A study of potential ice fog and low temperature water fog occurrence at Mildred Lake, Alberta
Download1976
In early 1976 a literature review of low temperature fog was carried out so that the potential for this fog type in the vicinity of the Syncrude synthetic crude oil complex could be assessed. Moreover, a site visit under suitable synoptic meteorological conditions was made in early March 1976 to...

Download1976
The Scientific Enquiry Committee was appointed by the Hon. D.J. Russell, Minister of the Environment, to investigate factors associated with the discharge of effluents from the Great Canadian Oil Sands (GCOS) tailings pond dyke to the Athabasca River. The terms of reference of the Enquiry were to...

A preliminary investigation into the magnitude of fog occurrence and associated problems in the oil sands area
Download1976
Croft, B. R., Lamb, A., Dawson, R. N.
Water and ice fogs were investigated for the existing situation (GCOS) and a potential situation (GCOS, Syncrude, plus three more plants). Based on meteorological and historical fog data, Fort McMurray Airport experiences 4 to 5 days with ice fog and 18 total days with fog per year. There is...

Graveland, D. N., McCoy, D. A., Regier, H. F.
Physical and chemical analyses of spent sand indicate that this material is very infertile. The spent sand samples analysed had an average pH of 7.2 and low Na content indicating that there was no residual problem resulting from the NaOH used in the oil production process. Freshly processed...

A preliminary vegetation survey of the Alberta oil sands environmental research program study area
Download1976
Limited time and access constraints restricted this preliminary vegetation survey to Townships 85-103, Ranges 6-12, west of the 4th meridian. This area centres on sites of maximum development north of Fort McMurray (i .e. the GCOS and Sync rude leases). Eighty-four stands were chosen as...

Olson, S. L., Humphries, R. G., Barge, B. L.
The feasibility of a weather radar to map precipitation in the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program (AOSERP) study area near Fort McMurray, Alberta was investigated. Consultations with various groups and agencies associated with AOSERP revealed that representative precipitation data...

Birdsall, D.A., Sharp, P.L., Dyke, G.R.,
Between 26 August and 30 October 1974, a reflector device was tested as a deterrent to birds at a small tailings pond (Lower Camp Tailings Pond) located on Syncrude's lease 17, approximately 40 km (25 mi) north of Fort McMurray, Alberta. This tailings pond provided a situation analogous (though...
