Licensed Year(s): 2021
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...

Principal Investigator: Nyman, Jeff
Licensed Year(s): 2013
Summary: The objective of this program is to determine the environmental and physical conditions at nine sites on Gordon Lake. This will include the identification and quantification of environmental impacts in soil, sediment, surface water and groundwater, and the identification of any hazardous or non-hazardous materials. In addition, samples of biota (including vegetation, fish, benthic invertebrates) m...

Summary: Evidence of contaminants was found in soil, groundwater and surface water at the site during investigations in 2008, 2010 and 2011. The objective of the project is to remediate the abandoned wellsite by containing and stabilizing contaminated materials in an on-site landfill, and remove debris and solid waste from the site. Talisman is proposing a two-year approach to complete the Project. Year...

Principal Investigator: Beilman, David W
Licensed Year(s): 2013
Summary: The research team seek to understand carbon dynamics during warm climate intervals in the Arctic: the Holocene Thermal Maximum (HTM) the warmest pre-industrial interval ranging in timing from 10 ka (thousands of years before present) with maximum seasonality to 6 ka with reduced seasonality, and the Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA) at ~1 ka with similar seasonality as today. By studying peat cores f...

Licensed Year(s): 2012
Summary: The objective of this research is to take specific samples for the completion of a remedial action plan and risk assessment for the Five Mine Sites. The field component of the project will be conducted over a two day period. Limited soil and mine tailing samples from the most contaminated areas of the site will be taken. These areas were previously identified in past environmental site asses...

Principal Investigator: Winch, Susan
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...
