Summary: The objective of this project is to complete a Supplemental Baseline Monitoring Plan (SBMP) for water quality, fish population and benthic invertebrate programs. The SBMP contains two major study areas: Burke Lake, Reference Lake and the Marian River. Burke Lake will be the exposure area and Reference Lake will serve as the reference area for the SBMP. The exposure area for the Marian River wat...

Summary: The fisheries portion of this baseline program has three primary objectives: to identify the fish species composition in a subset of the lakes and streams near the Thor Lake project area, to identify existing fish habitat in those lakes and streams, and to measure the current levels of mercury, rare earth elements and other trace elements in fish tissues. A secondary objective of the program is to...

Licensed Year(s): 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008
Summary: The objectives of this project are to characterize the baseline water and sediment quality within the Thor Lake area, and to characterize the baseline aquatic community through the collection of phytoplankton, zooplankton and benthic invertebrates. Water, sediment and aquatic organisms will be collected from 20 stations within the Thor Lake area. Most stations will be accessed by ATV and/or bo...

Principal Investigator: Elliott, Milissa A
Licensed Year(s): 2008
Summary: This project seeks to identify and measure specific characteristics of plants to determine the current baseline conditions of the vegetation, collect grass samples to test for different species of fungi and integrate traditional knowledge of environmental systems with current biological sampling. Transects (a long straight line) will be measured out from the edge of a road to about 1 km away fr...

Principal Investigator: Hoos, Rick
Licensed Year(s): 2007 2006
Summary: Objectives of the aquatics studies are to determine fish presence/absence, characterize habitat and add to data collected in a similar programme in 2006. The objective of the water-quality sampling is to continue collection of data in streams and tributaries which flow through the project area. Hydrometric monitoring will enhance the flow history of streams down-gradient of the site. The objective...

Licensed Year(s): 2007 2006
Summary: This will be the second year of baseline environmental data collection, collected by Gartner Lee Ltd. on behalf of Anaconda Gold Corp. for the Damoti Gold Project. These studies will build on existing environmental data that was collected previously by various sources. The following tasks are associated with this study: fish and fish habitat assessments, hydrologic assessments and water quality as...

Principal Investigator: Bradley, Kourtney
Licensed Year(s): 2007 2004 2001 2000
Summary: The overall objective of this project is to collect additional fisheries information from Kennady Lake, the surrounding watershed and from “Control Lake” in the adjacent watershed for use in the environmental assessment of the De Beers Canada Inc. proposed Gahcho Kué Project. The studies that have been planned for 2007 include sampling for peamouth to determine whether it is present in the area...

Principal Investigator: Schryer, Rick P.
Licensed Year(s): 2006
Summary: Sampling of water, sediment, benthic invertebrates, fish inventories, and fish habitat mapping will be done. Water will be collected for chemical analysis, and limnology measurements taken. Sediment will be collected for chemical analysis and particle size analysis. Benthic invertebrates will be collected for taxonomic identification. Fish species, presence and relative abundance will be determine...

Principal Investigator: Weagle, Ken V
Licensed Year(s): 2005 2004
Summary: The purpose of this fieldwork is to continue the collection of baseline data to support an anticipated application to the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board. There are four main components in the 2005 program: 1) Air quality, climate and noise asses...
