This paper describes why the hot water extraction process can lead to an accumulation of tailings sludge. A theory is proposed to predict tailings accumulation rate; predictions are compared with GCOS' operating experience. Using this theory, future projects can be evaluated on their merits without extrapolating GCOS' experience, which may or may not be applicable. Several unsuccessful approaches to reducing sludge accumulation are described to encourage others to seek new approaches.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Presented to Symposium on Tar Sands.  26th Canadian Chemical Engineering Conference.
