Résumé: The objective of the program is to collect fisheries and environmental baseline information to better understand the environmental characteristics of the Great Bear River and to support potential future development of hydropower on the Great Bear River. The program is not being conducted to support a specific project as there are no hydropower projects planned for the Great Bear River at this tim...

Résumé: NT Hydro is in the process of characterizing the hydro potential of the NWT, and the hydrological information collected from the four gauging sites will be used to determine if any hydro potential exists on these four rivers. These gauges are not being installed in relation to development of a specific hydro project on these water bodies. Gauging stations operate and log data continously in...

Résumé: The objectives of this study are to: - Develop vegetation classification maps for local and regional study areas around the Thor Lake project. This new mapping can be used to identify or assist in the location of sensitive or ecologically important ecosystems, culturally important plants, rare plants and rare ecosystems, and will be the basis for wildlife habitat availability mapping. - Conduct...

Résumé: Soil samples will be taken from representative sites in order to complete soil reclamation suitability assessment. Surficial sediments and soils will be described at each pit. In addition, notes will be taken on vegetation, drainage and terrain features, etc. A permafrost survey will consist of drilling shallow holes (<3 m) to determine permafrost conditions. Shallow permafrost drilling will be...

Résumé: The objectives of this project are to characterize the baseline water and sediment quality within the Thor Lake area, and to characterize the baseline aquatic community through the collection of phytoplankton, zooplankton and benthic invertebrates. Water, sediment and aquatic organisms will be collected from 20 stations within the Thor Lake area. Most stations will be accessed by ATV and/or bo...

Résumé: The fisheries portion of this baseline program has three primary objectives: to identify the fish species composition in a subset of the lakes and streams near the Thor Lake project area, to identify existing fish habitat in those lakes and streams, and to measure the current levels of mercury, rare earth elements and other trace elements in fish tissues. A secondary objective of the program is to...
