Summary: This project seeks to identify and measure specific characteristics of plants to determine the current baseline conditions of the vegetation, collect grass samples to test for different species of fungi and integrate traditional knowledge of environmental systems with current biological sampling. Transects (a long straight line) will be measured out from the edge of a road to about 1 km away fr...

Summary: Golder Associates was contracted on behalf of Grey Wolf Exploration to conduct preliminary baseline studies at Grey Wolf's proposed well sites. The objective of this study is to determine the presence or absence of fish and wildlife in the vicinity of the proposed project site. A literature search for registered archaeological sites within the proposed site is also planned. Golder Associates was c...

Summary: Main objective is to establish baseline wildlife & fisheries habitat conditions prior to start of Ranger Oil's winter exploration drilling program. All sampling will be done over a 2-3 day period in mid-September. Three well sites are planned for drilling. Well site 1 is near Nota Creek & accessed by the Norman Wells-Tulita winter road plus an existing short cutline. Well site 2 is near Bear Rock ...

Principal Investigator: Squires Taylor, Cindy
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991
Summary: The Researcher will conduct a survey, approximately 30 km on either side of the Mackenzie River using satellite imagery. A classification will be undertaken of the area from the Mackenzie Delta to the Fort Simpson area, with wider zones along the east side to include proposed pipeline routes. The information can be plotted as colour maps to show the location of trap lines, forest fires or wildlife...
