Bosworth Creek (NWT) literature review / by SENES Consultants Limited and Glen Guthrie. : NE22-4/174E
Natural flow was impeded with the construction of a weir in 1960 approximately 250 metres from its confluence with the Mackenzie River. The pond created behind the weir supplied the oil refinery with water for stream driven electricity and drinking water for the Town of Norman Wells. The town abandoned this water source in 1991 and closure of the refinery in 1996 prompted channel flow reclamation as recommended by the Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT). The Bosworth Creek Monitoring Project (BCMP) was developed following concerns raised by local residents regarding the absence of Whitefish and other aquatic species. The present document contains a literature review of the existing information collected on Bosworth Creek and a summary report on the current status of reclamation and mitigation measures, identifying lessons learned and possible next steps.
