Mining oil sands 4 Jul 2014 Oil Sands Environmental Impacts. 3. July 2014. While mining is a more mature production method, it has been surpassed by in situ extraction. Environmental impacts[edit]. See also: Environmental issues surrounding oil sands extraction. Mining operations in the Oil sand mining has a large impact on the environment. Forests must be cleared for both open-pit and in situ mining. Pit mines can grow to more than 80 meters
Environmental concerns regarding oil sands mining focus on the toxic waste byproduct of the extraction process and land disturbance. After the sand is brought to an extraction plant, it undertakes a dilution process in which it is mixed with hot water and chemicals so that it may flow freely into pipelines.

One major environmental impact that comes from extraction in the oil sands is the water use. The water used in oil sands development is used in surface mining to separate the extracted oil sand into sand and bitumen components. Then, water is converted to steam in SAGD operations to separate
The tar sands mining procedure releases at least three times the CO2 emissions as regular oil production and is slated to become the single largest industrial contributor in North America to Climate Change.
The physical and environmental impacts of sand mining occur due to excavation that is taking place in the study area. Similarly, Ikhsan et al. ( 2009 ) and Lawal ( 2011 ) in their studies
