Objective(s): The main objective of the 2004 winter program is to obtain information with respect to subsurface conditions along a preliminary pipeline route, at proposed or potential river crossings and within potential borrow sources. This information is required in order to assess the feasibility of a Mackenzie Valley pipeline and for the preparation of subsequent regulatory applications. Included in these investigations are 1) potential borrow sources (including granular deposits and bedrock), 2) proposed watercourse crossings, and 3) installation of thermal recording devices to measure representative frost heave conditions along the proposed pipeline route.
