Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5785. To revisit fixed sample stations at near-field, mid-field and far-field sites over the course of the year in an effort to determine any seasonal variation that may exist and confirm Environmental Assessment (EA) impact predictions. The AEMP Version 6.1 will consist of the following components: traditional ecologic...

Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5773. This research project has two objectives: 1) determine if installing an aerator in Frame Lake, Yellowknife, NT, will increase dissolved oxygen levels in the lake such that fish can be reintroduced; 2) if objective 1 proves successful, transfer fish into Frame Lake and monitor growth and reproduction to determine if t...

Principal Investigator: Cunada, Christopher
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5661. The objectives of this project are to establish a baseline for benthic invertebrates’ community structure and composition in the transboundary reaches of the Slave and Hay Rivers, and to track their status and conditions over time to assess ecosystem health and provide an early warning of change or stress in the envi...

Principal Investigator: Whelly, Mark
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5665. The main objective of this research licence is to collect baseline aquatic data in advance of the development of the Prairie Creek Mine. The study will be part of the Aquatic Effects Monitoring Program (AEMP) and will satisfy the requirements of the federal Environmental Effects Monitoring (EEM) and the MVLWB water l...

Principal Investigator: Chin, Krista
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5647. The main objective of this research project is to further inform the story of how cumulative effects impact lake systems in the Yamba River basin. The research team intends to accomplish this by collecting benthic macroinvertebrates in 70 lakes in the Yamba River basin to compliment water quality data that were colle...

Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5641. The broad research question is: How will beaver activity in the tundra impact aquatic ecosystem health? This research project will answer this broad question by addressing the following specific objectives and questions: Generate an understanding of beaver activity impacts on aquatic food webs in tundra streams. Que...

Principal Investigator: Horobin, Ric
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5035. The objective of this field program is to collect additional data including soil, surface water, groundwater, sediment and benthic invertebrate samples to analyze for potential contaminants. This information will help develop a human health and ecological risk assessment, and a remedial action plan to reclaim the site...

Principal Investigator: Musetta-Lambert, Jordan
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4985. The objectives of this project are to investigate impacts of permafrost slumping on water quality, benthic macroinvertebrate communities, fish communities and ecosystem function by (a) advancing research on previously studied thaw slumps within the Stony Creek Watershed and include unstudied (for biotic metrics) thaw ...

Principal Investigator: Gray, Derek K
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4966. The purpose of the proposed project is to improve the understanding of the effects of road development on lakes in Canada’s north. To achieve this purpose, the research team will pursue two objectives: 1) to determine if changes in water quality caused by road dust affects invertebrate communities (bugs and waterfleas...
