Towards closure of the Fire Road Ard site in New Brunswick
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The approximately 120 ha backfilled Fire Road coal mine cut, located near Fredericton New Brunswick, has been a source of acid rock drainage since the mid 1980’s. Lime neutralization treatment of drainage has been continuously ongoing. The cut, with depths to approximately 20 m, is located in sandstones containing iron sulphides, principally pyrite, in the range of 1 to 2 wt%. Site water chemistry has been intensively monitored over the years using a series of groundwater wells within and bordering the disturbed areas. This has provided a considerable inventory of water chemistry data which has enabled interpretation of the characteristics of acid generation at the site; the effectiveness of “in situ” neutralization in reducing the ultimate acidity of the drainage, and trends in acidity over the years. During the past number of years a definite trend of decreasing acidity has been observed leading to the conclusion that the site should exhibit “zero lime demand” within the next 10 years. At present, plans are being developed for final closure of the site.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
