Please clarify.<br />In 2008, "11,400 metric tons of airborne particulates were deposited over approximately 4 months…. Installation of precipitators to control fly ash emissions in the late 1970s took place…"<br />When? In 2008? In the 1970s? Aren't most if not all of the upgraders newer than that?<br />"… and for some time, deposition of particulates declined. Unfortunately, by 2008, w increased oil sands production, deposition of particulates reached 34,000 metric tons, close to the annual emissions rate before the installation of precipitators."<br />The chronology is not clear.<br />Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6399730406480392183.post-82173493632338371702012-02-04T13:09:03.762-04:002012-02-04T13:09:03.762-04:00Excellent.

What is needed is ...Monitoring alone is inadequate. What is needed is an implementable active and dynamic plan for backup and recovery. Backup if a system fails, such as pipe bursts and other environmentally damaging failures. Recovery to replace Boreal forest as the mining operation moves along. This is the basics of project management; risk, recovery, and end-of-life management. All that remains is an enforceable plan of action. And to make it happen, government needs to stop all production - not a single barrel of oil - until oil companies sign on and pay up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
