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 ...

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...

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. ...

Summary: Soil samples will be taken from representative sites in order to complete soil reclamation suitability assessment. Surficial sediments and soils will be described at each pit. In addition, notes will be taken on vegetation, drainage and terrain features, etc. A permafrost survey will consist of drilling shallow holes (<3 m) to determine permafrost conditions. Shallow permafrost drilling will be...

Licensed Year(s): 2009 2008
Summary: This license has been issued for the scientific research application #721. The objective of the research is to conduct TK and TLU studies in Behchoko, Whati, Gameti, Wekweeti, and Yellowknife with representatives of the Dogrib and Métis. The studies will be part of obtaining permits to operate a mine at the NICO Project location. Study participants will be interviewed either individually or...

Principal Investigator: Chouinard, Rebecca R
Licensed Year(s): 2008
Summary: This license has been issued for the scientific research application #875. This research aims to define a recognized model for transferring technical knowledge related to mining operations to communities and resource managers in an un-biased manner that speaks to the needs and values of the community. If successful, this knowledge-transfer model will aid in negotiations, regulatory reviews, and...

Principal Investigator: Keeling, Arn M
Licensed Year(s): 2008
Summary: This licence was issued for the application no. 811. This project aims to understand the social and environmental effects of historical mining in the Northwest Territories through historical research and visits to communities and mine sites. The researchers also hope to learn how community members can contribute their knowledge and experiences to understanding this history. In 2008, one rese...
