Syncrude's Reclamation Research Program
Resource
The objective of Syncrude's land reclamation research program is to identify and develop cost-effective land reclamation strategies and techniques to achieve acceptable reclamation for all...
A Case Study of Materials and Techniques Used in the Rehabilitation of a Pit and a Quarry in Southern Ontario
Resource
Many after-uses of aggregate extraction land do exist: forestry, agriculture, recreation, nature reserves, housing and waste disposal sites. Attempts at reclaiming this land for alternate uses has...
Agricultural Soil Quality Criteria for Canada
Resource
The concept of soil quality has evolved from an expression of productivity to an assessment of environmental sustainability. It now includes elements of health and time as well as biological...
Agronomic Properties and Reclamation Possibilities for Surface Materials on Syncrude Lease #17
Resource
Reclamation planning for tar sands mining and extraction operation differs greatly from that used in Alberta foothills and plains coal mines. One of the main differences is that the bulk of the...
Amelioration and Revegetation of Smelter Contaminated Soils in the Coeur D'Alene Mining District of Northern Idaho
Resource
Results of two experiments, one greenhouse project and one field study, indicate that high heavy metal concentrations in smelter-contaminated soils and in tree seedlings grown thereon, increase...
An Evaluation of the Influence of Grass/Legume Mixtures on Tree Species at the Judy Creek Test Mine
Resource
The influence of competition of agronomic mixtures on out planted lodgepole pine and white spruce was investigated on study plots at the Judy Creek Test Mine from 1979 to 1983. Two agronomic seed...
An Overview of Pipelining
Resource
As an overview to pipelining in Alberta, prior to 1976 there was no requirement for operators to conserve topsoil or ensure growth capability. However, with the passing of Alberta Regulation 207/76...
Applications and Costs of Wildlife Habitat Reclamation
Resource
The costs and methods of wildlife habitat reclamation are discussed for three examples. The first example, the Cascade Landfill site in Banff National Park, illustrates the approach and costs of...
Bibliography of On-line Accessible Alberta Chapter, CLRA Conference Papers
Resource
This is a compilation of on-line accessible papers from the 1982, 1985 and 1986 conferences of the Alberta Chapter, Canadian Land Reclamation Association. This list will be updated periodically.
Bibliography of On-line Accessible CLRA National Conference Papers
Resource
This is a compilation of on-line accessible papers from the 1977, 1992, 2010, 2013 and 2019 national conferences of the Canadian Land Reclamation Association. Some of the conferences were held jointly...
Biochar Application for Revegetation Purposes in Northern Saskatchewan
Resource
Our research was focused on biochar application for revegetation purposes under northern Saskatchewan conditions. The Gunnar Mine Site, located on the northern shore of the Athabasca Lake, was used as...
Bioengineering Techniques for Revegetation of Riparian Areas at the Colomac Mine, NWT
Resource
Factors such as nutrient poor soils, harsh climate, remote locations, and high costs make revegetating disturbed areas in northern environments a challenge. We present a case study where novel...
Bioengineering. The Use of Plant Biomass to Stabilize and Reclaim Highly Disturbed Sites
Resource
The bioengineering concept of reclamation developed in Europe is now becoming well established internationally with successful projects in Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Rhodesia, South Africa, Venezuela...
Biological Soil Crusts and Native Species for Northern Mine Site Restoration
Resource
The nitrogen cycle is highly sensitive to pollutants and restoration of this biogeochemical pathway is essential to ensure long-term sustainable ecosystems. In a greenhouse trial, the growth and...
Brine Spillage in the Oil Industry: The Natural Recovery of an Area Affected by a Salt Water Spill near Swan Hills, Alberta
Resource
Salt spills are liable to become more prevalent in the oil producing regions of Alberta as the volume of brine relative to crude oil increases with the depletion of the older oil-fields. High...
Challenges in Co-operative Reclamation Research
Resource
There may be different interpretations of cooperative reclamation research, so it is appropriate to explain how the term will be used in subsequent discussions. The basic concept is to broaden the...
Coal Mine Spoils and Their Revegetation Patterns in Central Alberta
Resource
The study involved an examination of the vegetation and spoils on five mine locations in the central Parkland of Alberta. These five locations represented different spoil types, and methods of mining...
Coal Mining in the Green Area
Resource
In regard to reclamation, the predisturbance inventories carried out as a function of the EIA or D&R Approval, dictate to a large extent the vegetation cover or land uses that will be established. As...
Combined Overburden Revegetation and Wastewater Disposal in the Southern Alberta Foothills
Resource
The construction of a wastewater evaporation lagoon at the Quirk Creek Gas Plant a number of years ago resulted in the creation of a six acre area of overburden consisting of heavy clay, gravel and...
