Kilgour Canada’s Oil Sands Innovation Alliance (COSIA), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Alberta Environment and Parks (AEP), Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada Kilgour & Associates, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Abstract: Control charting is a simple technique to identify change and is well suited for use in water quality programs. Control charts accounting for covariation associated with discharge and in some cases time were used to explore example and representative variables routinely measured in the Athabasca River near the oil sands area for indications of change. The explored variables include 5 major ions (chloride, sodium, sulfate, calcium, magnesium), 5 total metals (aluminum, iron, thallium, molybdenum, vanadium), and total suspended solids at two sites straddling the developments north of Fort McMurray. Regression equations developed from reference data (1988–2009) were used to
