Principal Investigator: Blowes, David W.
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5779. The overall goals of the four projects proposed within Phase 1 are to: 1. Provide an enhanced understanding of the physical and geochemical properties of the roaster waste 2. Screen for potentially viable remediation alternatives that may warrant additional research (e.g., long-term laboratory experiments, pilot-s...

Principal Investigator: Gammon, Paul R
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5551. The overall objective of the research is to eventually determine the environmental chemistry of the elevated metal concentrations, which will in turn determine the environmental risk that these measured concentrations pose (i.e. will answer, at least in part, the questions: do these sites require remediation, and in w...

Principal Investigator: Palmer, Mike
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5531. The overarching objective of this program is to take an ecosystem approach to assessing how multiple environmental stressors impact aquatic habitats in subarctic shield terrain. There are three central activities that will be undertaken with this license and they are designed to address the specific objectives below: ...

Principal Investigator: Doig, Lorne
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4988. The objectives of this project are to determine: 1) From the outer Slave River Delta (SRD) (river-water dominated) to the apex of the SRD (runoff dominated), what the current status of nutrients and contaminants in SRD wetland ecosystems are; 2) How trace elements (e.g., mercury) move through SRD wetland food webs; an...

Principal Investigator: Kelly, Holly
Licensed Year(s): 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4568. The study will document natural variations in the surface water conditions within the Exploration License (EL 494) area and monitor potential impact of oil and gas exploration activities. Surface Water Quality Sample Collection: Surface water samples will be collected from selected sampling locations targeted near...

Principal Investigator: Gammon, Paul R
Licensed Year(s): 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4544. The objectives of this research are: 1) To investigate the environmental chemistry of the borrow pits and immediate surrounding areas to determine what, if any, environmental risk do the elevated concentrations represent; 2) To investigate the environmental chemistry of an undisturbed area around the Inuvik to Tukto...

Principal Investigator: Drolet, Andree
Licensed Year(s): 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4582. These studies are to support upcoming regulatory applications for the Pine Point Project being developed by Pine Point Mining Limited (PPML). The additional baseline studies include but are not limited to surface water quality and quantity, groundwater water quality, aquatic environment monitoring, fish and fish ha...

Principal Investigator: Miller, Matthew
Licensed Year(s): 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4565. The objective of this project is to conduct Aquatic Effects Monitoring. This will include three parts: 1) Riparian Habitat and Fish Usage Assessment. This is a study to monitor the trends and fluctuations of the aquatic environment along the riparian zones within the Taltson River from Nonacho Lake to Twin Gorges ...

Principal Investigator: Wells, David A
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022 2021 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001
Summary: The objective of this project is to revisit fixed sample stations at near-field, mid-field and far-field sites over the course of the year in an effort to determine any seasonal variation that may exist and confirm impact predictions. The Aquatic Effects Monitoring Program (AEMP) Version 3.5 will consist of the following components; Traditional Ecological Knowledge, Dust Deposition; Effluent an...

Principal Investigator: Campbell, Joseph W
Licensed Year(s): 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014
Summary: Follow-up on exploration activity associated with Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board land use permit MV2014C0005 on Terrax Minerals Inc. City of Yellowknife Gold Project. Work would include initial environmental baseline work, and expansion of research programs to establish sufficient study for possible future Environmental Impact Assessment of potential mine development if exploration activiti...
