Akena, A. M.

This report documents locations of Athabasca Oil Sands area water quality sampling sites; sampling, analytical and quality control methods used; the volume and availability of assembled data; and an extensive appraisal of the quality of the data base. The quality control measures taken proved to...

Wilson, D.J.

The wind tunnel simulation of atmospheric dispersion on the Syncrude plant site encompassed four different problem areas: low level sources within the plant itself, the main stack plume, peak levels of time varying concentration, and the effect of wind shear on plume rise. For all of these...

Gill, D.

During the periods 27 January, 3-6 February and 10-13 February 1977, a preliminary survey was conducted on Syncrude Lease 17 to gain the following information on wintering birds: species presence during mid winter; abundance of each species within representative habitats; and numbers of birds...
