State, or Provincial standards. The Committee is also responsible for 

 drawing to the attention of Governments definitive changes in monitored 

 parameters which may require immediate attention. Reports submitted to 

 the Governments normally cover activities of the preceding year. Be- 

 cause 1990 is the tenth year of Committee involvement, this report in- 

 cludes a compilation of data for the period of 1981-90.
