Summary:
The study is to continue to establish natural variations in the surface water conditions within the Exploration Licence (EL 494) area and monitor potential impact of oil and gas exploration activities.
Surface Water Quality Sample Collection:
Collect surface water samples once, from a reduced number of sampling locations targeted near areas where exploration activities have occurred. The water...

Summary:
The objective of the project is to identify the fish species present, gather population data on surveyed fish species, assess fish habitat characteristics, and identify benthic invertebrate species present in waterbodies in the area of Husky’s proposed exploration activity. Five streams and nine lakes are proposed to be assessed.
Backpack electrofishing and fyke nets will be used to assess the ...

Summary:
The objective of the project is to identify the fish species present, and to gather population data on surveyed species, in waterbodies in the area of Husky’s proposed exploration activity.
Four streams and four to seven small lakes are proposed to be assessed. The Cumulative Impact Monitoring Program recommended selecting 2-4 streams appropriate for collection of baseline information that can...

2012 Summary:
The objectives of this research is to provide a better understanding of the permafrost under EL 462 and EL 463 and to delineate potential aggregate deposits. Objectives will include mapping: permafrost distribution, massive ice bodies (including wedge ice), depth to massive ice, lower contacts of massive ice, zones of thermokarst, ice rich sediments (thaw sensitive), active layer, and aggregate de...

2012 Summary:
The study is to continue establishing the groundwater and surface water conditions within the exploration licences prior to and during oil and gas exploration activities.
Groundwater Monitoring: Groundwater Level Measurements
The depth to groundwater at each well will typically be measured from the top of the well casing using a water level tape. Groundwater levels will be measured prior to pu...
