  • Cover and Final Landform Design for the B-Zone Waste Rock Pile at Rabbit Lake Mine
    Cover and final landform design for the B-zone waste rock pile at Rabbit Lake Mine Brian Ayres1, Pat Landine2, Les Adrian2, Dave Christensen1, Mike O’Kane1 1O’Kane Consultants Inc., Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada 2Cameco Corporation, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada Abstract. A detailed study was undertaken to evaluate various cover system and final landform designs for the B-zone waste rock pile at Rabbit Lake Mine in Can- ada. Several tasks were completed including physical and hydraulic characteriza- tion of the waste and potential cover materials and numerical modelling to exam- ine erosion and slope stability. Soil-atmosphere numeric simulations were conducted to predict net infiltration and oxygen ingress rates through several cover system alternatives. A seepage numerical modelling programme was com- pleted to predict current and future seepage rates from the base of the pile for al- ternate cover system designs. Several final landform alternatives were developed for the pile along with a preliminary design for a surface water management sys- tem. The potential impact of various physical, chemical, and biological processes on the sustainable performance of the final landform was also considered. This paper provides an overview of the investigations completed towards the develop- ment of a cover system and final landform design for the B-zone waste rock pile. Introduction Rabbit Lake Mine, owned and operated by Cameco Corporation, began operation in 1975, and is the longest operating uranium production facility in Saskatchewan, Canada. The operation is located 700 km north of Saskatoon (Fig. 1). Historic and current operations at this site include four open pits, one underground mine, sev- eral mine waste storage facilities, and a mill.

    Late Cambrian hard substrate communities from Montana/ Wyoming: the oldest known hardground encrusters CARLTON E. BREIT, W. DAVID LIDDELL AND KRAIG L. DERSTLER Brett. Carlton E., Liddell, W. David & Derstler, Kraig L. 1983 10 IS: Late Cambrian hard substrate I JETHAIA communities from MontandWyoming: the oldest known hardground encrustcrs. Lethaia, Vol. 16, pp. 281-289. Oslo. ISSN 0024-1164. Hardground surfaces from the Late Cambrian Snowy Range Formation in MontanalWyoming are the oldest known non-reefal hard substrates exhibiting encrusting fossils. These surfaces range in age from Early Franconian to early Trempealeauan. Hardgrounds were developed on slightly hummocky to planar, truncated surfaces of glauconite-rich, carbonate, flat pebble conglomerates, which were deposited during episodes of storm scouring in shallow subtidal environments of the Montana/Wyoming shelf. Snowy Range hardgrounds are encrusted by a low diversity assemblage of fossils dominated by simple discoidal holdfasts of pelmatozoans, probably crinoids, and including small conical spongiomorph algae? and probable stromatolites. Macroborings (e.g. Trypanites) are notably absent from all hardground surfaces, although sharp-walled, vertical, cylindrical holes (borings?) occur in micrite clasts imbedded in certain flat pebble conglomerates. No evidence of faunal succession or microecologic partitioning of irregular surfaces was observed on these Cambrian hardgrounds. 0 Hardgrounds, epibionts, macrobor- ings, pelmatozoan echinoderms, paleoecology, Cambrian, MontanaiWyoming.

  • Sediment Exchanges Along the Coastal Margin of the Moray Firth, Eastern Scotland
    Journal ofthe Geological Society, London, Vol. 144, 1987, pp. 179-185, 8 figs., 2 tables. Printed in Northern Ireland Sediment exchanges along the coastal margin of the Moray Firth, Eastern Scotland G. REID' & J. McMANUS Department of Geology, The University, Dundee, Scotland 1 Present address: Department of Oceanography, University College of North Wales, Menai Bridge, Gwynedd LL.59 5EY, UK Abstrart: The Moray Firthis the largest of only three major coastal embayments on the East Coastof Scotland. The relationships between the offshore, coastal margin and fluvial sediments are examined in terms of processes and deposits. These suggest that the large post-glacial accretions of sediment infilling the inner firths are in part attributable to transport of material from the offshore zone. Since the fluvial input to the area appears tobe relatively small and much is retained on estuarine tidal flats it is likely that the offshore contribution is the most important constituent of the deposits of the coastal margin. The other major source is glacial and fluvioglacial material now being reworked by marine activity.

  • Concept Designs for a Groyne Field on the Far North Nsw Coast
    CONCEPT DESIGNS FOR A GROYNE FIELD ON THE FAR NORTH NSW COAST I Coghlan 1, J Carley 1, R Cox 1, E Davey 1, M Blacka 1, J Lofthouse 2 1 Water Research Laboratory (WRL), School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, The University of New South Wales, Manly Vale, NSW 2Tweed Shire Council (TSC), Murwillumbah, NSW Introduction On the open coast of NSW, many options exist to adapt to the hazards of erosion and recession. Perhaps the most common historical approach to counter the erosion and recession hazard is to construct a seawall or revetment to protect the existing foreshore. Other alternatives include the construction of a submerged breakwater, assisted beach recovery and/or beach nourishment. For beaches with a littoral drift imbalance, the construction of one or more groyne structures is a further possibility. This paper presents two different concept designs for a long term groyne field at Kingscliff Beach. Background Information Case Study: Kingscliff Beach Kingscliff Beach, located at the southern end of Wommin Bay on the far north coast of NSW (Figure 1), is a section of the Tweed coastline with built assets at immediate risk from coastal hazards. Ongoing erosion in the last few years has resulted in substantial loss of beach amenity and community land. Storm erosion episodes between 2009 and 2012 severely impacted the Kingscliff Beach Holiday Park (KBHP). This section is also affected by moderate ongoing underlying shoreline recession (WBM, 2001). To manage the Kingscliff Beach foreshore (Figure 2) in the longer term, Tweed Shire

ITE contributes to and draws upon the collective knowledge of the fourteen sister institutes which Make up the Natural Environment Research Council, spanning all the environmental sciences. The Institute studies the factors determining the structure, composition and processes of land and fresh- water systems, and of individual plant and animal species. It is developing a sounder scientific basis for predicting and modelling environmental trends arising from natUral or man-made change. The results of this research are available to those responsible for the protection, management and wise use of our natural resources. Nearly half of ITE's work is research commissioned by customers, such as the Nature Conservancy Council who require information for wildlife conservation, the Department of Energy, the Department of the EnvironMent and the EEC.
