Summary: This project continues the on-going monitoring program of permafrost and collection of baseline terrain information in the Mackenzie Valley Corridor, NWT). This phase of the project is largely data collection. Objectives are: • To provide baseline knowledge of permafrost and terrain conditions (specifically ground temperature and permafrost active layer thickness) and improve characterization...

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...

Summary: The objectives of this study are to: - Develop vegetation classification maps for local and regional study areas around the Thor Lake project. This new mapping can be used to identify or assist in the location of sensitive or ecologically important ecosystems, culturally important plants, rare plants and rare ecosystems, and will be the basis for wildlife habitat availability mapping. - Conduct...

Summary: Soil samples will be taken from representative sites in order to complete soil reclamation suitability assessment. Surficial sediments and soils will be described at each pit. In addition, notes will be taken on vegetation, drainage and terrain features, etc. A permafrost survey will consist of drilling shallow holes (<3 m) to determine permafrost conditions. Shallow permafrost drilling will be...
