Daniel Roberts Project Manager Northwest Territories Power Corporation Cc: Distribution List 2 MV2009L4-0004 and MV2009X0040 Type A Land Use Permit and Water License Applications Bluefish Dam Replacement Project – Summary of Environmental Management Plans This document summarizes all plans that NTPC has adopted to address environmental aspects of the Bluefish project. The plans in many cases reflect multiple rounds of revision through the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board (“MVLWB”) review process, incorporating comments from intervenors and Board staff. Documents in some cases reflect normal and longstanding NTPC practice and policy (e.g., spill reporting) and in other cases are specific to the Bluefish project. Each of the plans noted below have been adopted by NTPC for this project. Absent further revisions arising from consensus at the MVLWB hearing, NTPC commits to follow the terms and practices of the plans as filed and will similarly direct its contractor on the project to similarly follow suit. For clarity, the terms of the below noted plans will govern all activities on the project, whether occurring pursuant to the proposed Type A Water Licence, the proposed Type A Land Use Permit, or the existing Lease. 1.

Examining Committee Octavian Catuneanu, Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences Jack Lerbekmo, Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences Pamela R Willoughby, Department of Anthropology ABSTRACT Bad Heart Formation oolitic ironstone is the largest resources of iron in western Canada. During this study, 45 new sections from outcrop, trench and drill holes were mapped, and 325 samples were collected for petrographic and geochemical analysis. The objective of the first paper is to refine the previously published stratigraphic model based on the new data. The second paper deals with geochemistry and discuss genesis of ooids and source of iron in oolitic ironstone.

North Central Corridor Loop Project North Corridor Expansion Project and the Ongoing Operation of NGTL North Central Pipeline System November 2019 Prepared by Matthew General for the Duncan’s First Nations 1 Following the completion and transmittal of this report the DFN will release two supporting and supplementary reports. The second report, authored by the DFN, will highlight DFN community member observations related to the barriers, restricts, constraints and stressors flowing from land use allocation and development that in their view, prevents or restricts their ability to find and procure large game. A third report, to be authored by the ALCES Group, will present quantitative information, analyses and mapping that can be used to clarify and test DFN’s observations presented in the second report. This report, as all forms of research, represents an incremental step towards the gaining of understanding and knowledge based on facts. The DFN understands and supports the notion that knowledge is never absolute or that not all things can be known about a phenomenon at any given time. As DFN’s ancestors understood, knowledge is gained through observation, thinking about what is observed, developing ideas based on those observations, investigating further and taking reasoned action. It is that ongoing process of the acquisition and application of knowledge that allowed the DFN’s ancestors to make informed choices and actions which allowed them to survive through the Millenia and supported DFN families into the present.

  • Streamflow Is Changing in Rivers Across Alberta: Assessing Regional Variation in Changing Hydrologic Indices
    Streamflow is changing in rivers across Alberta: assessing regional variation in changing hydrologic indices by William Kyle Hamilton A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Wildlife Ecology and Management Department of Renewable Resources University of Alberta © William Kyle Hamilton, 2020 Abstract The flow regime is a crucial factor in the well-being of aquatic and riparian ecosystems. Many components of those ecosystems, ranging for nutrient transport to morphology, are impacted by various hydrologic parameters. The parameters help define and quantify five important hydrologic regime characteristics: magnitude, duration, timing, frequency, and rate of change. Our study utilized the Indicators of Hydrologic Alteration (IHA) indices to (1) determine how various ecologically relevant components of streamflow are changing across Alberta’s various natural regions; and (2) examine the similarities and differences between streamflow trends and climate trends. The overarching goal of these objectives is to create a foundation upon which water management practices can be created or modified. Region-specific water management is required to balance the residential, commercial, and industrial water needs of a particular region with ecological concerns and conservation initiatives. Understanding the trends in hydrologic parameters is an important step in recognizing the vulnerabilities of each region. Streamflow at Water Survey of Canada stations was assessed for linear trends using a Mann-Kendall Trend Analysis. Our approach of assessing overall trends on a regional basis was validated when looking at trends in magnitude. The average daily flow rate for spring and summer months was found to be decreasing in the Boreal Natural Region but increasing in the Grassland Natural Region.
