CF Industries
Schreuder, Inc. was
contracted by CF Industries to do multiple tasks all
leading to the installation and operation of their own AR&RP located on
formerly mined lands.
The first step in this
project was a pilot study to test the natural treatment of tailing sands in a
small-scale barrel test. The barrels were tested regularly for multiple
water quality constituents as well as
bi-weekly for coliform.
Once this test was
finished, a larger scale replica of
the same process was set up on CF Industries properties using their water as the
input. Again, regular water quality
testing was performed and reported.
The last stage is the
operation of their own AR&RP on site.
