Reclamation problems and procedures for the oil industry and the canadian prairies

Journal Article · · Reclam. Rev.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6796430
Procedures used in western Canada to enhance biodegradation of waste oil are analyzed. In the prairie region, brine spills are more damaging to soil than oil spills are/ reclamation efforts aimed at neutralizing brine spills have been ineffective. Manure application is more immediately beneficial than gypsum application/ however, more research is needed to develop reclamation techniques that would provide acceptable soil reclamation.
