An Entity of Type: infrastructure, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Syncrude Tailings Dam, impounding the Mildred Lake Settling Basin (MLSB), is an embankment dam that is, by volume of construction material, the largest earth structure in the world in 2001. It is located 40 km (25 mi) north of Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada, at the northern end of the Mildred Lake lease area owned by Syncrude Canada Ltd. The dam and the tailings artificial lake within it are constructed and maintained as part of ongoing operations by Syncrude in extracting oil from the Athabasca oil sands. Other tailings dams constructed and operated in the same area by Syncrude include the Southwest Sand Storage (SWSS), which is the third largest dam in the world by volume of construction material after the Tarbela Dam.

dbo:abstract
  • Als Syncrude tailings pond wird ein etwa 12 Quadratkilometer großes Absetzbecken der Ölsand-Aufbereitungsanlage „Mildred Lake“ des kanadischen Erdölunternehmens Syncrude in der kanadischen Provinz Alberta bezeichnet. Es ist vor allem bekannt durch den Damm, der das Becken einfasst. Dieser „Syncrude tailings dam“ gilt mit einem Volumen von 540 Millionen Kubikmetern als „der größte Staudamm der Erde“, gemessen am Dammvolumen, nicht aber gemessen am Volumen des maximal anstaubaren Wassers.
