Summary: The objective of this project is to continue with phytoremediation planting on the Nota Creek C-17 well site. Additional soil lifts will continue to be integrated into the phytoremediation process until all impacted soil is remediated. Planting is planned for late June, a site monitoring and evaluation trip to the site will be conducted in August and harvesting is projected for late September. ...

Licensed Year(s): 2009
Summary: The purpose of the Phase II ESAs is to further determine the current environmental and physical conditions at 10 sites along the Canol Trail and to reduce data gaps and allow development of the appropriate remediation strategies and costs. This will include the identification and quantification of environmental impacts to soil, sediment, surface water and groundwater, as well as the identificatio...

Summary: The objective of the work is to assist INAC with its ongoing work to clean up the abandoned mine sites, and to insure that remediation efforts are performing as planned. SENES will be carrying out the sampling for the Contaminants and Remediation Directorate (CARD) of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC). INAC CARD has the responsibility to manage the abandoned Great Bear Lake mine sites i...

Principal Investigator: Drysdale, Jessica A
Licensed Year(s): 2009
Summary: The objective of this study is to identify how arsenic is bound in the sediments, and determine the role of microbial activity in arsenic mobility. It is anticipated that the results of this research will benefit the design of a constructed wetland, which is expected to be part of site remediation. The researchers propose to sample sediments and surface and pore water from the Ho-Hum Lake wetla...

Principal Investigator: Sealey, Heather N
Licensed Year(s): 2009
Summary: Arsenic was introduced to Ho-Hum Lake when it was used as a tailings pond during mining activities at Terra Mine, of the Silver Bear Mines Group. The objective of this study is to determine how arsenic is being removed from the lake water by a wetlands area. The intention for collecting data will include water and sediment sampling in Ho-Hum Lake, Moose Bay, and the wetlands between them. Seq...

Principal Investigator: Livingstone, Stephen
Licensed Year(s): 2008
Summary: This license has been issued for the scientific research application #856. This research will collect environmental samples, and quantify and categorize waste materials left at the Sawmill Bay site in preparation for site remediation. Research will involve sediment, surface water, soil, and groundwater sampling. A detailed explanation of the research methodology can be found in the research a...

Principal Investigator: MacNeill, Scott W
Licensed Year(s): 2003
Summary: This 5-day sampling program will involve fisheries, aquatic, and vegetation studies at/in the vicinity of the abandoned Port Radium Mine site. Concentrations of five biologically significant metals (antimony, arsenic, lead, nickel and zinc) will be dete...

Principal Investigator: Reimer, Ken
Licensed Year(s): 1996
Summary: The Environmental Science Group (ESG) has been requested by DND and NWSO to conduct environmental investigations of former DEW Line sites and other military bases in the NWT. Personnel will collect soil, plant, water, paint chips and insulating material for analysis of potential contaminants....

Principal Investigator: Kershaw, G. Peter
Licensed Year(s): 1981
Summary: To determine the chemical composition of the oil at a large spill and ascertain if the oil spilled 36 years ago is biodegradable....

Principal Investigator: MacKay, D.
Licensed Year(s): 1975
Summary: To determine how spilled oil behaves and interacts wit the northern environment; how far and how quickly spilled oil will spread on land and in water. To ascertain how low temperatures and snow affect its spread; how deeply oil penetrates into the vegetation, litter or peat and mineral soil layers and what proportion will be lost to evaporation. To provide an indication of the area which would b...
