This report was prepared based on a site visit carried out on August 17, 2020 by Laurent Gareau and Nicolas Pepin of Golder Associates Ltd (Golder), Morgan Lypka and Jonathan Charland of Teck Resources Limited (Teck, Owner) as well as on a review of available data representative of conditions over the period since the previous annual TSFAI. Golder Associates are the original designer of the facility and have been the provider of the Engineer of Record (EOR) since 2017. Golder performed an inspection in 2009, and then has performed annual inspections of the facilities since 2014. Laurent Gareau assumed the role of EOR for the Louvicourt tailings facility in 2018. The objective of the site visit component of a TSFAI for any such facility is to observe the physical condition of the structures of the facility and look for any signs of changing geotechnical performance such as settlement, bulging, cracking, erosion, seepage and piping.

  • Garden Ponds Jim Sherman
    Garden Ponds Jim Sherman Over the last year, I’ve spent a lot of time pondering. This happens when you’ve got a pond in your garden, and every moment sitting in slack-jawed amazement at all the life thriving in a few gallons of clear amber water is time well spent. My pond is a standard amorphous lumber-yard black-fiberglass prefab, eighteen inches deep in the center with a pair of ten-inch deep shelves molded along what wound up as the east and west ends of the pond, with a capacity of 125 gallons. If I had it to do over again, the financial bullet would have been bitten and a 200 (or more) gallon model purchased; still, even a small pond is one of the most rewarding furnishings a garden can have. A pond is also both a classroom for, and an affirmation of, the organic method of gardening. As the enthusiasm for water gardening grows, countless gardeners who “only wanted to kill the fleas” (or the fire ants, or the aphids) have learned from the fish floating belly-up among the lilies that pesticides kill much farther up the food chain than they realized. Meanwhile, gardeners who refrain from chemical poisons that kill (at least) fish and amphibians in addition to insects fall asleep to the sound of toads in lust, and waken with delight to the sight of gelled ropes of eggs streaming through the water and, later, hundreds of tiny black tadpoles tumbling about in the pond. Toads are the most immediate payoff of having a pond in your organic garden.

  • A Watershed Is an Area of Land
    A watershed is an area of land through which rainwater drains by flowing across, through, or under the soil surface to a common low point, typically a stream, river, lake, or ocean. Each drainage system is its own watershed, and all watersheds are connected across the landscape and flow to the lowest point. CHAPTER 2 OVERVIEW OF WATERSHED SYSTEMS Alabama Watershed Stewards Handbook 10819 Overview of Watershed Systems In this chapter you will learn about the following: § watersheds and how they function § watershed hydrology and the water cycle § natural features found in watersheds § streams and riparian zones § the different ways watersheds are used § watersheds in Alabama § how Alabama uses watersheds Figure 2.1.

  • The Unique Hydrology of the Souris River Basin: a Prairie Pothole Region
    The Unique Hydrology of the Souris River Basin: A Prairie Pothole Region Hydrology is the scientific study of how water moves and is distributed across land. The effects of rainfall and snowmelt on river flows and reservoir levels are part of the unique hydrology that characterizes the Souris River basin. The Souris River basin is part of the Prairie Pothole Region, which stretches across Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba in Canada, and extends into North and South Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota, and Montana in the United States. What makes this region unique is the presence of shallow wetlands, or potholes, that were left behind during the last glacial period in North America. This pothole topography can be found across the majority of the Souris River basin. Kettles and Kames Fill-and-Spill Hydrology Shallow potholes, called kettles, are sometimes surrounded Under normal conditions, much of the watershed does not by irregularly-shaped earth mounds called kames. Kettles contribute to the Souris River directly because the kettle often contain sediment or vegetation, and can be dry lakes can store water and keep it from reaching the river. during summer months. During the spring snowmelt, they However, with large amounts of precipitation from snow can fill with water and form small kettle lakes. Kettle lakes or rain, the small kettle lakes can fill and expand outwards are often isolated from streams and rivers, and the water in until they begin to spill into one another, and eventually into these kettle lakes usually reduces over time through the Souris River.

  • Assessment of Drainwater Evaporation Ponds As Waterfowl Habitat in The
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Ned H. Euliss, Jr. for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Wildlife Science presented on October 11, 1989 Title: Assessment of Drainwater Evaporation Ponds as Waterfowl Habitat in the San Joaquin Valley, California.7-'\ V)( Redacted for privacy Abstract approved: Robet . Jarvis During 1982 through 1984 on drainwater evaporation ponds in the Tulare Lake Drainage District (TLDD), California I examined: 1) diets of northern pintails (Anas acuta), green-winged teal (A. crecca), northern shovelers (A. clypeata), and ruddy ducks (Oxyura iamaicensis), 2) the ecology and standing crop of aquatic invertebrates and plants, and 3) the proximate composition of waterfowl carcasses in the southern San Joaquin Valley, California. The intent was to assess the quality of drainwater evaporation ponds as waterfowl habitat. Animal foods dominated the diets of all waterfowl species examined with midge (Chironomidae) larvae, water boatmen (Corixidae), rotifers (Rotatoria), and copepods (Copepoda) forming the bulk of the dietary biomass. Waterfowl diets were unique for each duck species and each bird opportunistically foraged on the most abundant foods given their behavioral and morphological attributes. Waterfowl foods produced in TLDD evaporation ponds came from species-poor assemblages of biota, dominated by aquatic invertebrates. The salt marsh corixid (Trichocorixa reticulata) and a midge (Tanypus cirodhausi) were the most abundant invertebrates, forming 44.9% and 51.4% respectively, of all biota (dry weights) sampled. Regression models constructed for the corixid and the midge indicted that electrical conductivity and julian date were important regulators of their populations in TLDD evaporation ponds. Proximate composition of waterfowl carcasses and diets differed among duck species and appeared to reflect unique requirements of each species life style.
