Slope analysis for the proposed Canada cement pond project / Independent Test-Lab Limited.

In accordance with a request by Mr. R. Roziere, P. Eng. of Ducks Unlimited (Canada), Independent Test-Lab Limited undertook to perform a subsurface investigation for the proposed Canada Cement Pond project which is bounded by McGillivray Blvd., Canada Cement Lafrage Company and McCreary Road. The Canada Cement Pond project consists of four (4) large ponds which were formed through the removal of clays for the purposes of cement production (see Drawing No. 1). The aim of the project is to drawdown and to regulate the water levels of Pond 2 and 3 within levels conducive to selected species of plant growth, and for the propogation of wild life. The purpose of the investigation was to determine the subsurface soil conditions and to recommend suitable pond-slope regrading configurations for long term stability through necessary engineering calculations and stability analyses. The analyses were carried out based upon the following outlines given by Ducks Unlimited (Canada) on October 6, 198
