Therefore using the rates of deposition now recorded at 450 km and projected at 400 km, the minimum annual deposition from Fort McMurray would be 0. 8 kg SO4-S/ha and from Cold Lake-Lloydminster 0. 65 kg SO4-S/ha for a total of 1. 45 kg S04-S/ha. If this is translated into an actual effect on pH, it is equal to about 9 [microequivalents per litre] of acidity or sufficient to reduce the pH of a lake one metre deep from pH 6. 0 to 5. 0 in one year if no buffering effect was present. 2, record 2, English, - deposition%20rate
