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...
