Summary: A new 156 km winter road is proposed, extending from the end of the Ingraham Trail to Lockhart Lake, following a route similar to that of the existing winter road. The objective is to acquire airborne digital imagery (including LiDAR and digital video) data to produce maps; to determine fish presence/absence in streams around the route and fish utilization of habitat, to determine potential fish h...

Summary: Several biophysical and engineering studies on the feasibility of a pipeline in the Mackenzie Valley have been conducted, and will continue in 2007. Local knowledge, scientific research, and existing technical information are being used to develop a knowledge base for environmental protection plans, engineering design and regulatory processes. Route and site reconnaissance will be performed by...

Summary: Several environmental and engineering studies were conducted between 2001 and 2006 to assess a proposed pipeline in the Mackenzie Valley. These studies will continue in 2007 and 2008. Route and site reconnaissance will be by helicopter, and crews will land at selected sites based on observations made during the flight. Reconnaissance surveys of road-water crossings will be performed. Pipeline-...

Summary: The objective of this program is to ground-truth (survey) routes and collect topographical and meteorological information relating to proposed access roads. Winter access roads will go to the Parsons Lake North pad from Tuktoyaktuk and from the mouth of Pete's Creek. The all season roads will go from the north pad to the gravel resource and to the airstrip, as well as the airstrip itself. Snow ...

Summary: Forty-four sites will be monitored during the course of the project: four sites in Gwich'in Settlement Area, twenty-two sites in the Sahtu Settlement Area and eighteen sites in the Deh Cho Region. Preferred locations will be chosen near existing highway/winter roads or the existing pipeline, trail and cutlines, for continuous site accessibility and to minimize disturbance to the environment. One o...
