Principal Investigator: Bonhomme, Erica
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5995. To collect fish and fish habitat and bathymetric data for the detailed design and permitting of the Mackenzie Valley Highway Project. Fish Habitat Assessments A total of 36 (32 watercourses and 4 drainages) locations are proposed to be assessed, including some visited during previous field programs but were froz...

Principal Investigator: Carnochan, Stacey
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5579. The proposed fieldwork will inform the baseline setting of the Canada Energy Regulator (CER) Application amendment on while also aiding in the development of feasible mitigation measures that will reduce potential effects that the Project may have on aquatic environments, wetlands, wildlife, and vegetation. As well, t...

Principal Investigator: Mason, Kristine
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4731. To document existing environmental conditions at Pine Point to support upcoming development applications. Hydrology studies include the measurement of selected lake inflow and outflow and stream profile through field surveys, and installation of data loggers to continually monitor lake levels through the open-water...

Principal Investigator: Chiperzak, Doug
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5060. The goal is to collect baseline fish, fish habitat and hydrotechnical data for selected watercourses along the proposed Mackenzie Valley Highway to support engineering design and the regulatory process. Fish habitat will be assessed along 100 m reaches upstream and downstream of each potential watercourse crossing....

Principal Investigator: Chiperzak, Doug
Licensed Year(s): 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4822. The goal is to collect baseline fish and fish habitat data for two sections of the proposed Mackenzie Valley Highway; Prohibition Creek Access Road (PCAR) and Mount Gadet Access Road (MGAR). Data collected will support engineering design and regulatory process to construct these segments of the highway. A desktop s...

Principal Investigator: Miller, Matthew
Licensed Year(s): 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4565. The objective of this project is to conduct Aquatic Effects Monitoring. This will include three parts: 1) Riparian Habitat and Fish Usage Assessment. This is a study to monitor the trends and fluctuations of the aquatic environment along the riparian zones within the Taltson River from Nonacho Lake to Twin Gorges ...

Principal Investigator: Wilcockson, John B
Licensed Year(s): 2011
Summary: The objective of this research project is to determine the presence or absence of fish species as part of a habitat assessment of the proposed location for an exfiltration trench (effluent diffuser). Collected fish will be identified, weighted and measured. Electrofishing would be conducted along the banks of a 200m stretch of Prairie Creek, at the Prairie Creek mine site. Electro fishing would...

Principal Investigator: Thomas, Craig J
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2005
Summary: Objectives of this research will be to confirm the presence or absence of fish habitat at stream crossings associated with the Prairie Creek Winter Access Road alignment and if present document fish habitat characteristics (physical). The information will support documentation requirements for the Department of Fisheries and Oceans relating to the Fisheries Act and the potential need for a Fisheri...

Principal Investigator: Povey, Andrew
Licensed Year(s): 2005 2004
Summary: The researchers did a number of baseline studies during 2001 through 2004 as part of the Mackenzie Gas Project. These studies are continuing in 2005. Local knowledge and technical/scientific research is being used to design plans, assess impacts, and develop environmental protection plans. The aquatics field crews will consist of two Mackenzie Project Environment Group researchers and a local as...
