    Proposed Tłı̨chǫ All-Season Road Executive Summary March 2016

    Proposed Tłı̨chǫ All-season Road Executive Summary March 2016 Proposed Tłı̨ chǫ All-season Road Project Description Report March 2016 Department of Transportation i Proposed Tłı̨chǫ All-season Road Executive Summary March 2016 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This project description report (PDR) has been written to accompany the Type A Land Use Permit and Type B Water Licence applications to the Wekʼèezhìı Land and Water Board (WLWB) for development of the proposed T ł ı̨ c h ǫ All-season Road (TASR). These applications are being submitted by the Department of Transportation of the Government of the Northwest Territories (DOT – GNWT). The T ł ı̨ c h ǫ Government supports these applications. This project has been identified as a GNWT commitment under the Proposed Mandate of the Government of the Northwest Territories 2016-2019 (GNWT 2016). Over the years, DOT and T ł ı̨ c h ǫ Government have contemplated the possibility of improved transportation to the Wekʼèezhìı area. In 2011, both governments became reengaged under the T ł ı̨ c h ǫ Roads Steering Committee (TRSC) in order to assess the feasibility, desirability and implications of realigning the T ł ı̨ c h ǫ Winter Road System to provide improved community access. As of May 2013, the vision of the TRSC has been to pursue development of an all-season road. The route would end at the boundary of the community government of Whatì and predominantly follow ‘Old Airport Road,’ an existing overland alignment that was utilized up until the late 1980s as an overland winter road. The proposed TASR is defined as an all-season road approximately 94 km in length and 60 m in width with a cleared driving surface of approximately 8.5 m in width in order to accommodate a two lane gravel road with culverts and/or double lane bridges over water crossings as necessary.

Global economies are changing, new markets are growing, and international focus is shifting north – and we are poised to take full advantage of this incredible opportunity. Our vast natural resource base continues to provide the backbone to our territorial economy and provide opportunities to our residents. The NWT exports approximately $3 billion in diamonds and oil annually. However, signifi cant potential remains. Last year industry bid over $500 million in the Sahtu Region for land parcels that will be explored for oil potential. The rugged, pristine and isolated nature of the Northwest Territories is also a perfect fi t for the large and growing international tourism market – tourism contributes $100 million annually to our economy, and, like our resource industry, it is on the brink of tremendous growth. Our smaller industries are also capitalizing on the unique Northern setting.
  • Mapping Known and Potential Karst Areas in the Northwest Territories, Canada

    Mapping Known and Potential Karst Areas in the Northwest Territories, Canada

    Mapping Known and Potential Karst Areas in the Northwest Territories, Canada Derek Ford, PGeo., PhD, FRSC. Emeritus Professor of Geography and Earth Sciences, McMaster University [email protected] For: Environment and Natural Resources, Government of the Northwest Territories August 2009 (i) Executive Summary The Goal of this Report is to Produce Maps of the Known and Potential Karst Landform Sites in the Northwest Territories (NWT) Karst landforms are those created by the dissolution of comparatively soluble rocks and the routing of the water (from rain or snowmelt) underground via caves rather than at the surface in river channels. The principal karst rocks are salt (so soluble that it is scarcely seen at the surface in the NWT), gypsum and anhydrite (solubility around 2500 mg/l of water), and limestone and dolomite (solubility around 250 -350 mg/l). All of these rock types are common and widespread amongst the sedimentary strata in the NWT. Surface karst landforms include: a) karren, which are spreads of individually small solution pits, shafts, and runnels that, collectively, may cover many hectares (limestone pavements); b) sinkholes of solutional, collapse, or other origin that can be tens to hundreds of metres in diameter and proportionally as deep. Sinkholes are considered the diagnostic karst landform worldwide; c) larger topographically closed depressions that may flood or drain seasonally, poljes if flat-floored, otherwise turloughs; d) extensive dry valleys and gorges, dry because their formative waters have been captured underground. All water sinking underground via karst landforms of all sizes drain quickly in comparison with all other types of groundwater because they are able to flow through solutionally enlarged conduits, termed caves where they are of enterable size.

This document represents the culmination of 15 years of land use planning with the purpose of protecting and promoting the existing and future well-being of the residents and communities of the Sahtu Settlement Area, having regard for the interests of all Canadians. From its beginnings in 1998, the Board’s early years focused on research, mapping, and public consultations to develop the goals and vision that are the foundation of the plan. From this a succession of 3 Draft Plans were written. Each Plan was submitted to a rigorous review process and refined through public meetings and written comments. This open and inclusive process was based on a balanced approach that considered how land use impacts the economic, cultural, social, and environmental values of the Sahtu Settlement Area. The current board would like to acknowledge the contributions of former board members and staff that helped us arrive at this significant milestone. Also, we would like to extend our gratitude to the numerous individuals and organizations who offered their time, energy, ideas, opinions, and suggestions that shaped the final Sahtu Land Use Plan.
  • Movements and Distribution of the Bathurst and Ahiak Barren-Ground

    Movements and Distribution of the Bathurst and Ahiak Barren-Ground

    Movements and distribution of the Bathurst and Ahiak barren-ground caribou herds 2005 Annual Report Submitted to West Kitikmeot Slave Study Society Submitted By Project Leader Anne Gunn Project Team Adrian D’Hont, Judy Williams Organisation Wildlife Division, Environment and Natural Resources, Government of the Northwest Territories, Yellowknife. 2 Summary: Objectives for 2005 included deploying 10 collars on cows from the Bathurst caribou herd and 10 collars on cows from the Ahiak caribou herd. A reconnaissance survey over the winter range of the Bathurst herd found heavy concentrations of caribou at Lac Grandin southeast to Rae Lakes and then low densities of caribou until east of Yellowknife. Of the 10 collars put on the Bathurst range, three died between April and June and the remaining seven calved on the Bathurst calving ground. Flights over the Ahiak winter range resulted in no caribou seen east of Contwoyto, low concentrations on the Back River and high concentrations east of Artillery Lake and in the Nonacho Lake area. Five collars were deployed east of Artillery Lake and five in the Nonacho Lake area. Of the five collars deployed in the Nonacho Lake area, two caribou migrated to the Bathurst calving ground. The remaining eight collars calved on the Ahiak calving ground. In 2005, in addition to addressing the objectives of the movement and distribution study for individual herds we successfully collared 12 cows from the Bathurst herd and 8 from the Ahiak herd. We also documented overlap in the winter distribution of Ahiak and Bathurst caribou at Nonacho Lake. Acknowledgements: West Kitikmeot Slave Study Society funded the study and we thank the Board for their continued support.

    Background Report

    Sahtu Land Use Planning Board Sahtu Land Use Plan Background Report July 2010 July 2010 Page 1 Sahtu Land Use Plan Background Report: The Sahtu Settlement Area The Sahtu Land Use Plan Background Report The Sahtu Land Use Plan Background Report, from now on referred to as the “Background Report”, is intended to capture some of the main characteristics of the Sahtu Settlement Area (SSA), its people, the culture, special places, the biophysical environment, the economy and the regulatory regime. Above all, the Background Report should help readers better understand the Sahtu and the reports and information that were considered in the development, decisions, and planning that resulted in the Sahtu Land Use Plan (SLUP). Introduction The Sahtu Land Use Plan was written by taking into account the three pillars of sustainability: socio-cultural, economic and ecological factors. These three domains are now commonly considered part of a balanced approach to decision-making. The background report is an attempt to briefly describe some of the social, cultural, economic and ecological factors that the Sahtu Land Use Planning Board (SLUPB) has considered in its decision making. INAC’s Sustainable Development Strategy 2007-2010 describes sustainable communities as those which “enjoy a prosperous economy, a vibrant and just society, and a healthy environment for current and future generations.”1 The Sahtu Land Use Planning Board has sought to develop a balanced plan for the Sahtu Settlement Area (SSA) by considering a diversity of resources under each of the three pillars. A summary of the sources used and a general description of the Sahtu Settlement Area follow.
