The Alberta Gas Transmission Division of NOVA Corporation of Alberta has more than 14,000 km of pipeline rights-of-way to operate and maintain. Above ground facilities associated with the pipeline system include approximately 850 meter stations, 36 compressor stations, numerous valve sites and several office and shop facilities. Total vegetation control at above ground facilities is an attempt to eliminate all vegetation under and within the fenced areas. In the past, total vegetation control was accomplished through the use of "soil sterilants" such as Hyvar-XL and Calmix. With the discovery of migration of soil sterilants outside fenced areas, vegetation control has recently been attempted using non-residual products such as Roundup. Mechanical methods involve using mowers, weed-eaters or hand-picking. Reclamation problems associated with vegetation management in AGTD are directly related to the use of soil sterilants. Twenty-five above ground facilities have been monitored annually as a result of bromacil contamination. Two research projects were initiated a number of years ago to determine the best methods of bromacil dissipation in the field as well as the best methods of rehabilitating bromacil contaminated topsoils in the laboratory and greenhouse. The two methods of bromacil dissipation occurring in the field were leaching and microbial degradation. Recommendations for the rehabilitation and reclamation of soils contaminated by bromacil include the use of activated carbon, manure, wet- dry soil cycles, and plant seedlings to enhance adsorption, absorption, and degradation of bromacil.
