Summary: The objectives of this research project are to gain a greater understanding of the nature and scope of aboriginal participation in the JRP for the Mackenzie Gas Project, and of the factors that hindered or enabled individual aboriginal peoples of the northern Mackenzie Valley to participate in the environmental assessment for this project. An archival search of government documents, industry st...

Summary: The objectives of the sump monitoring activities are to gain further knowledge of long-term sump integrity and sump monitoring techniques while addressing both the commitments of the Mallik Gas Hydrate Project and the recommendations from site surveys. Active layer depth will be measured to determine differences between sumps and undisturbed areas. Ground temperature will be recorded. Ground co...

Summary: The objective of this research is to acquire well test data to characterize the properties and concentration of gas hydrates at Mallik. Researchers will collect samples, conduct ground temperature monitoring to evaluate the geothermal regimes controlling gas hydrate stability, and integrate data to better understand gas hydrates in permafrost environments and their potential as a future energy res...

Summary: The objective of this project is to identify geophysical anomolies that will warrant additions to exploration activity (seismic surveys). Three helicopters will be required for this project. Two Hughes 500’s will be used as longline helicopters to collect gravity data. The Hughes 500 is ideal for this longline operation as the helicopter is small and maneuverable. The third support helicopte...

Summary: The purpose of the Unipkat I-22 Phase II Environmental Site Assessment is to identify contaminates and their concentrations, as well as to delineate the extent of any contamination at this historic drilling sump site. The Unipkat I-22 Phase II ESA is designed to gain the maximum amount of site data. Potential contaminants of concern will be identified during the historical file review, but it i...

Summary: Peel Plateau and Plain, an area with hydrocarbon potential spanning the NWT-Yukon border, lies southwest of the Mackenzie River, north of the Mackenzie Mountains, and east of the Richardson Mountains. A primary objective of this project is to expand geoscience knowledge to aid in informed land use decisions, as well as stimulate petroleum exploration, industry investment, and economic development ...

Summary: The purpose of this project at the Tuktoyaktuk Base Camp is to sample soil, surface water and groundwater in the area; sample and characterize materials in Seacans; investigate and characterize landfill waste; investigate soil impact, residual fluids in tanks, and potential historical spill areas – as well as inspect the docks and assess the condition of infrastructure. Imperial Oil intends to dec...

Summary: The purpose of this project is to conduct debris clean up and further environmental assessment of the drilling sumps at the Taglu D-43 and G-33 well sites, as a follow-up to the 2004 limited investigation to confirm sump contents are appropriately contained. Furthermore, at the G-33 site, previously reported hydrocarbon stained soil will be removed and debris will be cleaned up at the Ivik J-26 we...

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...
