Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5047. The objective of the study is to determine environmental conditions (in particular metal concentrations) and to compare existing conditions on and near the Rail Bed to background. The proposed field program will focus on collecting information that is considered critical for completing a human health and ecological ri...

Summary: The objective of the 2013 Great Slave Lake Mines Sampling Program is to assist Aboriginal And Northern Development Canada-Contaminants And Remediation Directorate (AANDC-CARD) with its ongoing work to clean up abandoned mine sites across the Northwest Territories. The program aims to collect additional environmental data which will be used to confirm current site conditions and to assist with fina...

Summary: The main objective of the Phase III Environmental Site Assessment is to delineate the hydrocarbon contamination at the site resulting from an overflow of fuel at a vent pipe of an above ground storage tank. Test holes will be excavated with a backhoe around the former spill area in order to collect soil samples. Each sample will be submitted to a Canadian Association for Laboratory Accreditatio...

Licensed Year(s): 2013
Summary: The purpose of each Phase I/II Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) is to determine the current environmental and physical conditions at each site to allow for the potential future development of the appropriate remediation or risk management strategies and costs. This will include the identification and quantification of environmental impacts to all media including soil, sediment, surface water a...

Licensed Year(s): 2012
Summary: The objective of this research project is to conduct Phase II Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) at six locations located within the Northwest Territories (NT). The purpose of field investigations at Caribou Point, Crestaurum Mine, Sun-Rose Claim Group, Thompson-Lundmark Mine, Wrigley Point, and Dome Lake is to determine the current environmental and physical conditions at each site and to red...

Licensed Year(s): 2012 2011
Summary: The assessment is designed to delineate the horizontal and vertical extent of uranium contaminated soil at sites located along the Great Bear River portion of the Northwest Transportation Route (NTR). The soil quality and quantity information gathered during this assessment is required to assist in the development of future remediation plans for this segment of the NTR. The proposed tasks are a...

Summary: Oil and gas exploration activities took place on Prince Patrick Island in the 1970s, including the drilling of wellsite Panarctic Satellite F-68 at Satellite Bay. These activities resulted in the known abandonment of structures, debris and environmental concerns at Satellite Bay including one large garage and two small trailers; several burn pits and burnt material; a “dilapidated garage” on an a...

Principal Investigator: Farrell, Rory
Licensed Year(s): 2009
Summary: The objectives of this project are to characterize and delineate potential contaminants of concern at the Site, determine volumes of Hazardous Materials at the Site and identify potential borrow sources for landfilling at the Site (if necessary). A remedial action plan will then be developed outlining the most environmental, and cost effective method to restore the Site to its natural condition. ...

Principal Investigator: Hadley, Katherine
Licensed Year(s): 2009
Summary: The purpose of the Phase II ESAs is to further determine the current environmental and physical conditions at 10 sites along the Canol Trail and to reduce data gaps and allow development of the appropriate remediation strategies and costs. This will include the identification and quantification of environmental impacts to soil, sediment, surface water and groundwater, as well as the identificatio...

Summary: This licence is being issued for the scientific research application # 845. SENES will be carrying out the sampling for the Contaminants and Remediation Directorate (CARD) of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) at the abandoned Great Bear Lake mine sites in the Sahtu region. Sampling will be taken to determine remediation objectives for metal concentrations in soil. The ultimate objectiv...
