Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5224. The first objective of this project is to quantify microplastic concentration and composition in water, sediment, zooplankton, and air around Great Slave Lake. The second objective of this project is to examine if microplastic concentrations are greater near communities than the open water of Great Slave Lake. The thi...

Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4946. The objective is to conduct water monitoring to ensure that the project is overall compliant with the environmental permit and approval conditions and requirements. Monitoring at water crossing locations will be required for any in-water construction and where there is potential for entrainment of sediments. This i...

Licensed Year(s): 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4741. The aim of this study is to understand the current concentrations of total phosphorus within sediments of the Fiddler's drainage area. Samples are being collected at 4 locations long the Fiddler's drainage and one location in Great Slave Lake at the outflow of Fiddler's into the lake. These locations have been chosen ...

Summary: The purpose of the 2005 Aquatic Effects Monitoring Program is to initiate a long-term aquatics sampling program in order to produce a data set that will be used in trend analyses to track the overall effects of the project on the aquatic ecosystem of Lac de Gras and to confirm predictions made during the Environmental Assessment. This is achieved by conducting consistent annual sampling at fixed m...

Licensed Year(s): 2005 2004
Summary: Colomac Gold Mine was closed in 1996 and is now under the care and maintenance of INAC. Mine water is accumulating in the Tailings Containment Area (TCA) and the mine pits and will have to be released to the environment within a few years. Under the reme...

Principal Investigator: Liber, Karsten
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: The research team will be transported to Long Lake by aircraft, and will travel by truck on the mine site. Sample collection will be carried out using a motorized boat. Water and phytoplankton samples will be collected using a 10 L Go-Flo water sampler. Zooplankton samples will be collected using a zooplankton net. There are three taxa of freshwater zooplankton that may be collected from Long ...
