Principal Investigator: Evans, Marlene S.
Licensed Year(s): 2008
Summary: This licence is issued for the scientific research application #861. This study is designed to examine streams possibly affected by the proposed Mackenzie Gas Project pipeline and streams that can serve as future control/reference sites. The researcher will measure the following: nutrients and metals in stream water, stream water quality (DO, pH, conductivity, etc.), and aquatic invertebrate ab...

Licensed Year(s): 2006
Summary: The objectives of this research are three-fold: 1) to determine the natural variability of benthic invertebrate and fish communities at sites free of human impact; 2) to determine any changes in these due to mining activity relevant to regional variability; and 3) to establish dose response relationships and critical thresholds for stressors including mine effluent, ammonia, a hydrocarbon indicato...

Licensed Year(s): 2006
Summary: The objective is to obtain sufficient baseline data to develop a lead and zinc mine adjacent to the old Pine Point property. The owl survey to identify species presence and breeding territories in the vicinity of the study area will include an evening broadcast-call program that will commence 0.5 hours after sundown to 0.5 hours before sunrise in April and May. This owl survey will target the Bor...

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...

Summary: The research team will conduct studies of fish and fish habitat, hydrology, hydrogeology and water quality in the Deh Cho Region as part of the baseline studies for the Mackenzie Gas Project. These studies will complete the aquatic investigations initia...

Principal Investigator: Antoine, Don
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: Nahendeh Land and Environmental Services proposes to conduct baseline studies on behalf of Anadarko Canada Corporation, to determine the presence or absence of fish and wildlife habitat in the vicinity of the proposed project. The wildlife program will consist of a literature review, which would document any information on wildlife populations in the general project area, and identify any data ga...

Principal Investigator: Mears, Margaret
Licensed Year(s): 2000
Summary: Western was contracted on behalf of Paramount Resources to conduct preliminary baseline studies at Paramount's land holdings, and a proposed access corridor in the Cameron Hills area. The objective of this study is to determine the presence or absence of fish habitat and wildlife in the vicinity of the proposed project. A preliminary survey of the physical, chemical and biological features of the...

Principal Investigator: Melton, Derek
Licensed Year(s): 1998
Summary: The objective of the study is to determine the presence or absence of fish habitat and wildlife in the vicinity of the proposed project. A literature search for registered archaeological sites within the project area has been started. A helicopter will be used to access the four well sites and the proposed access routes. The development area will be surveyed by foot. All wildlife observations (ma...

Licensed Year(s): 1998
Summary: Fisheries and vegetation field work will begin in June 1998. Three small streams north of Fort Liard will be surveyed to determine if fish are present or absent and to assess the fish habitat in each creek. Two of these creeks are tributaries to the Liard River and are located near the P66 well site. Fisherman Creek, the tributary draining into Fisherman Lake from the Liard Range will also be surv...
