Metal mobility and attenuation in mine tailings and a mine drainage impacted aquifer with a reactive barrier (Sudbury, ON) / N. A. Doerr, C. J. Ptacek and D. W. Blowes.: En13-5/03-174E-PDF

"Concentrations of metals bound in the solid phase of the Nickel Rim tailings impoundment and downgradient aquifer were measured. Chemical extraction techniques and groundwater sampling, among other techniques, were used to assess the mobility of metals in the Nickel Rim impoundment and aquifer. Emphasis was placed on the effects of geology and a reactive barrier on the solid phase geochemistry of the aquifer. Tailings geochemistry determined by extraction techniques was compared to measurements of mineralogy and pore water chemistry made previously"--Abstract.
