Principal Investigator: Reimer, Ken
Licensed Year(s): 1996
Summary: The Environmental Science Group (ESG) has been requested by DND and NWSO to conduct environmental investigations of former DEW Line sites and other military bases in the NWT. Personnel will collect soil, plant, water, paint chips and insulating material for analysis of potential contaminants....

Principal Investigator: Harbicht, Stephen
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: This study will be conducted from Canadian Coat Guard's icebreaker the Perrie Radisson. This study will consist of: a preliminary sidescan sonar survey to determine the distribution of material on the bottom; identification of objects using either a remote operating vehicle or divers in shallow water; and sampling of water, sediment and biota in the vicinity of selected objects. Some objects ide...

Principal Investigator: Johnston, Laura
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: Samples of sediment, water and different marine species such as fish, marine invertebrates (including sea urchins, clams and crabs), and microscopic organisms will be collected by divers from the underwater dumpsite in Cambridge Bay. These samples will be assessed for contaminants such as heavy metals and PCB's. The study is primarily being conducted to determine if the waste materials of the du...

Principal Investigator: Edwards, Thomas W.D.
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The proposed research is part of an ongoing program of hydrological studies in the north aimed at improving our understanding of how water cycles through natural drainage systems. This year, I will examine water evaporation on lakes and ponds that are located on mine sites: results from this research will aid in the design of better tailings impoundments containing mine wastes/contaminants....

Principal Investigator: Heinke, G.W.
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1989
Summary: In co-operation with the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs, the researcher will conduct a random sampling of garbage generated in the selected communities to establish their composition. A questionnaire will be used to gather a hazardous waste inventory. A detailed plan will be for the design and cost estimate of a co-disposal facility will be undertaken....

Principal Investigator: Heeney, Phyllis L.
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: Under the supervision of the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs, Government of the NWT, the researcher will identify quantities, types and locations of hazardous waste generation storage and disposal in the NWT as well as set up useable guidelines for the treatment, collection, storage and disposal of wastes in the Territories....

Principal Investigator: Eamer, Joan
Licensed Year(s): 1989
Summary: The Researcher using a helicopter will travel from the Alaska border to the end of the Tuk peninsula. They will survey the Beaufort Coast for plastic drift waste and report on the types, density and distribution of plastic items along the coast....

Principal Investigator: Smith, D.W.
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To collect small quantities of soil and vegetation from samples plots which are located close to selected well sites including Gulf Oil, SIKU E-21 and Gulf Oil, Parsons D-20. This work is part of a long study on the biological effects of waste spillage from oil drilling....
