A biotreatability test was performed on oil-contaminated sphagnum peat moss from a 1985 pipeline spill of light pembina Cardium crude oil at a bog near Violet Grove in central alberta. Four tests were designed to simulate several field treatment approaches and to collect critical data on toxicity and leachability of this material. These tests included a bioslurry test, a soil microcosm test, an aerated water saturated peat column test, and a standard toxicity characteristic leachate potential (TCLP) test.
