Summary: The research team, including an environmental consultant, a technician, and a member of the local community, will access the site and assess the site conditions. The researchers will access the site via helicopter and will complete a walk around of the site including the site facilities and surrounding area. Should any soil or surface water be identified as a concern, a sample will be obtained and...

Summary: The Pointed Mountain Gas Plant, six associated wellsites, and the airstrip are being assessed during the decommissioning process. The site was initially constructed in 1966. The plant has been shut down since September 2001. The Pointed Mountain field has had soil, groundwater, and surface water assessed since 1990. Previous environmental work and public consultation at this site have identifi...

Summary: This study is a continuation of a project that began in 2001. The researchers are studying the flow and storage of water in the Scotty Creek watershed. The data they collect will help them to create a model that will do a better job of estimating the volume and timing of basin runoff in wetlands in discontinuous permafrost terrain. The information they have collected so far suggests that peat p...

Summary: The purpose of this work is to add to the work that was done in 2002-2004 at the N-01 wellsite as part of an environmental assessment of the wellsite and associated facilities. This phase of the environmental assessment of the wellsite and associated facilities may include: additional vertical and horizontal delineation of environmental impacts; installation of two additional groundwater monitori...
