Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5636. The purpose of the baseline program field studies is to: characterize existing conditions in the project vicinity and surrounding region to support project planning, permitting, and development of a proposed lithium mine. One continuous air quality monitoring station will be installed to measure ambient concentratio...

Principal Investigator: Chan, Laurie H. M.
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5380. The Health Effects Monitoring Program (YKHEMP) begun in 2017 with the main objective to establish a baseline of contaminant exposure and possible health effects in Yellowknife, Ndilo and Dettah, NWT, to ensure the Giant Mine Remediation Project (GMRP) does not negatively impact the health of the communities during rem...

Principal Investigator: Palmer, Mike
Licensed Year(s): 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4829. The objective of this project is to gain a better understanding of the current state of mining related contaminants in local berries and garden produce in the Yellowknife area and to determine the potential risk to human health associated with the consumption of these local food sources. Specifically, this project ...

Licensed Year(s): 2010
Summary: The overall research question is “Did the information provided to stakeholders (and other interested and affected parties) about the Giant Mine Remediation Plan allow them to equally and fairly participate in the consultation process?” Specific objectives of this research are: 1. To review available documents on the Giant Mine Remediation Plan, and assess these in terms of accessibility, content...

Principal Investigator: Ziervogel, Herb
Licensed Year(s): 2010
Summary: The objectives of this project are to conduct environmental site assessments at the five sites to identify the extent of various contaminations in the soil, water and sediments. A remediation action plan will be prepared for future cleanup at the sites. The field team will use shovel and hand auger to collect limited soil and waste rock samples for lab testing. The lab testing will focus on ...

Principal Investigator: Davidson, Scott
Licensed Year(s): 2009
Summary: The Phase I Environmental Site Assessment is a "non-intrusive" assessment, means no borehole or test pit will be drilled on the site and no water or soil samples will be collected or laboratory analyses. The majority of the work focus on desktop studies, by reviewing previous drilling reports, geological investigation reports, environmental assessment reports, claim reports, information at the go...

Principal Investigator: Robb, Tonia L
Licensed Year(s): 2009
Summary: The objectives of the monitoring program are to ensure that the on-site remediation works remain effective; to ensure that site specific health risks are monitored; and to identify any long-term changes that might be indicative of failures of the remediation works. The above objectives will be met by conducting a geotechnical inspection of the decommissioned mine, tailings and waste dump areas;...

Principal Investigator: Wright, Greg T
Licensed Year(s): 2009
Summary: The objectives of the assessment are to collect sufficient soil, sediment and surface water samples in order to characterize the site and to determine areas that require remediation. Samples of the waste rock piles will also be evaluated to determine the potential for acid rock drainage. After the completion of the field program, a risk assessment will be completed to Health Canada protocols in ...

Principal Investigator: Ziervogel, Herb
Licensed Year(s): 2009
Summary: The objective of this project is to determine the current environmental and physical condition of the site, in support of the development of a remedial action plan and remediation specifications for the site. On Treasure Island, the field team will use shovel and hand auger to collect limited soil and waste rock samples for lab testing. The lab testing will focus on hydrocarbons and metals. Th...

Principal Investigator: Farrell, Rory
Licensed Year(s): 2009
Summary: The objectives of this project are to characterize and delineate potential contaminants of concern at the Site, determine volumes of Hazardous Materials at the Site and identify potential borrow sources for landfilling at the Site (if necessary). A remedial action plan will then be developed outlining the most environmental, and cost effective method to restore the Site to its natural condition. ...
