Licensed Year(s): 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4645. In accordance with the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board (MVWLB) Guidelines, the overarching closure goal for former mine sites is to return the site and affected areas to viable, and wherever practicable, self-sustaining ecosystems that are compatible with a healthy environment and with human activities. To meet ...

Licensed Year(s): 2013
Summary: The main objective of the Phase III Environmental Site Assessment is to delineate the hydrocarbon contamination at the site resulting from an overflow of fuel at a vent pipe of an above ground storage tank. Test holes will be excavated with a backhoe around the former spill area in order to collect soil samples. Each sample will be submitted to a Canadian Association for Laboratory Accreditatio...

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...

Summary: The overall objective of the Phase I ESA is to identify and document any actual or potential environmental risks associated with the subject properties and provide recommendations for further assessment and/or risk management. The two main goals needed to meet the objective are: 1) Produce a Records Review Report of existing site information; components of the records review will be to identify ...

Principal Investigator: Koke, Paul E
Licensed Year(s): 2009
Summary: The objective of this study is to determine a general inventory of the physical features of the proposed project site, focusing primarily on the terrain, vegetation, and proximity and access to the community. The Government of the Northwest Territories, Department of Transportation, Airports Division is looking to relocate and expand the Trout Lake Airport. As a result, it is required that a L...
