Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5785. To revisit fixed sample stations at near-field, mid-field and far-field sites over the course of the year in an effort to determine any seasonal variation that may exist and confirm Environmental Assessment (EA) impact predictions. The AEMP Version 6.1 will consist of the following components: traditional ecologic...

Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5773. This research project has two objectives: 1) determine if installing an aerator in Frame Lake, Yellowknife, NT, will increase dissolved oxygen levels in the lake such that fish can be reintroduced; 2) if objective 1 proves successful, transfer fish into Frame Lake and monitor growth and reproduction to determine if t...

Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5691. The objectives of this project are to add baseline water quality and fish data for the Slave River at Fort Smith and for the Fort Smith Métis Council (FSMC) and Northwest Territory Métis Nation (NWTMN) to lead this work. Fort Smith community members have expressed concerns about cumulative effects on the transboundar...

Principal Investigator: Chin, Krista
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5647. The main objective of this research project is to further inform the story of how cumulative effects impact lake systems in the Yamba River basin. The research team intends to accomplish this by collecting benthic macroinvertebrates in 70 lakes in the Yamba River basin to compliment water quality data that were colle...

Principal Investigator: van der Sanden, Joost J.
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5480. This project aims to collect field data for use in the development of methods that will enable the application of images from Canada’s RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) to the mapping and monitoring of river and lake ice properties and processes. The research team expect the fieldwork to take place on approximat...

Principal Investigator: Palombi, Dan
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5382. There is limited knowledge of groundwater resources in the Alberta-Northwest Territories transboundary basins. Hydrogeological information to delineate transboundary groundwater is scarce and aquifers in this area have not been fully defined and mapped. The primary and long-term goal of the research project is to cont...

Principal Investigator: Dekuysscher, Robert
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4946. The objective is to conduct water monitoring to ensure that the project is overall compliant with the environmental permit and approval conditions and requirements. Monitoring at water crossing locations will be required for any in-water construction and where there is potential for entrainment of sediments. This i...

Licensed Year(s): 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4623. The overall objective of this study is improved understanding of heavy metals in Sewage Disposal Facilities (SDFs) and Solid Waste Disposal Facilities (SWDFs) in the NWT. The proposed study aims to answer the following questions: 1) What is the existing treatment capacity of SDFs in NWT for heavy metals?; 2) Are SDFs ...

Principal Investigator: Pacunayen, Jessica L
Licensed Year(s): 2019
Summary: The overarching goal for this project is to understand how decision-making bodies can make the best use of water quality data from pre-existing water monitoring programs collected by various agencies within the Tlicho region now and in the future. In order to achieve this goal, the Principal Investigator (PI) plans to understand how decision-making bodies within the Tlicho region currently use wat...

Principal Investigator: Orcutt, Beth N
Licensed Year(s): 2017 2016 2015
Summary: The focus of this one-year-long project is to collect an additional annual record of methane release from nine different lakes in the Mackenzie Delta and Richards Island area, with a focus on capturing a full ice in/ice out cycle, to determine how much methane is released from lakes under different conditions and how microorganisms increase or decrease methane release. This annual record will allo...
