Summary: The objective of this study is to describe the terrestrial and aquatic environment in the Yellowknife River between Prosperous Lake and Bluefish Lake as per the Fisheries Authorization and the Water Licence. This may include investigating vegetation, water quality, benthic invertebrate populations, and fish. The results will be used to determine the most suitable means of fish habitat compensation...

Licensed Year(s): 2005
Summary: This study involves fish sampling to determine relative abundance and levels of mercury and other metals in fish tissue in Giauque Lake, Thistlethwaite Lake and Control Lake A, as well as benthic invertebrate sampling and water quality sampling in the three lakes to complement the fish sampling. 3 sites in Giauque, 3 in Thistlethwaite and one in Control Lake A will be recorded. Captured fish will ...

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...

Principal Investigator: Brewin, Kerry M
Licensed Year(s): 2005
Summary: The purpose of this study is to collect biological information from both the control sites and the treatment sites within Matthews Lake and the surrounding area. The objective is to monitor these sites and collect enough information to evaluate the effectiveness of the 2004 habitat enhancement and construction activities. Field crews will fly to Matthews Lake, landing either on the runway or th...

Principal Investigator: Caughill, Dave
Licensed Year(s): 2004 2003
Summary: The main objective of this study is to characterize environmental conditions and supplement existing environmental information for possible use in long-term (i.e., multi-year) Environmental Effects Monitoring (EEM) programs as required of the Giant and C...

Summary: This work will assess the effects that mining may have on the aquatic environment of lakes within the Ekati claimblock as part of BHP Billiton's Aquatic Effects Monitoring Program. Data to be collected includes water quality, sediment quality, physical l...

Principal Investigator: Landry, Francois
Licensed Year(s): 2002
Summary: The field work is intended to provide baseline fisheries data for four lakes (Horseshoe, Toss, Fay and Logan) and to obtain post-baseline fisheries data on eight lakes (Vulture, Kodiak, Nema, Cujo, Nanuq, Counts, and Slipper) within the Ekati claimblock...

Principal Investigator: Moore, Peter
Licensed Year(s): 2002
Summary: The objective of this study is to collect detailed baseline information on several seasonal streams and ponds on BHP Billiton's Ekati Claim Block, confirm the presence or absence of various fish species in the proposed areas, and determine their value as...
