Geophysics and solvents: The Borden experiment

Abstract

The clearing in the central Ontario pine forest was hot, sandy, and busy as the two visitors stepped from the rental car and looked dubiously at the scene. A large metal-clad building dominated the east side of the clearing which was about 50 m across. A white trailer, a tent, a variety of cars and trucks, 45 gallon drums, scaffolding, raised wooden platforms, PVC pipe of all sizes, hoses, electrical cables, flood lights, tool chests and people filled the rest.
