Research plots were constructed on the Syncrude mine site at Mildred Lake to test effect of thickness and quality of replaced soil over tailings sand on the performance of trees and shrubs

This report is a condensed version of two reports on the chemistry of a variety of oil sands substrates from Syncrude, Suncor, OSLO and SolvEx.

This document provides the full list of reports published by the Reclamation Research Technical Advisory Committee from 1979 to 1994

Summary of a survey to determine the reclamation research needs of organizations/industries in Alberta that are involved with industrial disturbances and to prioritize research needs.

To assess climatic and soil conditions under which salts will move out of the root zone in a soil disturbed by a pipeline and to determine the rate at which salts will move in disturbed soils.

4-year project to collect, multiply, evaluate, and select native legume species for inclusion in a native seed mixture being developed at AEC for reclamation in the mountains and foothills

Part 2 presents typical data and interpretations for each soil series in Alberta. The interpretations were made by applying the guidelines in Part 1, and checking the results against experience

Part 1 of this manual is a background and explanatory section that describes the terminology used in soil surveys and presents the assumptions and conventions upon which the interpretations are based

Organic amendments reviewed included animal manures, crop residues, peat, wood waste, sewage sludge, municipal yard waste, humates, vermicomposts and spent mushroom compost. The effect of these organi

A catalogue containing 22 technologies for reducing the environmental impact of fine tailings derived from oil sand processing has been assembled
