Review of the Scientific Basis of Water Quality Criteria for the East Slope Foothills of Alberta
Download1987
Beak Associates Consulting Ltd.
The study was commissioned to establish the scientific rationale for existing wastewater discharge legislation for Alberta East Slopes coal mines. Three water quality parameters - total suspended solids, pH and total iron - and four design flow parameters - applicability of the dam and canal...
