Summary: WorleyParsons, on behalf of Imperial Oil, began a benthic invertebrate and fisheries assessment program for the portions of Bosworth Creek adjacent to the Imperial Oil operations in Norman Wells, NWT. The objective of the project is to characterize biophysical conditions in Bosworth Creek in the area surrounding the lower Bosworth Creek Bridge; both upstream and downstream from the location of a f...

Summary: The objective of the first portion of the research is to identify, measure, and characterize lake trout and northern pike spawning habitat in Nonacho Lake and to confirm the presence of lake trout and northern pike juveniles and adults in potential spawning areas. Bathymetric surveys will be conducted at these sites in order to determine the areal extent of habitat loss, and the quality of habit...

Summary: The proposed fieldwork is intended to characterize baseline and post-baseline conditions in the lakes and streams near areas of current and pending mining activity. In anticipation of future infrastructure development, baseline data will be collected in those areas. Fish populations of the Panda Diversion Channel (PDC) will continue to be monitored, and compared with the productivity of two nearby...

Summary: The objective of this study is to collect fish habitat data at stream crossings of the Prairie Creek Winter access road alignment. The information will support documentation requirements for the Department of Fisheries and Oceans relating to the Fisheries Act, as well as the potential need for a Fisheries Authorization for the re-establishment of the Winter Access Road to proceed in the 2005-2006 ...

Summary: The research team proposes to collect information about fish habitat features and use on 111 watercourse crossings along the tentative pipeline corridor in the Gwich'in Settlement Area. The amount of work to be completed at each watercourse crossing will be determined during the reconnaissance level survey and will largely be driven by their size and flow characteristics. Smaller watercourses (t...

Summary: Fish will be collected and released live using seining and electro-fishing techniques. Data collection will also include flow monitoring. All assessments will be completed on watercourses within the Misery Road, Sable Lake Road and Fox Lake Road developments within the mine site. BHP will provide support staff which will include people hired locally....
