Objective(s): To collect additional environmental data which will be used to confirm current site conditions and to assist with finalizing Remedial Action Plans (RAPs) to clean up abandoned mine sites across the Northwest Territories.
Project Description: The objective of the 2013 Great Slave Lake Mines Sampling Program is to assist Aboriginal And Northern Development Canada-Contaminants And Remediation Directorate (AANDC-CARD) with its ongoing work to clean up abandoned mine sites across the Northwest Territories. The program aims to collect additional environmental data which will be used to confirm current site conditions and to assist with finalizing Remedial Action Plans (RAPs). Samples of surface water and sediment will be collected at Copper Pass Mine, Blanchet Mine and Outpost Island Mine. In addition, soil and vegetation will be sampled at the Copper Pass Mine. All samples will be collected by hand and will include the use of shovels, hand augers, water samplers and sediment corers. No mechanized/powered sampling equipment will be required. An inflatable zodiac and 15hp outboard motor will be used to access water and sediment sampling stations. At the completion of field work and receipt of sample results, reports will be prepared for AANDC-CARD. AANDC-CARD will be responsible for communicating the results to the communities. The fieldwork for this study will be conducted from August 19, 2013 to December 31, 2013.
