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...
Successful Landscape Manipulation in the Urban Fringe - From a Gravel Pit to a Lake
Resource
Reclamation in the 1990s is contingent upon whatever we, as professionals, learn from our reclamation experience in the 1970s and 1980s and our abilities to improve on future reclamation efforts. We...
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...
Symposium Summary
Resource
What is successful reclamation? Government and industry officials have agreed that successful reclamation is to restore land to former or equivalent capability. For agriculture or forestry this would...
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 Biophysical Climate Mitigation Potential of Boreal Peatlands During the Growing Season
Resource
Peatlands and forests cover large areas of the boreal biome and are critical for global climate regulation. They also regulate regional climate through heat and water vapour exchange with the...
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 Effects of Black Spruce Fuel Management on Surface Fuel Condition and Peat Burn Severity in an Experimental Fire
Resource
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
The Essential Carbon Service Provided by Northern Peatlands
Resource
Northern peatlands have cooled the global climate by accumulating large quantities of soil carbon (C) over thousands of years. Maintaining the C sink function of these peatlands and their immense long...
The Evolution of Reclamation Practice – from Complex to Simple
Resource
Reclamation practice is a function of public will expressed through either company policy or regulatory requirement and technical capability. Many of the contradictions and conflicts which appear in...
The Hydrochemical Evolution of a Constructed Peatland in a Post-mining Landscape Six Years After Construction
Resource
Study Focus: Six years of hydrochemical data (2013 – 2018) from the Sandhill Fen Watershed (SFW), a 52-ha upland-peatland catchment that was built upon highly saline soft tailings, were used to...
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 Reclamation and Management of Garbage Dumps and Gravel Pits in Alberta
Resource
Through the development of two Department of Environment programs; namely, the Regional Landfill Program and the H.S.T.F. Land Reclamation Program and the enactment of the Sand and Gravel regulations...
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...
