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...

Athabasca tar sands development environmental impact statement matrix: Physical & chemical characteristics
Download1973
Alberta Environment, Standards and Approvals Division
The environmental impact assessment matrix is a simple way of summarizing which impacts are considered of greatest significance. It is a checklist or reminder of the full range of actions and impacts and is aimed at separating, as far as possible, factual information on magnitude of each type...

Some methods for treating tar sands tailings: Part 1 - laboratory application of CO2 process and related testing of type "X" treatment
Download1973
This report concerns some methods whereby the liquid waste from plants using the Clark hot water process to extract bitumen from tar sands is rendered clean. This report describes some novel experiments on liquid tailings from the G. C. O. S. plant, which may lead to an economically feasible...
