Description:   A series of studies were performed on the Waite Amulet tailings site near Noranda, Quebec, as part of the Reactive Tailings Study (RATS). The studies were mainly hydrogeochemical and core sampling. The purpose was to discover where acid generation in the tailings pile was taking place, and what factors influenced this region in the piles to generate the acid. Other characteristics of pile such a pore gases, and hydraulic conductivity were analyzed also.
