Summary: Objective 1: Build a partnership between government, communities, regulators and researchers to develop a watershed-based cumulative impact study in areas of oil and gas exploration in the Sahtu region. The Sahtu Renewable Resource Board (SRRB) can play an important coordinating role in bringing partners together and working with the communities to determine appropriate engagement in the projec...

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 Bosworth Creek Monitoring Project has become permanently embedded in Mackenzie Mountain School’s Experiential Science 30 Program and will continue to provide professional development for local youth through associations with academic and industrial institutions. The project will complete baseline biological and chemical data and investigate new sources of ground water that may be the result of...

Summary: SURFACE WATER HYDROLOGY: The goal of the 2010 research program is to provide additional data that describes the existing surface water conditions at the site. This information is required for environmental assessments and water management plans for the area. Data obtained will help determine a quantitative description of the annual temporal and spatial distribution of stream flow conditions, prec...

Summary: The project objectives include the collection of information on: water and groundwater, sediment, benthic invertebrates, fish (species presence/abundance, quality, habitat), vegetation, soil/tailings/wasterock, radiological characterization, mine openings, infrastructure and general site conditions. Environmental sampling and monitoring work at the Port Radium site is a continuation of activities ...

Summary: Year 2 of this four-year project involves detailed mapping of landslides and collection of soil samples. Soil sampling will be carried out by digging shallow test pits with hand tools or by using a small hand-held, gas-operated coring machine. It is estimated that up to six test pits of about 1.5m diameter and about 1.5m deep will be excavated at a site; however, the total number of test pits to b...

Summary: This study is a continuation of a project that began in 2001. The researchers are studying the flow and storage of water in the Scotty Creek watershed. The data they collect will help them to create a model that will do a better job of estimating the volume and timing of basin runoff in wetlands in discontinuous permafrost terrain. The information they have collected so far suggests that peat p...
