Summary: To revisit fixed sample stations at near-field, mid-field and far-field sites over the course of the year in an effort to determine any seasonal variation that may exist and confirm impact predictions. The study will encompass the following water based parameters: water quality, zooplankton & phytoplankton biomass and taxonomy, benthic invertebrate analysis and sediment chemistry. This program als...

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 ...

Summary: The environmental study will examine air, water, wildlife resources and traditional knowledge. All transportation will be by foot, helicopter and boat. To examine the aquatic environment of Snap Lake, water samples will be taken, a snow course survey will be done and stream flow measurements will be taken. The vegetation study will include a literature review of plant distributions and a field i...

Summary: The Coppermine River basin has significant mineral resources including diamonds as well as base and precious metals. In the early 1990s, the Slave Geological Province experienced a dramatic increase in mining activity when diamonds were discovered in the middle of the West Kitikmeot/Slave area at Lac de Gras. Northern ecological systems are particularly at risk to impacts of mining and other land...

Principal Investigator: Madsen, Eric
Licensed Year(s): 2001 2000
Summary: This research will monitor and evaluate the potential environmental effects from the construction and operation of a diamond mine. The activities planned for 2000 include: water sampling in Lac de Gras and east island streams and lakes, fish-out study on inland lakes, radio-tagging of lake trout in Lac de Gras, tissue sampling of Slimy Sculpin in Lac de Gras, benthic invertebrate sampling and lake...
