  • Quantifying hydraulic conductivity spatial variability for a cement-based solidification/stabilization (S/S) remediation project: a case study. 

    9. Fenton, G.A., Lake, C.B., Liza, R. K. 2021. Quantifying hydraulic conductivity spatial variability for a cement-based solidification/stabilization (S/S) remediation project: a case study. Submitted to Canadian Geotechnical Journal, Vol. 58: 155-164. dx.doi.org/10.1139/cgj-2020-0067.
    This paper presents statistical analyses of hydraulic conductivity data collected from an existing cement-based solidification/stabilization (S/S) system. The goal is to characterize the spatial variability of hydraulic ...
  • The effect of different dewatering techniques on resulting effluent particle size. 

    Alimohammadi, M., Tackley, H., Lake, C.B., Spooner, I. Walker, T.R., Jamieson, R.C., Gan, C., and Bossy, K. 2020. The effect of different dewatering techniques on resulting effluent particle size. Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering, Vol. 47(10): 1145-1153.
    A paucity of literature has compared geotextile dewatering methods to more conventional dewatering methods (i.e. centrifuge, sedimentation) in the context of how geotextile dewatering performs at reducing particulate matter ...
  • Using a geotextile with flocculated filter backwash water and its impact on aluminium concentrations 

    Jahan, I. Wood, M., Lake, C.B. and Gagnon, G.A. 2018. Using a geotextile with flocculated filter backwash water and its impact on aluminium concentrations. Geotextiles and Geomembranes, 46(6):759-769.
    The use of geotextiles (i.e. geotextile tubes) in wastewater treatment applications is ever increasing. This paper examines the potential of using a geotextile to improve upon the treatment of aluminium present in a filter ...
  • Development of a leaching procedure to asses the risk of uranium leaching due to construction and demolition waste 

    Letman, M.M., Drage, J., Ryan, A.M., Jamieson, R., and Lake, C.B. 2018. Development of a standardized leaching procedure for the evaluation of uranium mobility in groundwater. Waste Management, 78:144-150.
    Naturally-occurring uranium can be found at elevated concentrations in groundwater throughout the world, with the potential to cause kidney damage in chronically exposed individuals. Empirical evidence shows that uranium ...
  • Particle Size Effects on Breakage of ACT Aggregates Under Physical and Environmental Loadings 

    Choi. H., Lake, C.B. and Hills, C.D. 2020. Examining particle breakage for a manufactured aggregate from cement kiln dust. ASCE Journal of Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste, 24(1): 04019029. DOI: 10.1061/%28ASCE%29HZ.2153-5515.0000468.
    Aggregates manufactured from fine-grained thermal waste residues using accelerated carbonation technology (ACT) represent a potential sustainable alternative to natural aggregates. However, for these manufactured products ...
  • Characterizaing sediment physical property variability for bench scale dewatering purposes 

    8. Alimohammadi, M., Tackley, H., Holmes, B., Davidson, K., Lake, C.B., Spooner, I., Jamieson, R.C., Walker, T.R. 2020. Characterizing sediment physical property variability for bench scale dewatering purposes. Environmental Geotechnics. https://doi.org/10.1680/jenge.19.00214.
    A field sampling program was undertaken to assess the variability of physical characteristics of contaminated sediments in a large (160 ha) effluent stabilization lagoon. The objective of this paper is to use this “field ...
  • Biodegradation kinetics of individual and mixture non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in an agricultural soil receiving alkaline treated biosolids 

    Shu, W., Price, G, Jamieson, R, Lake, C.B. 2021. Biodegradation kinetics of individual and mixture non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in an agricultural soil receiving alkaline treated biosolids. Science of the Total Environment. Vol 755(1): 142520. doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.142520
    Land application of biosolids is one potential source of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) into agricultural soils. Degradation is an important natural attenuation pathway that affects the fate and transport ...
