Summary: The objective of the groundwater investigation is to confirm the presence or absence of contamination and to determine the risk associated with contaminated groundwater infiltration into the lake (if applicable). This work will include installing five to six monitoring wells at the site in the area adjacent to the Great Slave Lake. A secondary objective is to inspect the fuel storage tanks located...

Summary: The goal of the 2011 Surface Water Hydrology & Climate program at Thor Lake is to collect additional data that describes the existing surface water and climate conditions at the Thor Lake Property. This information is required for continued baseline monitoring, environmental assessments and water management plans for the area. Data obtained will help determine a quantitative description of the ann...

Summary: The objective of this research is to assess the performance of lagoons and wetlands in the treatment of municipal wastewater in Canada's Arctic. A secondary objective is to determine the occurrence of trace contaminants in northern wastewaters. Samples will be taken from the influent (raw sewage) and effluent (treated wastewater) select wastewater systems. Samples will be taken during the perio...

Summary: NT Hydro is in the process of characterizing the hydro potential of the NWT, and the hydrological information collected from the four gauging sites will be used to determine if any hydro potential exists on these four rivers. These gauges are not being installed in relation to development of a specific hydro project on these water bodies. Installation of the gauging stations: Hydrometric g...

Licensed Year(s): 2010 2009
Summary: This licence is being issued for the scientific research application No. 1120. The objectives of this four day field survey is to: 1) Inspect the 4 hydrology and 1 meteorology stations to ensure they are in working order; 2) Repair stations, if required; and 3) download site-specific weather and stream flow data from the stations. Equipment at each hydrostation consists of a datalogger (to r...

Licensed Year(s): 2008
Summary: This licence is issued for the scientific research application # 926. The goal of this river geomorphology program is to describe the Slave River’s channel landforms and sediment characteristics and assess the sensitivity of these river landforms to potential changes in stream hydrology. Field visits will include a reconnaissance flight via helicopter along the Slave River (from Fort Smith ...

Principal Investigator: Hoos, Rick
Licensed Year(s): 2007
Summary: The objectives of the single site visit in 2007 are as follows: (1) to re-install instruments at the 4 existing hydrostations, so that data will be recorded automatically during the summer season; Tyhee personnel will remove the instruments (a datalogger and pressure transducer for each station location) at the end of the season, before freezeup; (2) download data from the existing weather station...

Summary: The objectives of the hydrological program are to collect and store creek-discharge data in conjunction with creek-stage elevations in order to increase the accuracy of the stage-discharge relationship and prepare a time history of flow. The objectives of the meteorological program are to install instrumentation to collect site-specific meteorological data and to begin a site monitoring program. ...
