Tailings

Channels of distribution Amazon plays big roles such as a middleman, a marketplace, and an online retailer. Amazon can be viewed with having one channel of distribution. However, Amazon divides its channel into two groups professional and individual. Professional is the plan for who sells more than 40 items a month such as retailers and wholesalers like Apple, Target, and Nordstrom. Individual is the plan for 3rd party sellers who sell less than 40 items a month. Products will be sent and stocked

They say that any contamination found in the river comes from natural bitumen seeps. It is very obvious from the number of cancer patients in Fort Chipewyan, and the deformed fish from the lake that the tar sands is the cause. I believe that the tailings ponds used by the tar sands are not properly lined, and that is leading to their toxic contents contaminating the river. The Dene land was taken by the government for the development of the tar sands, without their consent. As such, the law states

Metallic ores contain elevated levels of metals but they generate very large quantities waste called tailings. When active mining ceases, the mining sites are closed. This is the last phase of mining activity, the post-closure period. The objective of site reclamation is that the site should be return to the pre-mining conditions. The impacts persist for

the people who live in communities downstream from the tailing ponds, “they have seen spikes in rates of rare cancers, renal failure, lupus, and hyperthyroidism.” “In the lakeside village of Fort Chipewyan, for example, one hundred of the town’s one thousand-two hundred residents have died from cancer.”5 So not only will this pipeline affect the people living around it but it will also affect the people working on it and living around the tailing ponds, wherever those may be located. With it traversing

Introduction Canada holds the distinction of having World 's 3rd largest proven Oil reserves. The province of Alberta alone contains 98% of all these reserves, discovered in Canada (1). This is why Alberta holds the key position in Canadian economy as Canada is the fourth largest exporter of the oil and it makes up almost one-quarter of Canada 's exports as well as Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Almost 99% of Alberta oil reserves are contained in oil sands and the remaining 1% are present as conventional

What is environmental stewardship, and why is it so important? Well, environmental stewardship is being responsible, with the way we treat the environment. It is important, because if we destroy our environment, we end up destroying that which provides for us, and ultimately our means of survival. I am going to talk about the Alberta tar sands development, and about how they are not effectively protecting their environment. This has already led to negative effects in the surrounding areas. These

Here in the U.S mining uses 4,020 million gallons per day, out of that 4 million + gallons 86% of it comes from surface and groundwater. To put this in percpective if you were a swimming-pool builder and a customer asked you to build a pool that would hold 3.5 million-gallons you would need to build a pool about 950 feet long (almost as long as 3 football fields), 175 feet wide, and 10 feet deep. That’s a lot of water! Mining water is water used for the extraction of minerals that may be in the form

operation. Uranium has been extracted from open-pits and underground mines. The milling process extracts uranium oxide from ore to form yellowcake, a yellow or brown powder that contains about 90 percent uranium oxide. The total volume of mill tailings generated in the U.S. is over 95 percent of the volume of all radioactive waste from all power production. Uranium is a very heavy metal which can

environment, and the people who live there, when big companies do not exercise proper care. The Ok Tedi located in Papua New Guinea is often referred to as one of the worst man-made environmental disasters in the world, well known for its disposal of mine tailings into the local river system, which led to an international lawsuit and ultimately to the abandoning of the project. Australia-based BHP Billiton, is the world’s biggest mining company and in 2001, they sold its profitable Ok Tedi mine after having

man-made structures consisting of piles of non-ore overburden material that had to be removed in order to extract ore. This material, referred to in older literature as mine waste, mine soils, overburden, stockpiles or sub-ore does not include the tailings material, which consists of material remaining after milling. Mine waste rock and overburden dumps are massive structures. These immense waste dumps are often up to 400 meters high, designed to contain in excess of 1 billion cubic meters of material
