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 research team proposes to collect information about fish habitat features and use on watercourse crossings located within the tentative pipeline corridor in the Sahtu Settlement Area. Surveys of fish and fish habitat will be made at 62 permanently flowing watercourses, as well as 15 intermittent streams. These studies will include hydrology and water quality work as well. All of the aquatic ...

Principal Investigator: Metikosh, Serge
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: The research team proposes to collect information about fish habitat features and use on watercourse crossings located on Crown Land along the tentative pipeline corridor in the Sahtu Settlement Area. The amount of work to be completed at each watercourse crossing will be determined during the reconnaissance level survey and will largely be driven by their size and flow characteristics. Smaller ...

Principal Investigator: Melton, Derek
Licensed Year(s): 1997
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: Jasper, J.N.
Licensed Year(s): 1976
Summary: To measure peak flows to determine designs for proposed culvert and bridge sites along the Mackenzie Highway and to assess Environmental conditions (erosion, etc.) at stream crossings before and after construction and to determine their effects on fish migration....

Licensed Year(s): 1975
Summary: Survey all streams to be crossed by the proposed Foothills Pipeline, conduct aerial and ground surveys of rare and endangered species, and inspect all stockpile and comprssor stations and wharfing sites associated with the proposed pipeline for Foothills Pipeline....

Principal Investigator: Davison, D.M.
Licensed Year(s): 1975
Summary: (1) To gather field data in order to assess drainage and erosion control and to evaluate the stability of slopes along the proposed Foothills Pipeline and at key river crossings; (2) To gather subsurface soil and ice information to analyze typical slope conditions for pipe support designs for Foothills Pipeline Limited....
