Project Description: The objective of the Great Slave Lake Area Mines Site Assessment and Remedial Planning Program is to assist Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) with its ongoing work to clean up abandoned mine sites across the Northwest Territories. This will be accomplished through a series of Environmental Site Assessments followed by the development of a Remedial Action Plan (RAP). Samples will be collected manually at each of the four mines, with a zodiac and motor the only required equipment. Soil, vegetation, water, sediment, benthic invertebrates, tailings, waste rock, and any hazardous materials will be collected manually for analysis by laboratory methods. Visual inspections will be conducted by air and foot by mine specialists at all four sites. Upon completion of the field work and receipt of all the sample results, reports will be prepared for INAC CARD. INAC CARD will be responsible for ultimately communicating the results to the communities. The fieldwork for this study will be conducted from August 7, 2010 to December 31, 2010.
