    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.

The proposed Project will involve the development of 18 borrow sources and related facilities (i.e., along Highways 3, 5 and 6 (Figure 1). In early 2016, a desktop Archaeological Overview Assessment (AOA) was completed for the initial comprehensive program of proposed GNWT DOT borrow sources, associated with highways 1, 3, 5, 6 and 7. The AOA report was submitted to the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre (PWNHC), with recommendations for the completion of a targeted AIA for all areas of high archaeological site potential.

  • Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation: Case Studies of Roads in Northern Canada
    CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS AND ADAPTATION: CASE STUDIES OF ROADS IN NORTHERN CANADA Robyn V. McGregor, M.Sc., P.Eng., Senior Transportation Engineer and Principal Consultant Masood Hassan, Ph.D., P.Eng., Senior Transportation Engineer Don Hayley, P.Eng., FEIC, Director - Arctic Resource Development EBA Engineering Consultants Ltd. Paper prepared for presentation at the “Climate Change and the Design and Management of Sustainable Transportation” Session of the 2008 Annual Conference of the Transportation Association of Canada Toronto, Ontario 1 ABSTRACT Access to communities and resource developments in northern Canada often relies on a single all-weather or winter road. Warming trends in recent years can put these indispensable access routes at risk by impacting road structures that overlie permafrost, and by shortening the duration of winter roads built on ice or seasonally frozen ground. This paper presents two case studies of all-weather and winter roads in northern Canada to describe the issues pertaining to the impacts of climate change and the adaptation strategies that have been or are being implemented to cope with the impacts. 1. The Yellowknife Highway (NWT Highway 3) reconstruction. The design addressed those features of embankment performance over the long term that represent the greatest risk of uncontrolled maintenance and safety. The following features were adopted to mitigate climate change effects and retard the rate of thaw: a. The core of the embankment comprises a minimum of 2 metres of quarried rockfill, providing internal strength to even out future settlements; b. A sacrificial shoulder and flat sideslopes were provided on the embankment as it was recognized that the permafrost soils supporting the slopes would be the first to thaw; c.

  • 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.
