    Bioremediation of mine area groundwater inorganic contamination (BioMAGIC): final report / Prepared for Boojum Research Ltd.
    (Department of Geology, University of Toronto, 1999-05) Ferris, F. G.
    The occurrence of metal-contaminated acid mine drainage (AMO) is one of the most problematic situations facing the mining industry today (Hutchinson and Ellison 1992; Ledin and Pedersen 1996). Sources of AMO include the walls of underground and open pit mining sites, waste rock and ore stock piles, tailings waste, and spent heap leach piles from leaching operations. If left uncontrolled and untreated, AMO has the potential to contaminate surface and groundwater broadly enough to adversely affect regional water quality, as well as indigenous fish and wildlife populations (Hutchinson and Ellison 1992; Orabkowski 1993).

    Ecological engineering : tests of concepts and assumptions on Levack, Year 1 : ecology
    (1986-03) Kalin, Margarete A.
    The objectives and results of the Ecological Engineering endeavours conducted on the Levack tailings by Boojum Research Ltd. as part of an INCO/RATS/Boojum agreement, are summarized in the five sections below. The first section covers methods for establishing and promoting the expansion of cattail stands. The second considers the various waste water distribution systems tested. The third deals with the selection of suitable species for establishment on extreme acid or alkaline areas. The fourth examines methods of oxygen measurements in the root zones of various vegetation covers and considers the relationship to acid generation as well as outlining the results of preliminary efforts to establish and promote a moss cover on acid and alkaline tailings. Finally, the fifth section summarizes the chemical, physical and biological analysis of a seepage creek with the aim of developing a self-sustaining seepage treatment system for close-out.
