    Cambridge Bay New Power Plant Project Nunavut Planning Commission ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Project Introduction Qulliq Energy Corporation (QEC) is proposing to construct and operate a new power plant in the Hamlet of Cambridge Bay located in the Kitikmeot Region of Nunavut (the Project). This will be a multi-year Project that will include the installation of a 90,000-liter capacity horizontal fuel tank and two 2 million-liter capacity vertical fuel tanks and the new power plant will use more fuel-efficient engines. The plant will generate less noise and exhaust gases, due to the availability of equipment like industrial scrubbers and hospital grade silencers which will substantially reduce sound and air pollution. The new plant will have a life cycle of over 40 years and will be capable of integrating renewable energy sources. Proponent Information Qulliq Energy Corporation (QEC) is a Government of Nunavut (GN) territorial corporation. Through the operation of 25 stand-alone diesel power plants with a total installed capacity of approximately 76,000 kilowatts, QEC is the sole provider of electricity to approximately 15,000 customers in the territory. QEC provides mechanical, electrical, and line maintenance services from three regional centers: Iqaluit, Rankin Inlet and Cambridge Bay. QECs administrative activities are carried out at the Head Office in Baker Lake and the Corporate Office in Iqaluit. QEC is committed to planning and developing cost effective and efficient ways to provide a safe, reliable and stable energy supply for all Nunavummiut. Project Background Cambridge Bay is a community with increasing demand for electricity, reflecting its growing population and increasing government and commercial enterprise.

  • Annual Report: October 1, 2014 Assessing the Impact of Small, Canadian Arctic River Flows to the Freshwater Budget of the Canadian Archipelago Matthew B
    Annual Report: October 1, 2014 Assessing the impact of small, Canadian Arctic River flows to the freshwater budget of the Canadian Archipelago Matthew B. Alkire, University of Washington Assessing the impact of small, Canadian Arctic river flows to the freshwater budget of the Canadian Archipelago (or SCARFs) is a scientific research project funded by the National Science Foundation (USA). The purpose of this project is to collect water samples from seven different rivers and their adjoining estuaries throughout the Canadian Arctic Archipelago (see Fig. 1) in order to determine whether or not their chemical signatures differ from larger North American rivers such as the Mackenzie and Yukon Rivers. Five of the rivers are located within Nunavut, Canada: the Coppermine River (near Kugluktuk), Ellice River (~140 km southeast of Cambridge Bay), Back River (~180 km southeast of Gjoa Haven), Cunningham River (~77 km southeast of Resolute Bay on Somerset Island), and Kangiqtugaapik River (near Clyde River, Baffin Island). Two of the rivers are located within the Northwest Territories, Canada: the Kujjuua River (located approximately 67 km northeast of Ulukhaktok on Victoria Island) and Thomsen River (specifically near the mouth of the river where it empties into Castel Bay, on Banks Island). Figure 1. Map of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. The red stars indicate the mouths of the rivers sampled during this study: (1) Coppermine R., (2) Ellice R., (3) Back R., (4) Kuujuua R. (Victoria Island), (5) Thomsen R. (Banks Island), (6) Cunningham R. (Somerset Island), and (7) Clyde R. (Baffin Island). The Coppermine, Ellice, and Back Rivers are located on the mainland of Nunavut.

  • Airside Vehicle Operating Permit (AVOP) Student Study Manual
    Airside Vehicle Operating Permit (AVOP) Student Study Manual D Permit This manual applies to the following airports: • Inuvik • Fort Simpson • Fort Smith • Hay River • Norman Wells • Yellowknife March 2021 D AVOP Student Study Manual 1 Introduction The airside of an airport is a specialized working environment governed by specialized rules designed to prevent accidents, avoid property damage and minimize the risk of injury to all persons within it. This manual is a reference source to combine the applicable regulations, rules and procedures related to safe vehicle operation that experience has shown to be most important in the airside working environment. Persons using this manual are reminded that it has no legislative sanction. For purposes of interpreting and applying the law, the Acts and Regulations must be consulted. The requirements contained in this manual apply at the six Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) owned and operated Airports listed on the first page of this manual. The requirements are based on Acts, Regulations, Standards and Procedures for the safe and orderly operation of vehicles on Airport Movement Areas. Airports rely on mutual aid to provide the primary response for aircraft rescue and firefighting. In the case of uncontrolled airports, it is common for local off-airport fire, rescue, and police departments to provide the primary response to emergency situations on the airport. During emergency events the aerodrome may be closed, which would allow unrestricted airside access to responding agencies that do not possess an AVOP. This manual pertains specifically to a “D” Airside Vehicle Operating Permit (AVOP) that would allow the permit holder to operate a vehicle on ALL airport movement surfaces, unless restrictions are specified on the permit.

  • Evaluation of the Effects of Canadian Climatic Conditions on Pavement Performance Using the Mechanistic Empirical Pavement Design Guide
    University of Alberta Evaluation of the Effects of Canadian Climatic Conditions on Pavement Performance Using the Mechanistic Empirical Pavement Design Guide by Jhuma Saha A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Transportation Engineering Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering ©Jhuma Saha Edmonton, Alberta Fall 2011 Permission is hereby granted to the University of Alberta Libraries to reproduce single copies of this thesis and to lend or sell such copies for private, scholarly or scientific research purposes only. Where the thesis is converted to, or otherwise made available in digital form, the University of Alberta will advise potential users of the thesis of these terms. The author reserves all other publication and other rights in association with the copyright in the thesis and, except as herein before provided, neither the thesis nor any substantial portion thereof may be printed or otherwise reproduced in any material form whatsoever without the author's prior written permission. Abstract This thesis attempts to explore the implementation of the Mechanistic Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) in Canada, specifically in Alberta. In order to achieve this goal, quality of Canadian climate data files used for the MEPDG and its effects on flexible pavement performance were evaluated. Results showed that temperature and precipitation data used in the MEPDG are close to Environment Canada data. This study demonstrated that asphalt concrete rutting, total rutting and longitudinal cracking were sensitive to Canadian climate. However, alligator cracking, transverse cracking and International Roughness Index (IRI) were found less sensitive to climatic factors.
