Summary: The objectives of the research studies are the following: refine understanding of baseline conditions; provide input to design mitigation; evaluate potential changes in the environment in relation to the Izok Project; and contribute to the ongoing data collection of the Arctic environment. The Minerals and Metals Group (MMG) Canada team of environmental consultants will collect and review exist...

Summary: The objective of this research project is to assess the sediment quality of Baker Creek. This will be achieved by analyzing factors influencing arsenic mobility from sediments to overlying water and assessing the toxicology of the sediments using exposure tests on indicator organisms. Core samples of Baker Creek sediments will be taken by the researchers using aluminum pipes driven into the gro...

Summary: The main objective of the present study is to characterize site conditions to fulfill specific requirements of federal regulations. These studies will include fish, fish habitat, benthic macroinvertebrates, sediment and water quality sampling. Study areas will include locations both exposed and unexposed to mine effluent. The purpose of these surveys is to characterize environmental conditions ...

Principal Investigator: Warren, Randall
Licensed Year(s): 2006
Summary: The purpose of the proposed study is to examine twenty-two historic well sites within the Inuvialuit Settlement Region, eight of which are located within the Kendall Island Bird Sanctuary. Investigations on six of the twenty-two sites will comprise geophysical surveys, and collection of benthic invertebrates, soil sediment, surface water samples, soil invertebrates and arthropods and plant tissue....

Principal Investigator: Dube, Monique G
Licensed Year(s): 2006
Summary: The objectives of this research are three-fold: 1) to determine the natural variability of benthic invertebrate and fish communities at sites free of human impact; 2) to determine any changes in these due to mining activity relevant to regional variability; and 3) to establish dose response relationships and critical thresholds for stressors including mine effluent, ammonia, a hydrocarbon indicato...

Principal Investigator: Rempel, Laura L
Licensed Year(s): 2006 2005
Summary: This project will characterize sediment transport processes, including bed scour and fine sediment deposition, in a sub-arctic stream intersected by the proposed Mackenzie Gas Pipeline. The study will meet five objectives: to characterize bed sediment texture; determine bed and suspended sediment transport rates during spring flooding; measure depth of bed scour during spring flooding; measure ne...

Licensed Year(s): 2005 2004 2003 2002
Summary: From 2001 to 2004, aquatics studies were done in the Niglintgak, Taglu and Parsons Lake lease areas and along the proposed gathering pipeline. In addition, aquatic studies at proposed infrastructure sites and borrow pits were initiated in 2004. The 2005 studies are a continuation of the work done in previous years. The work will include additional investigations into fish and fish habitat, hydrolo...

Summary: As part of the Mackenzie Valley Gas Project, baseline aquatic studies in the Gwich’in Settlement Area (GSA) will continue in 2005. The work will include additional investigations into fish, hydrology and water quality in rivers and lakes previously visited, as well as summer and fall aquatics studies of waterbodies near the infrastructure sites, access roads, and borrow pits. All of the aquati...

Summary: Fortune Minerals is considering an expanded exploration program on the NICO property, which will include building an all-weather access road. This program will require environmental baseline surveys to augment existing information on species and habitat...

Principal Investigator: Halliwell, Douglas
Licensed Year(s): 2004
Summary: The objectives of this program are; 1) to characterize baseline water, sediment, and benthic invertebrate conditions in one experimental lake (Parsons Lake) and two control lakes near the Mackenzie Gas Project's (MGP) Parsons Lake Anchor Site; 2) to cho...
