This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5779.
The overall goals of the four projects proposed within Phase 1 are to:
1. Provide an enhanced understanding of the physical and geochemical properties of the roaster waste
2. Screen for potentially viable remediation alternatives that may warrant additional research (e.g., long-term laboratory experiments, pilot-s...

Summary:
The objectives of this research are to:
1. Determine total arsenic and arsenic species in water from Kam Lake and Meg Lake,
2. Determine total arsenic and arsenic species in porewater (which is a link between sediments and overlying water) from Kam Lake and Meg Lake,
3. Determine plankton communities, and total arsenic and arsenic species in plankton fractions,
4. Determine arsenic in food sou...

Summary:
The objective of this project is to understand why arsenic trioxide (As3+) is still present in soils around Giant Mine, how long it will remain there, and if the set of circumstances leading to persistent As3+-rich soil may apply to any other places previously assumed to be As3+-free. In terms of current mine remediation, future human contact with the site, and ecosystem health, it needs to be und...

Summary:
The aim of this research project is to examine the speciation of arsenic in soils around the Giant Mine, and to distinguish if the arsenic is of natural or anthropogenic sources. Soils in the study area are naturally enriched in arsenic as well as from the mining of gold. The results will help understand how much of the arsenic is the result of human impact, how bioavailable it is, and how it move...

Summary:
The overall goal is to provide data on arsenic cycling in sub-aqueous sediments to better understand the potential environmental impacts within Yellowknife Bay and the long-term fate of arsenic. Important objectives of the project are to assess the stab...
