This study examined the feasibility of sequestering mining by-products, a method that has received much attention in recent years. In particular, it examined the suitability of using the mining by-product consolidated tailings as sediment for constructed wetlands. The study isolates the effect of tailings associated water from the effect of consolidated tailings sediment on benthic macroinvertebrate population health. Sediments from reference and opportunistic wetlands were transplanted with sediment from a constructed wetland layered with 4 metres of consolidated tailings. The effects of macrophyte presence in these plots will be examined and contrasted with macroinvertebrates to determine a possible relationship</style></abstract><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fort McMurray</style></custom2><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">OSEMB</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
