The influence of pipeline construction upon aspects of water quality of the Ogilvie and Swift Rivers, Yukon Territory / prepared for Department of the Environment, Inland Water Directorate, Water Quality... : En39-126/1978E-PDF

"Construction of a natural gas pipeline which generally parallels the route of the Alaska Highway across the Yukon Territory is due to commence in the early 1980's. Since this pipeline will cross numerous rivers, streams and creeks, the trenching and backfilling associated with its construction will probably stress each biological aquatic ecosystem through amongst other things (1) increased silt concentrations in waters and on stream bottoms and (2) increased organic and inorganic water loadings. … Thus, the intent of this study was to (1) examine microbiological and related characteristics of two selected rivers (Ogilvie and Swift) in the northern and southern sections of the Yukon pipeline corridor and (2) to assess the impact of pipeline construction upon their microbial ecology as it relates to water quality"--Introduction, page 2.
