OIl Sands Sludge Dewatering by Freeze-Thaw and Evapotranspiration
Resource
The experiments detailed in this report show that it was possible to increase the solids content of sludge to 50% solids by adding three parts sand (tailings sand) to one part sludge.
Oil Sands Soil Reconstruction Project Five Year Summary
Resource
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
Oil Sands Tailings Capping Study
Resource
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
Oil Sands Tailings Preliminary Ecological Risk Assessment
Resource
Conceptual and analytical framework for quantifying risks to terrestrial wildlife that might be exposed to solid-phase materials potentially associated with oil sands reclamation
Organic Materials as Soil Amendments in Reclamation: A Review of the Literature
Resource
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
Paleolimnological Assessment of Past Hydro-ecological Variation at a Shallow Hardwater Lake in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region Before Potential Onset of Industrial Development
Resource
Effective environmental monitoring requires knowledge of inherent natural variation. In the absence of pre-development monitoring of aquatic ecosystems, paleolimnological approaches have been...
Partitioning Forest-Floor Respiration into Source Based Emissions in a Boreal Forested Bog: Response to Experimental Drought
Resource
Northern peatlands store globally significant amounts of soil carbon that could be released to the atmosphere under drier conditions induced by climate change. We measured forest floor respiration (R...
Petroleum Exploration Increases Methane Emissions from Northern Peatlands
Resource
Peatlands are globally significant sources of atmospheric methane (CH4). In the northern hemisphere, extensive geologic exploration activities have occurred to map petroleum deposits. In peatlands...
Physical and Hydrological Characteristics of Ponds in Reclaimed Upland Landscape Settings and Their Impact on Agriculture Capability
Resource
In 1985, a one hectare pond developed in the upland reclaimed landscape at Vesta Mine in an area where extensive ponding had not previously been observed. Because of the thickness of the spoil, about...
Plains Hydrology and Reclamation Project: Summary Report
Resource
The first phase of the study, which was completed in 1984, included characterization and instrumentation of two study areas: the Battle River study area, which included Diplomat, Vesta and Paintearth...
Potential Contamination of Shallow Aquifers by Surface Mining of Coal
Resource
This is one of a series of reports that presents the findings of the Plains Hydrology and Reclamation Project (PHRP), an interdisciplinary study that focuses primarily on hydrologic aspects of the...
Preferential Recharge in a Reclaimed Tailings Sand Upland: Implications on Solute Flushing
Resource
Given the potential for moisture limited conditions due to the sub-humid regional climate, ensuring sufficient water availability in these landscapes is a principal concern. This research demonstrates...
Proceedings: Workshop On Native Shrubs in Reclamation
Resource
The workshop recorded in these proceedings was organized as the first step in developing a Native Shrub Research Program for reclamation.
Proceedings: Workshop on Reconstruction of Forest Soils in Reclamation
Resource
The workshop format was chosen as a means of focussing the attentions of individuals with a wide range of expertise on the specific problem of reconstructing forest soils in reclamation
Propagation Study: Use of Trees and Shrubs for Oil Sand Reclamation
Resource
Purpose was: to obtain information on propagation of certain native and exotic woody plants; synthesize the information at the species level by method of propagation; and recommend further studies
