Summary: To survey a representative sample of the entire length of the Old Airport Road (i.e. disturbed areas) for invasive species and rare plants. Rare plant surveys will be conducted in accordance with the Alberta Native Plant Council (ANPC) guidelines (ANPC 2012) and the Golder Technical Procedures for Rare Plant and Rare Community Surveys. Surveys will be performed when potential rare species are m...

Summary: The three objectives of this project are to: 1) document baseline conditions of vegetation communities and rare plant species present at the High Point site; 2) evaluate potential Project-related effects on rare plants, traditional use plants and vegetation communities within the High Point site; and, 3) develop mitigation measures to minimize or eliminate potential Project-related effects to ...

Principal Investigator: MacDonald, Alan R
Licensed Year(s): 2018
Summary: The primary objective of the research is to gather environmental and geotechnical baseline information as part of a feasibility study for a future development. The field studies include 4 environmental studies; an archaeology/heritage study; and 2 engineering studies as follows: fisheries studies to identify fish/habitats in a local creek; hydrology studies to determine stream size, flow and basic...

Licensed Year(s): 2012
Summary: The objective of this research project is to conduct fieldwork to determine the population size, distribution, and habitat of Nahanni Aster. Fieldwork will involve helicopter access to hotspring habitats. Presence/absence of Nahanni Aster will be recorded, stems counts will be conducted, and habitat and potential threats will be described. There are possible opportunities to promote the Nahanni a...

Principal Investigator: Miller, Glenn D
Licensed Year(s): 2008
Summary: The objective of this research is to identify and document valued vegetation components in the vicinity of proposed winter activities. Each selected site will be assessed for important vegetation components, such as the potential for: rare plants and vegetation communities. The research will include photo documentation and visual observations to characterize each site for vegetation features. Inf...

Principal Investigator: Graf, Linda H
Licensed Year(s): 2007 2006
Summary: The objective of the vegetation study is to continue to record baseline information on lichen health and productivity which may then be used to monitor impacts as a result of construction and operation activities in the proposed Parsons Lake development area. These studies are a continuation of those conducted previously in summer and fall of 2006. The study will link to caribou monito...

Principal Investigator: Oldham, Micheal
Licensed Year(s): 2006
Summary: Indigenous rare plants exist in the NWT, including in parts of the Mackenzie Mountains and the Beaufort Sea coast (especially in areas that were not glaciated). Alien species may be spreading along roads. There are 94 species of alien plants, transported to the territories by human activity. Surveys pf alien and rare plants will be conducted along roads in the North, South Slave and DehCho reg...

Principal Investigator: Hoos, Rick
Licensed Year(s): 2006
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...

Principal Investigator: Povey, Andrew
Licensed Year(s): 2005 2004 2003 2002
Summary: During this study, activities conducted will include vegetation mapping, rare plant surveys, rare plant mitigation planning, timber cruising, and landform, soil and permafrost investigations. Vegetation mapping surveys will consist of visual observations from a helicopter to confirm vegetation types for mapping. These surveys will be conducted in conjuction with rare plant surveys. Sampling equi...

Licensed Year(s): 2005 2004 2003 2002
Summary: The 2005 terrestrial studies in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR) will include vegetation classification, rare plant surveys, and landform, soil and permafrost investigations. The studies will be conducted by three- or four-person crews supported by helicopter and based in Inuvik. A local assistant will be hired as part of each survey team. Air calls from a helicopter will be used to map ...
