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

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 Effect of Freezing and Thawing on the Dewatering of Oil Sands Sludges
Resource
Oil sands processing operations in northeastern Alberta generate 25 x 106 m3 of water-fines mixtures (sludge) per year. The fines settle in several weeks but will not consolidate to more than 35%...
The Evolution of Reclamation Practice – from Complex to Simple
