  • Health Canada Comments
    February 19, 2010 To Lisa Dyer Project Manager Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) Greenstone Building Suite 420, 4th Floor, 5101-50th Ave P.O. Box 518 Yellowknife, NT X1A 2N4 Re: Health Canada Review of the Supporting Document N1 Tier 2 Risk Assessment, Giant Mine Remediation Plan (SENES, 2006) (The Report) Dear Ms. Dyer: Thank you very much for the opportunity to review and comment on the above mentioned report in support of the Giant Mine Remediation Plan. Health Canada Alberta region (HC-AB) recognizes the complexity associated with the historical land uses of the Giant Mine site (“the site”) area and thanks PWGSC for coordinating the review process of this remediation project under Federal Contaminated Sites Action Plan (FCSAP) program. HC-AB understands that the Giant Mine Remediation project is in the Environmental Assessment (EA) stage. Please note, under FCSAP program, HC-AB Contaminated Sites Division provides the following comments based on our review of the above report. General Comments: 1. On June 06, 2005, Health Canada forwarded comments to INAC based on the review of the December 2004 version of the Tier II Risk Assessment Report where five key issues were identified: (i) Toxicity Reference Endpoints; (ii) Receptor Characteristics ;(iii) Bioaccessibility of Arsenic in Soils;(iv) Risk Characterization and, (v) Conclusions. 2. Please note, an overall update of the risk assessment report may be necessary based on the additional environmental and site specific chemical datasets (if available since 2005-2006) to effectively evaluate and assess site specific exposure scenarios, and to modify and characterize human health risks (if applicable) and to further utilize updated results of sensitivity analysis during the discussions and scoping of the future risk management plans, overall remedial decisions and future sensitive land use discussion phases of the project.

  • Mackenzie Highway Extension, for Structuring EIA Related Field Investigations and for Comparative Assessment of Alternate Routes
    D. Mackenzie Valley Highway Extension D.1 Consultations An initial Stakeholder Workshop was held in Norman Wells on June 8, 1998. The workshop was attended by approximately 60 stakeholders and generated considerable discussion on the need-for, and benefits-of, an all-weather road. A meeting with the Sahtu Secretariat and the Sahtu Regional Land Corporation Presidents was held on November 12, 1998. The group reviewed the Terms of Reference for Environmental Scoping and Benefit Cost Studies. The Terms of Reference were also sent to other stakeholders invited to participate on the Advisory Committee. In December the Department established an Advisory Committee for this project consisting of 25 individuals representing a wide variety of interest groups and organizations. The Department has kept this committee informed of the status of projects, and held a meeting on March 17, 1999 in Norman Wells. A list of the committee members is provided below.

  • Neighbour News
    Fall 2018 Neighbour news Operation update - restart underway Imperial is planning to restart production at the Norman Wells operation following the return to service of the Enbridge pipeline, which transports oil produced at the site to market. It is expected that the field will restart in October. Enbridge replaced a section of the pipeline that runs under the Mackenzie River near Fort Simpson as a precaution. Construction was completed in August, with testing and final start-up work completed through September. “The Norman Wells operation is restarting after a nearly two-year shutdown,” said Kevin Gant, operations superintendent. “During this time, we worked to maintain the safety and integrity of these facilities. I am very proud of the dedication and hard work by our employees and contractors to achieve this goal.” A community celebration is being planned after the restart to mark this milestone. Over 100 employees and contractors are working at the facility, a return to Wade Charney and Brad Menacho, Northern Development Program trainees from the Sahtu, are supporting the normal levels for day-to-day operations. Imperial has hired three Northern Norman Wells operation. Development Program trainees from the Sahtu to support the operation. “We appreciate the support of the local community and Sahtu groups during this extended shutdown,” said Gant. “During this time, Imperial has maintained community investment and scholarship programs and the return to regular operations will increase local economic benefits, including suppliers and service industries.” National Indigenous Peoples Day Imperial was a proud sponsor of National Indigenous Peoples Day in Norman Wells on June 21.

Box 130, Norman Wells, NT, Canada X0E 0V0 RICHARD POPKO, Department of Resources, Wildlife & Economic Development, P.O. Box 130, Norman Wells, NT, Canada X0E 0V0 Abstract: Mountain goats (Oreamnos americanus) are the least studied ungulate species that occurs in the Northwest Territories. The distribution of goats in the territory – both historically and at present - is limited to the lower half of the 130,000 km2 Mackenzie Mountains between the Yukon-NWT border and the east edge of the range, including a portion of Nahanni National Park Reserve. Due to the limited annual harvest of goats and the extremely high cost for doing research in this remote region - few surveys to estimate size of mountain goat populations have occurred in the Mackenzie Mountains. Biologists working with federal and territorial wildlife agencies, Parks Canada, and private environmental consulting companies have sporadically collected limited information about mountain goats during the course of studies on other species in the Mackenzies since 1966. In 2001, we interviewed each of the 8 outfitters licenced to provide services to non-resident hunters in the Mackenzie Mountains to document their knowledge about mountain goat distribution and estimated numbers in their zones.

We are pleased to submit this report for your consideration. The review has led to the conclusion that before the Norman Wells Project can be built within acceptable limits of environmental and socio-economic impact, important deficiencies in the Propo- nents' planning and in the preparedness of government need to be rectified. The Panel therefore recommends that the project not be proceeded with until 1982 at the earliest, in order that these deficiencies can be dealt with.

Papers THE CHARACTERISTICS OF SOME PERMAFROST SOILS INTHE MACKENZIE VALLEY, N.W.T.* I J. H. Day and H. M. Rice* Introduction OILS in the tundra and subarctic regions of Canada were first described S in 1939 whenFeustel and others analyzed samples from northern Quebec, Keewatin and Franklin districts. More recently McMillan (1960), Beschel (1961) andLajoie (1954) describedsoils in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago and in northern Quebec. In the western part of the Northwest Territories only one profile (Leahey 1947) has been described under tundra vegetation, although other soils under forest, mostly unaffected by perma- frost,have been described (Leahey 1954, Dayand Leahey 1957, Wright et al. 1959). In Alaska, Tedrow and Hill (1955), Drew and Tedrow (1957), Tedrow et al. (1958),Douglas andTedrow (1960), Hill and Tedrow (1961) and Tedrow and Cantlon (1958) described several groups of soils, weathering processes, and concepts of soilformation and classification in thearctic environment. At least some of the kinds of soil they described in Alaska occur in Canada in a similar environment. This study was undertaken to investigate the characteristics of soils in a permafrost region under different typesof vegetation. The lower Mackenzie River valley is within the area of continuous permafrost (Brown 1960) and both tundra and boreal forest regions are readily accessible from the river.
