	Wabigoon River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Wabigoon River is a river in northwesten Ontario which flows from Wabigoon Lake at Dryden, Ontario to join the English River.
		This material entered the food chain in the Wabigoon-English River system and accumulated in fish which were a major part of the diet for First Nations people on reserves at Grassy Narrows and Whitedog.
		This contamination is believed to have caused increased incidence of neurological problems and birth defects among these people and also resulted in the closure of a commercial fishery and a fishing lodge in the area.

	Superior craton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The English River-Winnipeg River boundary separates dominantly metasedimentary rocks of the English River subprovince from mainly metaplutonic rocks of the Winnipeg River subprovince to the south.
		Metamorphic conditions in the English River range from middle amphibolite facies near the margins, to low-pressure granulite facies, coinciding with widespread generation of migmatite and diatexite at 2.691 Ga. The main tectonothermal event was followed by a second thermal pulse at 2.669 Ga, intrusion of ca.
		The Eastern Wabigoon subprovince is a composite terrane with greenstone belts and intervening granitoid plutons that show variable Mesoarchean (Winnipeg River and Marmion) and oceanic affinity.

	Wabigoon Lake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wabigoon lake is located in Northwestern Ontario and is the headwater for the Wabigoon river.
		A dam built to provide power for the early pulp and paper company raised the original level of the lake by several feet and its current mean depth is 19ft.
		Wabigoon is named from Ojibwa words meaning "muddy waters" because of its brown color.

		In 1969, contaminants in fish became a concern in Manitoba with the discovery of elevated mercury residues in fish from the English-Wabigoon River System in Ontario and in fish from the south basin of Lake Winnipeg.
		Increased mercury levels were discovered in fish from lakes flooded by the Churchill River hydroelectric diversion and impoundment in northern Manitoba during the late 1970s and early 1980s.
		During the late 1970s, the Government of Manitoba began collecting samples of fish tissue from some of the major river systems in southern Manitoba to determine if there was a problem with the accumulation of metals or persistent chemical residues in fish flesh.

		Regular commercial steamboat service was established on Lake Wabigoon in the 1880's, based in the village of Wabigoon which was favourably located with respect to Upper Manitou Lake, a particularly active exploration area.
		In 1895, Gold Rock would have numbered several hundred inhabitants, Wabigoon was experiencing a building boom, Eagle River was the established commercial centre in the area, and all there was at Dryden was 'Barclay Tank', a steamboat dock, and a low dam.
		By the 60s, population growth east of Dryden especially along Wabigoon Lake resulted in a need for local government, and the area was incorporated as a municipality.

		In 1970, mercury contamination from a Dryden paper mill was discovered in the English-Wabigoon River system, leading to closure of the commercial fishery and some tourism related businesses.
		In 1986, the Government of Canada's Grassy Narrows and Islington Indian Bands Mercury Pollution Claims Settlement Act and the Government of Ontario's English and Wabigoon River Systems Mercury Contamination Settlement Agreement Act, facilitated the creation of the Mercury Disability Fund (MDF) and the Mercury Disability Board (the Board), which is based in Kenora, Ontario.
		On September 4, 2003, then-Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, the Honourable Robert D. Nault, met with Grassy Narrows First Nation officials in Ottawa, and agreed to provide funding (approximately $8,900) to support a retreat held in Winnipeg, Manitoba on January 14-16, 2004 to discuss the Board's work and mandate.

		Gilding of base metals was especially dangerous, as it involved painting on a liquid mixture of one part of gold to ten parts of mercury, and then heating to evaporate away all the mercury, leaving a thin layer of gold behind.
		Both sodium hydroxide and chlorine are used in large amounts in bleaching paper, and this was the reason that a chlor-alkali plant was established in Dryden.
		It was mercury from that chlor-alkali plant which polluted the Wabigoon River system and disrupted the lives of the White Dog and Grassy Narrows Indian bands.

		The Seine River conglomerates are located in a wedge between these two shear zones west of their intersection.
		Poulsen (1986) interpreted the Seine River conglomerates to have formed syn-kinematically during transpression, possibly in structures similar to pull-apart basins.
		This preliminary structural work made it clear that the Wabigoon- Quetico subprovince boundary is not merely a discrete suture between two tectonic microplates, but is instead a complex network of shear zones which together accommodated oblique collision.

		On this river there are also dangerous rapids; the land upon its banks is low, and the beach sandy.
		At the end of the carrying place is a river called Cark Cark Seepi, or Crows' River, which runs with a strong current for about thirty miles, from Neeshshemaince Sakiegan, or the Lake of the Two Sisters; so called from the meeting of two currents, which from one grand discharge into the lake.
		At the end is a carrying place about a quarter of a mile long that leads to a remarkably narrow river, which runs with a strong current for about fifty leagues; the land on each side being very high, makes the navigation dark.

		The Winnipeg River terrane is a collective term used to describe the plutonic domain exposed north and east of the western Wabigoon subprovince.
		A period of continental arc magmatism in the Winnipeg River subprovince (2.72-2.70 Ga; Corfu, 1988; 1996; Whalen et al., 2002; Melnyk et al., 2005) is attributed to north- and eastward subduction of oceanic rocks (Sanborn-Barrie and Skulski, 2005) followed by 2.708-2.701 Ga D1 deformation.
		The eastern Wabigoon subprovince is a composite terrane with greenstone belts and intervening granitoid plutons that show variable Mesoarchean (Winnipeg River and Marmion) and oceanic affinity (Stott and Davis, 1999; Tomlinson et al., 2000; Stott et al., 2002).

		There are several lakes hooked together in this system which are connected to the Wabigoon River and consists of nearly 50000 acres of water.
		The River is dammed at the town of Dryden by the paper mill.
		The lakes tend to be on the shallow side (35 feet would be deep) and the bottom tends to be more mud with a darker water color and lots of weed cover in season.

	Welcome to the City of Dryden in Northwest Ontario, Canada
		As the water levels on Lake Wabigoon and connecting lakes and rivers was too low for good steamboat travel, it was decided to build a dam at the first falls on the Wabigoon River, at the foot of Duke Street.

		A pump house was built on the river at the west end of Arthur Street and pipes laid down Arthur to the school.

		Their economy was based on fishing, hunting, gathering, trapping, the harvesting of wild rice and some horticulture, until the late 18th century when they became involved in the fur trade with the Hudson's Bay Company.
		The Wabigoon Lake reserve was first laid out in 1884 and was confirmed by the Ontario government in 1915.
		At one time Wabigoon included members of what is now the Eagle Lake First Nation; however, a number of years ago, those people inhabiting the western portion of the Wabigoon reserve moved to the present site of the Eagle Lake reserve.

		On the way, we passed the Wabigoon River, contaminated with mercury in the 1960's from a pulp and paper mill upstream.
		The mercury is in the river system, the food chain, and in human bodies, and is just as prevalent now as when it was first dumped decades ago.
		Apparently, the mercury is most concentrated near the bottom of the channel where the bottom feeders (Crayfish and Sturgeon) are then eaten by the predator fish (Northern Pike and Small Mouth Bass) who are consumed by larger animal predators and scavengers, who are then hunted and eaten by the people of the surrounding areas.

		Dzida, a tall, fit forester who looks like he could wield a chain saw as well as a policy manual, sits in a small office on the banks of the Wabigoon River, across the road from the mill.
		For the Wabigoon nursery, the mill also allows its silviculture specialists to spend as much time as the band wants coaching Brown and his people on the art of growing seedlings.
