Objective(s): Imperial Oil Resources, Aboriginal Pipeline Group, Conoco Canada Resources Limited, Shell Canada Limited, and ExxonMobil Canada initiated a number of Biophysical Baseline Studies during 2001 as part of a feasibility study for the Mackenzie Gas Project. These studies are being continued in 2002. 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 environmental protection plans. The TeraAGA Consulting Group has been retained to conduct the baseline studies. The baseline noise monitoring program in the Gwich'in Settlement Area will focus on the collection of baseline noise data at the proposed location of the potential facilities near Inuvik.
