Summary: The main objective of the Phase III Environmental Site Assessment is to delineate the hydrocarbon contamination at the site resulting from an overflow of fuel at a vent pipe of an above ground storage tank. Test holes will be excavated with a backhoe around the former spill area in order to collect soil samples. Each sample will be submitted to a Canadian Association for Laboratory Accreditatio...

Summary: The purpose of each Phase I/II Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) is to determine the current environmental and physical conditions at each site to allow for the potential future development of the appropriate remediation or risk management strategies and costs. This will include the identification and quantification of environmental impacts to all media including soil, sediment, surface water a...

Summary: The purpose of the Supplemental Environmental Site Assessments is to further determine the current environmental and physical conditions at several petroleum hydrocarbon spill sites along the Canol Trail, and address the gaps identified from the 2012 sampling program. Key findings from these select sites will be synthesized to identify the scope and nature of the spills, potential trends regarding...

Summary: The objective of this research project is to conduct Phase II Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) at six locations located within the Northwest Territories (NT). The purpose of field investigations at Caribou Point, Crestaurum Mine, Sun-Rose Claim Group, Thompson-Lundmark Mine, Wrigley Point, and Dome Lake is to determine the current environmental and physical conditions at each site and to red...

Principal Investigator: Zawacky, Summer R
Licensed Year(s): 2012
Summary: The objective of this study is to complete comprehensive site investigations at each location (10 in total) to determine environmental and physical conditions. This will include the identification and quantification of environmental impacts in soil, sediment, surface water and groundwater, and the identification of any hazardous or non-hazardous materials left on site. Columbia personnel will f...

Summary: The assessment is designed to delineate the horizontal and vertical extent of uranium contaminated soil at sites located along the Great Bear River portion of the Northwest Transportation Route (NTR). The soil quality and quantity information gathered during this assessment is required to assist in the development of future remediation plans for this segment of the NTR. The proposed tasks are a...
