Summary: Field research for 2012 will concentrate on two tasks: 1) Continued characterization of gas seeps observed and reported by the National Energy Board, Geological Survey of Canada and Inuvialuit. 2) Data logger (water temperature, level, conductivity and dissolved oxygen) retrieval and redeployment. The objectives of this program are: 1. to collect water and gas samples by-hand for subsequent la...

Licensed Year(s): 2011
Summary: Fieldwork is required to determine the potential effects of a ramping event (sudden shutdown of the power generation facility) on fish and fish habitat within the lower reaches of the La Martre River. This information would be added to the overall fish and fish habitat effects assessment and will identify potential mitigation measures, if required. Specific objectives of the field program includ...

Licensed Year(s): 2011
Summary: A Fish Habitat Assessment and an Archaeological Assessment are required for the proposed Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway. A Fish Habitat Assessment and an Archaeological Impact Assessment Report will be developed with data obtained from the proposed highway corridor during fall 2011. IMG-Golder Corp. is proposing to carry out a fish habitat and archaeological assessment program along the highway ...
