Remediation in Northern Climates: How Can Petroleum Hydrocarbon Remediation be Assessed in Soils Under Seasonal Freeze-thaw Conditions?
Resource
Accurate assessment for bioremediation feasibility plays a critical role in developing cost-effective and efficient remediation strategies adapted to northern climates, where warm seasons are short...
Remote Sensing in Vegetation Monitoring: More Than Just a Pretty Picture
Resource
Monitoring of reclaimed sites is a complex, interdisciplinary undertaking, especially in large, disturbed areas with difficult access. In that context, remote sensing is a unique and valuable tool...
Restoration Planning and Application of Ecological Succession Principles: United Keno Hill Mine Case Study
Resource
Restoration of post mining disturbed sites within the boreal sub-alpine ecological communities of the Yukon has varied levels of success. Employing ecological succession principles to further the...
Results of Vegetation Survey as a Part of Neutralizing Lime Sludge Valorization Assessment
Resource
The use of the lime neutralization process is a common technique to treat acid mine drainage (AMD) generated by sulphidic mine wastes. The AMD-contaminated water collected on the mine site is...
Revegetation of Coal Mined Lands in the United States – Permitting and Success Standard Requirements at the Federal Level
Resource
The resource information needs of land use, soil handling and revegetation in the US are integral to the reclamation planning and permitting requirements of Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act...
Selective Handling Costs for Strip Mining Reclamation
Resource
One of the major tasks facing the coal mining industry today is dealing with environmental concerns. The requirement of selectively handling topsoil and subsoil for reclaiming plains strip mines is...
Soil: The Environmental Integrator
Resource
Soil is defined in terms of dynamic circulation patterns of water, air and minerals driven by solar energy. The soil is the reactor and exchanger of energy and matter and, as such, is the terrestrial...
Subsurface Water Chemistry in Mined Land Reclamation; Key to Development of a Productive Post-mining Landscape
Resource
In reconstructing the landscape during reclamation the sequence and methods of placement of overburden material determine the post-mining subsurface-water chemistry. The type of material at various...
Surface Reclamation Situations and Practices on Coal Exploration and Surface Mine Sites at Sparwood, B.C.
Resource
Kaiser Resources Ltd. owns and operates a 5 million ton per year open pit and hydraulic coal mine near Sparwood in Southeastern British Columbia. Since 1969, Kaiser has maintained a field scale...
Sustaining Forest Productivity Through Soil Quality Standards: A Coordinated U.S. Effort
Resource
Along with water and air, soil is the most fundamental of resources. This unconsolidated skin of the earth is the source from which many other resources and our most valued commodities flow. And along...
Systems Inventory of Surficial Disturbance, Peace River Coal Block, B.C.
Resource
The Peace River Coal Block in B.C. extends a distance of 150 miles from the Williston reservoir to the Alberta border. Approximately seven hundred and fifty Coal Licences are involved, each one mile...
The Development and Reclamation Review Process
Resource
The Development and Reclamation Review process, as it currently operates, is presented and discussed with the aid of a flow chart. Suggestions are made to improve and expedite the process with...
The Distribution of Nutrients and Organic Matter in Native Mountain Grasslands and Reclaimed Coal-mined Areas in Southeastern B.C.
Resource
The study's purpose is to assess the nutrient self-sufficiency of five-year-old reclaimed areas in montane and subalpine environments. Adjacent, undisturbed native grasslands were also studied for...
The Influence of Uranium Mine Tailings on Tree Growth at Elliot Lake, Ontario
Resource
A four year study has been carried out to determine the ability of coniferous trees to aid in the reclamation of uranium tailings at Elliot Lake. Five species were planted: white cedar, white spruce...
The Interaction of Groundwater and Surface Materials in Mine Reclamation
Resource
Ground water conditions are frequently overlooked when placing surface materials in a mine reclamation scheme. The purpose of this paper is to outline the interaction between the surface materials and...
The Selection and Utilization of Native Grasses for Reclamation in the Rock Mountains of Alberta
Resource
Native grass species have adapted to the prevailing climatic and soil conditions of Alberta's Rocky Mountains through many years of natural selection. It is generally accepted that disturbed areas in...
