Summary: The Pointed Mountain Gas Plant, four associated wellsites, and some associated infrastructure are being decommissioned. The site was originally constructed in 1966 and has been shut down since September 2001. Previous environmental work and public consul...

Principal Investigator: Buckland, Laurie L
Licensed Year(s): 2003
Summary: The field studies are required to obtain specific environmental information for the study area and will be used in the preparation of baseline and environmental impact assessment reports in support of regulatory approvals. The study area is a 5 km wide...

Summary: Imperial Oil Resources, Aboriginal Pipeline Group, Conoco Canada Resources Ltd, Shell Canada Ltd, and ExxonMobil Canada initiated a number of Biophysical Baseline Studies during 2001 as part of a feasibility study for the Mackenzie Gas Project. This pro...

Principal Investigator: Evans, Kevin
Licensed Year(s): 2002
Summary: The issues to be addressed in the emissions and air impact assessment portion of the project include: 1) adequacy of baseline emissions, air quality, meteorological and climatological data, as well as air quality and deposition monitoring data, for the B...

Summary: Ambient air quality data will be collected to the northeast of the Community of Inuvik. Monitored parameters will include sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and ozone. These data will be collected by a series of passive sampling devices, that will require servicing on a monthly basis. The sample media will be changed out at the end of each month, and returned to the laboratory for detailed chemica...

Principal Investigator: Huffman, Bill
Licensed Year(s): 2000
Summary: It is proposed that about 12 air samples would be collected into 6 liter stainless steel canisters using a small (<10kg) battery powered air sampler. Additionally, a 0.5 cubic meter open-bottom PVC chamber would be placed on the tundra for a period of 4-6 hours. Air would be sampled from the chamber periodically to establish biogenic emmission rates of n-butanol and other volatile organic compo...

Principal Investigator: Schuepp, Peter
Licensed Year(s): 1999
Summary: The Twin Otter, operated by the National Research Council of Canada, will be stationed at the Inuvik Airport (most likely in the RCMP hanger). Support equipment for the aircraft and for data analysis will be shipped to Inuvik and installed at the hanger and in the Finto Hotel. No installation or infrastructure is required elsewhere in the field. Data collected from the aircraft (operating at 60m)...

Principal Investigator: Digel, Mark
Licensed Year(s): 1996 1995
Summary: Methods of data collection will include water quality and bottom sampling in Lac de Gras and Lac du Sauvage; automatic and manual water level recordings; bathometric work; automatic weather stations and the monitoring of air-borne particles and visibility; continuation of baseline studies of soils and terrain, and vegetation; fish population, habitat, health, and spawning habits studies; baseline ...

Principal Investigator: Waite, Don
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: In this study, we will collect air, dust and rain samples on a weekly basis at five Canadian locations during the months of June and July, 1993. Three locations are in the NWT while two locations are in Saskatchewan. The samples will be analyzed in Regina and Edmonton for the presence of certain insecticides, herbicides and PCB's that are known to be transported in the atmosphere....
