The proposed partnership between I. Spooner (applicant) and EXP (consultant) focuses on the application of**an Applied Paleolake Assessment (APA) approach to determining the impact of watershed development and**mining on water quality in water source supply lakes and reservoirs in Cape Breton Regional Municipality,**Canada. This partnership will focus on technology transfer to EXP using MacAskill's Reservoir, a water**supply reservoir near Sydney, Nova Scotia as the test site. In Spooner's lab at Acadia University the APA**method has been used to investigate water quality variability in lakes in Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM).**Spooner's lab has developed new and innovative applications of standard analytical tools (portable XRF, stable**isotopes) to rapidly distinguish between natural variability in lake water quality and conditions caused by**human activities**EXP is a Canadian-owned company that has offices throughout Maritime Canada. They provide**comprehensive services in all aspects of water infrastructure and have extensive experience working with Cape**Breton Regional Municipality (CBRM Water Supply and Treatment) on surface water reservoir concerns. EXP**would like to develop the expertise to employ the APA approach to address CBRM's needs. The APA approach**uses an integrated assessment of lake sediments, water chemistry, watershed characteristics and environmental**change to inform management decisions. EXP understands that lake impact assessments must be completed**rapidly and be understandable to managers and operators; APA has been recognized as a new, user friendly**method developed to meet this requirement. The APA method of lake assessment is compatible with CEAA**guidelines and industry requirements as it is cost-effective, time-efficient and readily accessible.

我和你之间的合作伙伴关系。Spooner（申请人）和EXP（顾问）专注于应用 ** 应用古湖泊评估（阿帕）方法，以确定流域开发和 ** 采矿对加拿大布雷东角地区市 ** 水源供应湖泊和水库水质的影响。这一伙伴关系将侧重于向EXP公司转让技术，该公司将新斯科舍省悉尼附近的一个供水水库MacAskill水库作为试验场。在斯普纳的实验室里，阿帕 ** 方法已被用于调查哈利法克斯地区市（HRM）湖泊的水质变化。Spooner的实验室开发了标准分析工具（便携式XRF，稳定 ** 同位素）的新的和创新的应用，以快速区分湖泊水质的自然变化和由 ** 人类活动引起的条件 **EXP是一家加拿大拥有的公司，在加拿大海事部设有办事处。他们在水基础设施的各个方面提供 ** 全面的服务，并在与Cape** 布雷东地区市政当局（CBRM供水和处理）合作解决地表水水库问题方面拥有丰富的经验。EXP** 希望发展专门知识，采用阿帕方法来满足CBRM的需求。阿帕方法 ** 使用湖泊沉积物、水化学、流域特征和环境变化的综合评估，为管理决策提供信息。EXP理解湖泊影响评估必须快速完成 **，并为管理人员和运营商所理解;阿帕已被公认为是一种新的、用户友好的 ** 方法，旨在满足这一要求。阿帕湖泊评估方法符合CEAA** 指南和行业要求，因为它具有成本效益，时间效率高，易于使用。
