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 northern 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 as...

Summary: This study will provide baseline data for uranium levels and contribute data to an on-going Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) study that is investigating mercury levels in Fort Good Hope burbot (Loshe). Thirty fish representing three size/age classes will be collected by the Fort Good Hope (FGH) Renewable Resources Council (RRC). The samples will be sent to reputable laboratories that sp...
