Ressources de Gestion des Terres

This document consists of two tables providing chemical and physical properties of soil, peat, overburden, spent sand and lean tar sand from Syncrude and Suncor.

Nearly 76% of all water used in the basin in 1981 was obtained from the river, 22% from major tributaries and other surface sources, and the remaining 2% from groundwater

Since the determination of the environmental impact of two major pollution sources on precipitation quality was a primary project objective, poor collection efficiencies did not satisfy the objective

Overview of the oil sands, current commercial developments, experimental work, an overview of Fort McMurray and the role of government agencies in development and management of oil sands.

The research needs are set out in two groups – (1) describing existing hydrologic resources and (2) development impact studies. Within these two groups listing is in descending order of priority.

To be realistic we must therefore accept the fact that some pollution will enter the atmosphere. The basic question to be answered is: "How much can reasonably be allowed?"

More emphasis is placed on field programs than on greenhouse studies, because of the nature of the problems involved. However, some topics can only be studied by laboratory methods for several years,

Alberta should regulate and control the Athabasca tar sands development for the socio-economic benefit of Albertans. Rate of development of 1 plant in every 4 years is consistent with present tecnolog

The result of this review was a plan for a five-year biophysical monitoring program to provide the necessary scientific and technical information upon which to base an effective regulatory approach.

Alberta is in a fortunate situation because most of its soils are underlain by calcareous bedrock and can, therefore, neutralize in-coming acids more efficiently than Canadian Shield areas
