Preliminary compatibility studies of G.C.O.S. sand tailings pond water with Athabasca River
Download1968
Alberta Health, Environmental Health Services Division
On May 30, 1968 G.C.O.S requested permission to discharge 110 x 106 ft3 of effluent from the sands tailings pond at the Fort McMurray site into the Athabasca River during periods of high river flow. G.C.O.S. outlined the events which made this request necessary in order that an adequate base be...

Athabasca tar sands study: Interim report on environmental constraints and research priorities for mining/hot water extraction technology
Download1972
Recommendations: 1. Determine the location and capacity of natural drainage basins (if any) within the mineable area which could be dedicated to the storage of tailings without detriment to the environment. 2. In future the storage of tailings in dyked ponds on the banks of the Athabasca River...
