Research on the small scale test ponds has also showed us that as plants grow and as the bugs grow and then die, they end up making a layer which we call a detrital layer on the bottom.  And of course, that helps to make sure that  if that resuspends, the organisms just use it up.  It\u2019s part of the natural lake system. In addition, some of the other  research from other industries is that you can have a little pile of rocks, sort of an underwater berm.  So basically that makes sure that your shallow water zone which we call it a litoral zone doesn\u2019t get disturbed.  It allows the plants and the bugs to establish without having too much wave energy to knock their houses down, <\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nSamantha Tavenor  says researchers will monitor the evolution of the lake and fish can be introduced once a base food chain is established.\n<\/p>\n<p> <em><br \/>\nThanks today to <b>Syncrude Canada Ltd<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFOR INNOVATION ANTHOLOGY<br \/>\nI\u2019M CHERYL CROUCHER <\/b>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3> , <\/h3>\n<h4>, , , , <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.syncrude.com\">Syncrude<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/innovationanthology.com\/uploads\/SyncrudeLogo.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Date:<\/strong>\u00a02010-11-04<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it demonstrates its new <b>water cap tailings technology<\/b>, Syncrude Canada Ltd will fill an old mine pit with tailings and then cap that with water.
