1980
The interaction between the turbulent wake, created by a tailings pond dike and the low level emissions at the Syncrude Tar Sands Plant has been investigated using wind tunnel model simulation. At the large Reynolds numbers experienced by model and full-scale dike the flow remains attached to the...

Maddukuri, C.S., Slawson, P.R., Davidson, G.A.
The plume rise, spread and supporting meterological and source data given in Slawson et al (1978) were further analyzed in order to provide a more suitable data set upon which a site-tuned plume dispersion model could be developed. This dispersion model was considered to consist of a buoyant...

Ecological bench-marking and biomonitoring for detection of airborne pollutant effects on vegetation and soils
Download1980
Biomonitoring plots established in 1976 and 1977 were revisited in 1979 and quantified with respect to their vascular plant community of the lower stratum, lichen community of black spruce branches, and both soil and plant element contents. There was no measurable change in any of the above...

Perkins, S., Zuidhof, Martin J., Feddes, John J. R., Robinson, Frank E.
Four environmental chambers housing either 75 (5.5 birds/m\") or 37 turkeys (2.8 birds/m ) were used to study the impact of stocking density on air quality, bird health, and performance under similar per bird ventilation rates (3 L/s per bird). Stocking density had little effect on air quality or...

Evaluation of Mask and Mask Material Suitability for COVID-19 Transmission Protection and Influence of Face Velocity and Exhaled Breath Condensate on Filtration Efficiency
DownloadSpring 2022
Facemask use has been a key public health measure in response to the SARS CoV-2 pandemic; they are used to reduce airborne transmission of the disease amongst the public. The facemasks used by the public are non-medical in nature and therefore are not regulated like medical masks. Cloth masks,...

This report examines the effect of convective turbulence on the dispersion of pollutants emitted from tall stacks in the AOSERP area. As an introduction to this subject the structure of the convective boundary layer is described. Recent models to account for the effects of convection on plume...

1979
On three occasions during the period May-October, 1978, R.L.& L. Environmental Services Ltd. conducted fish sampling in the Beaver Creek Diversion System. These efforts were oriented towards providing an inventory of postdiversion fish populations. The study was designed not only to update the...

Reeves, B.O.K., McCullough, E.J.
An Historical Resources Impact Assessment was undertaken of Syncrude Canada Ltd.'s Lease No. 17 in the area between the Beaver and MacKay Rivers. This assessment was designed to locate and assess prehistoric and historic sites which might be present. Three prehistoric sites were recorded, each...

Human system Alberta oil sands environmental research program 1975-1980: An integration and synthesis of research results
Download1983
Commercial exploitation of the Athabasca oil sands deposit had transformed Fort McMurray between 1961 and 1980, from a a small and remote northern community of 1200 people into Alberta's eighth largest city with 27 000 residents. This research project was to describe, ananlyse, and interpret the...
