Summary: Several environmental and engineering studies were conducted between 2001 and 2006 to assess a proposed pipeline in the Mackenzie Valley. These studies will continue in 2007 and 2008. Route and site reconnaissance will be by helicopter, and crews will land at selected sites based on observations made during the flight. Reconnaissance surveys of road-water crossings will be performed. Pipeline-...

Summary: Several biophysical and engineering studies on the feasibility of a pipeline in the Mackenzie Valley have been conducted, and will continue in 2007. Local knowledge, scientific research, and existing technical information are being used to develop a knowledge base for environmental protection plans, engineering design and regulatory processes. Route and site reconnaissance will be by helicopte...

Summary: The objective of the program is to map areas along the right-of-way where the ground is unfrozen (taliks) and to locate ice wedges and larger, deeper areas of massive ice, in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region. Shallow geophysical surveys will provide information on subsurface conditions. ARGO tracked vehicles will tow geophysical instruments (EM31, Ohm Mapper, or GEM-2) behind them. A ground-penetr...

Summary: Primary access to the field is the winter road that extends north of Wrigley to Fort Good Hope and the C.N.T. Trail, north of Fort Good Hope. A temporary rig camp will be established near the Town of Fort Good Hope. The camp will be able to accommodate up to 60 people. Secondary access to the investigation sites and potential water sources will follow existing cutlines, rights-of-way, and trails w...

Summary: A field office will be set up in Norman Wells. Primary access to the field is the winter road that extends north of Wrigley to Fort Good Hope. Two temporary rig camps will be set up, one near the Hamlet of Tulita and the other near the intersection of of the existing winter road and Little Smith Creek. Each camp will be able to accommodate up to 65 people. Secondary access to the investigation s...
