Specific activities for this field season include the following:
(1) Resolution of the sources and fates of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in aquatic food webs of the Mackenzie Delta (year 3 of PhD thesis project of S. Tank). This information is needed to ultimately understand the relative role of bacterial (fueled by DOC) versus photosynthetic organisms and their importance in ultimately sup...

2006 Summary:
This study is designed to fill science gaps in Environment Canada’s understanding of the structure and functioning of the aquatic environment potentially impacted by various aspects of the Mackenzie Gas Project. While data collected during the Environmental Impact Assessment studies (carried out in conjunction with the proposed construction and operation of the Mackenzie Gas Pipeline) are relative...

Summary:
The Mackenzie Gas Pipeline will cross more than 600 tributaries of the Mackenzie River, ranging from small (< 1 m) vegetated swales to large rivers. All construction methods, with the exception of trenchless drilling, will disturb the bed and banks of the rivers they cross. Fish habitat use and distribution has not been studied in sufficient detail.
Fish will be captured and identified for spec...

Summary:
In view of Peregrine Diamonds Ltd.’s move to advance the DO-27 kimberlite pipe of the WO Diamond Project to the pre-feasibility assessment phase, this project is proposed to collect baseline data that would contribute to an Environmental Assessment in subsequent years. Gartner Lee Ltd has been contracted to undertake field sampling, which will consist of examining surface water quality; hydrology;...

Summary:
The objective is to obtain sufficient baseline data to develop a lead and zinc mine adjacent to the old Pine Point property. The owl survey to identify species presence and breeding territories in the vicinity of the study area will include an evening broadcast-call program that will commence 0.5 hours after sundown to 0.5 hours before sunrise in April and May. This owl survey will target the Bor...

Summary:
Nahendeh Land and Environmental Services proposes to conduct baseline studies on behalf of Anadarko Canada Corporation, to determine the presence or absence of fish and wildlife habitat in the vicinity of the proposed project. The wildlife program will consist of a literature review, which would document any information on wildlife populations in the general project area, and identify any data ga...

2000 Summary:
Selection of lakes for this program was based on: size (diameter/depth); fish over-wintering potential; connectivity with other waterbodies; and the likelihood of intensive (3D) seismic activity occurring within the lakes during the winter of 2001-02. A total of 6 lakes have been identified for inclusion in the survey. Three alternate lakes have also been identified in the event that those selec...
