Summary: The main objective of the program is to collect fisheries and environmental baseline information to better understand the environmental characteristics of the Great Bear River and to support potential future development of hydropower on the Great Bear River. The program is not being conducted to support a specific project as there are no hydropower projects planned for the Great Bear River at thi...

Summary: The objective of this project is to identify geophysical anomolies that will warrant additions to exploration activity (seismic surveys). Three helicopters will be required for this project. Two Hughes 500’s will be used as longline helicopters to collect gravity data. The Hughes 500 is ideal for this longline operation as the helicopter is small and maneuverable. The third support helicopte...

Summary: Several biophysical and engineering studies on the feasibility of a pipeline in the Mackenzie Valley have been conducted, and will continue in 2007. Local knowledge, scientific research, and existing technical information are being used to develop a knowledge base for environmental protection plans, engineering design and regulatory processes. Route and site reconnaissance will be performed by...

Summary: The NWT is on the cusp of unprecedented change as the global capital machine in the form of the Mackenzie Gas (pipeline) Project (MGP), a massive hydrocarbon development, mobilizes to roll through the territory. The unparalleled scale and size of the MGP and the industrial activity that it will ignite will likely stress every element of the northern ecosystem. Women and the social and cultural spa...

Summary: Primary access to the field is the winter road that extends north of Wrigley to Fort Good Hope and the C.N.T. Trail, north of Fort Good Hope. A temporary rig camp will be established near the Town of Fort Good Hope. The camp will be able to accommodate up to 60 people. Secondary access to the investigation sites and potential water sources will follow existing cutlines, rights-of-way, and trails w...

Summary: Primary access to the field is the winter road that extends north of Wrigley to Fort Good Hope. Two temporary rig camps will be set up, one near the Hamlet of Tulita and the other near the intersection of the existing winter road and Little Smith Creek. Each camp will be able to accommodate up to 60 people. Secondary access to the investigation sites and potential water sources will follow existi...

Summary: The objective of the program is to collect information regarding the surficial geology of the Great Bear River at the location of the proposed pipeline watercourse crossing. This information will be used to determine the depth to bedrock as part of the information for a river crossing design, and for use in the design of a proposed horizontal directional drill (HDD) crossing at this location. S...

Summary: The 2006 Traditional Knowledge Studies mark a continuation of Traditional Knowledge work initiated, as part of the Mackenzie Gas Project, with Katlodeeche First Nation in 2005. Local knowledge and technical/scientific research, in combination with a synthesis of existing technical information, is being used to develop a suitable knowledge base for planning, assessment of impacts and development of...
