Objective(s): Imperial Oil Resources Ventures Ltd., Aboriginal Pipeline Group, ConocoPhillips Canada (North) Ltd., Shell Canada Limited, and ExxonMobil Canada Properties are continuing baseline studies begun in 2001 as part of the Mackenzie Gas Project. 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. This project is for aquatic studies that will include fish and fish habitat, hydrology, water and sediment quality, and hydrogeology. There are two components; 1) Aquatic investigations at additional potential infrastructure sites (barge landings and camps), water supply sources (lakes and rivers) or disposal sites, borrow pits and access roads; and 2) Aquatic studies at sites along the pipeline route that were not sampled in 2003 and at selected watercourse crossings along the most recent proposed pipeline route.
