TextPublication details: Edmonton, AB : 1976. LGL Limited,Description: 50 p. : ill. , maps ; 28 cmOnline resources: Abstract: Between 26 August and 30 October 1974, a reflector device was tested as a deterrent to birds at a small tailings pond (Lower Camp Tailings Pond)located on Syncrude's lease 17, approximately 40 km (25 mi) north of Fort McMurray, Alberta. This tailings pond provided a situation analogous (though on a smaller scale) to that expected to occur at the Mildred Lake Tailings Pond that will be constructed on lease 17. The discovery of two bitumen-covered ducks and the remains of approximately 25 other birds along the shore of the small tailings pond on 6 August 1974, indicated that birds had died at this pond. Accordingly, the results of this study also provided information on the extent to which this tailings pond was hazadous to water- associated birds.
