In this paper, we review the development of Phase II Assessments and Phase III Remediation science over the last thirty years: what aspects have improved, and what aspects have not improved.

Benefits of research cooperation include reduced costs, shared expertise, ease of site access and a commitment by both parties to implementation of the results.

This 2 volume report contains 86 papers presented at an international reclamation conference

Recommendations for rehabilitation and reclamation of soils contaminated by bromacil include use of activated carbon, manure, wet- dry soil cycles, and plant seedlings to enhance adsorption, and plant

The study was commissioned to establish the scientific rationale for existing wastewater discharge legislation for Alberta East Slopes coal mines.

Document provides an evaluation of currently available rainfall runoff sediment production methodologies, identifies key parameters, and outlines field programs to gather data for model calibration

Several foothills/mountain coal mine waste dumps were selected for the purpose of evaluating the effects of final configuration on the amount of surface erosion occurring on those dump surfaces

Although the capability currently exists to reclaim disturbed areas as wildlife habitat, no guidelines have been developed for evaluating success of wildlife habitat reclamation efforts

This book is written to help assess how effectively we have, or are, conserving our land base and providing the stewardship required to pass our legacy on to our progeny.

The development of integrated geomatics and remote sensing technologies for environmental management holds promise to meet economic diversification and effective environmental management.

Associated with the roots of silver-berry and buffalo-berry are two symbionts the N2-fixing actinomycete, Frankia, and the vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi.

The overall objectives of these studies were to characterize the mycorrhizal status of jack pine and green alder which are prime candidates as reclamation species for oil sand tailings

data were used to define reasonable expectations of early growth performance under prevailing environmental conditions, as a basis for evaluating the success of reforestation following coal mining

Differential subsidence of reclaimed surfaces has been demonstrated to create water—holding depressions that disrupt farming operations and to cause pavement distress in roads crossing reclaimed areas

The manual includes information on forty-four grasses, fourteen forbs and thirty-five trees and shrubs. The summary, presented in tabular form, provides, for key reclamation parameters,

Slightly more invasion occurred on oil sands tailings sand sites seeded to native grasses and legumes, but much more invasion occurred on non-seeded sites

Topsoil storage does not appear to have any severe and long term effect on topsoil quality. Chemical changes can be rectified with the judicious use of chemical fertilizers or manure. Physical changes

Important considerations in reclamation planning and methods for reclamation are described for: agriculture, forestry, wildlife habitat, fish habitat, recreation, and residential/industrial use

Treatment plots were established on the Syncrude mine site to test the effect of a variety of mixtures of peat, mineral overburden, and tailings sand on establishment of trees and shrubs
