Principal Investigator: Moore, Peter
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: Fish will be collected and released live using seining and electro-fishing techniques. Data collection will also include flow monitoring. All assessments will be completed on watercourses within the Misery Road, Sable Lake Road and Fox Lake Road developments within the mine site. BHP will provide support staff which will include people hired locally....

Summary: This program is a detailed assessment of the created/enhanced habitat at Frank Channel, based on fish use and function in comparison with habitat design targets. Habitat monitoring will require seasonal assessments within the open water period at times associated with the targeted fish's life stages (Northern Pike). During early spring, mid summer and late summer, Frank Channel habitat will be m...

Principal Investigator: Thomas, Craig J
Licensed Year(s): 1998
Summary: This study is to identify existing habitat characteristics of the potential and existing stream and pond crossings of the Highway #3 reconstruction project. Field studies will involve the identification of fish habitat characteristics, the potential identification of present fish species in those systems that suggest fish habitat is present by using seine netting techniques. Background data search...

Principal Investigator: Kalich, Laura
Licensed Year(s): 1996
Summary: The work will include seven aspects of research. Water quality will be done through a number of sampling locations at different times of the year. A hydrology study will measure high water discharge and stage measurements at seven streams in the vicinity of the proposed all-weather road. Bathymetric surveys will conducted on lex lake and six smaller un-named lakes in the vicinity of the propos...

Principal Investigator: Lingnau, Brian
Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: To make qualitative and quantitative observations of the performance of the Dempster Highway and to suggest design improvements. Observations include cut/fill slope sloughing, permafrost, degradation from highway fills. Cuts, bridges and culverts, borrow pit degradation, road trafficability, road heave and subsidence and drainage disruption....

Principal Investigator: Nieminen, G.A.
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To undertake environmental field studies relating tothe environmental assessment of a mine/mill development and a winterd access road. The studies will include fisheries studies, vegetation identification, soil sampling, and wildlife habitat assessment....

Principal Investigator: McLaughlin, Ronald
Licensed Year(s): 1978
Summary: To study the effect linear developments (roads, pipelines and seismic lines) have on the northern ecosystems by: (1) documenting changes to the vegetation and terrain and comparing these areas with undistrubed areas. (2) selecting vegetation sample sites for next year's program. (3) sampling fish, small aquatic organisms ...

Principal Investigator: Bouckhout, Leo W.
Licensed Year(s): 1978
Summary: (1) To survey native grasses, legumes and shrubs and evaluate their usefulness for revegetating disturbed areas. (2) To conduct fish counts, collect water samples for chemical data determination and prepare descriptions of all water crossings....

Principal Investigator: Grey, Bryan J.
Licensed Year(s): 1978
Summary: 1. To obtain relative sediment loadings in the Liard River and the Mackenzie River above and below its junction with the Liard. 2. To measure spring and summer flow patterns in the Liard River at several sites along the propsoed Liard higway....

Principal Investigator: Quinlan, Richard
Licensed Year(s): 1977
Summary: To conduct an impact study on the influence of highway construction on the envrionment....
