A twenty-five year scenario of anticipated resource developments that may have an impact on fish and fish habitat in the Prairie Provinces and the Northwest Territories / by D.G. Wright.: Fs97-4/1546E-PDF ; Fs97-4/1546
"There will be considerable development of the resources of the three prairie provinces and the Northwest Territories over the next 25 years. Because of the responsibility of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to protect fish and fish habitats from man-induced disturbances there is an ongoing need to match development scenarios with both baseline inventory and industrial process oriented aquatic research. As a first step in the process, a long-range scenario of anticipated developments in the energy resources (frontier hydrocarbon exploration, production and transportation, non-conventional hydrocarbons, coal and hydroelectric potential) and mining (base metals, precious metals and uranium) sectors has been prepared. Projects with a significant potential for adverse impact on fish and their habitats include: production and transportation of hydrocarbons from the Beaufort Sea and Sverdrup Basin; production of synthetic oil from the bituminous sands of Alberta and Saskatchewan; uranium development in northern Saskatchewan; metal mining in the Mackenzie Mountains and Bear-Slave structural provinces, and development of the hydroelectric potential of the Mackenzie and Churchill river basins"--Abstract, page iv.
