Project Background
6 Sites were associated with High Arctic Oil & Gas exploration & production projects from the late 1960s to mid-1990s

Project Scope
• Gap Analysis and Pre-Program Planning • Completion of the following on Six Remote
Arctic Sites: – Phase III Environmental Site Assessment – Human Health And Ecological Risk
Assessment – NCSCS Scoring – Remediation And Risk Management Plan – Environmental Impact Assessment

Program Challenges • Timeline • Budget/Cost Estimation • Location • Travel time • Weather • Logistics • On-site Analysis • Sample shipment/integrity • Flight coordination • Groceries!

Project Timeline
Task 1 - Gap Analysis, Investigation Plan & Logistics • Contract awarded May 14 • Scope to determine approach to achieving field program
success – deadline first week of June • Held meetings to discuss lessons learned on previous
projects in the region
Lessons Learned from Previous Work: • Community based program does not allow for
accurate assessment of weather on sites greater than 100km away
• Pilot hours can get maxed out during weather delays – reduces progress
• Remote camp depends on recce flights to confirm that equipment can be mobilized

Potential Camp Locations
320km
Drake Point – 13 APECs, 150+ samples
Rea Point – 5 Large APECs, 250+ samples

Project Timeline
Task 1 - Gap Analysis, Investigation Plan & Logistics
Result – A robust logistical plan and ballpark cost for the next Task
The Approach – • Station project team on one of the larger
sites (Rea or Drake Point) to allow for ‘local’ work on weather days and minimize weather disruptions
• Start program at Eureka/Romulus to allow for camp setup following recce flight

Project Timeline
Task 2 – Field Program • Field Program Contract award in June • Site reconnaissance needed to determine actual
camp location – Drake or Rea Point • Task Authorization signed July 10 • Camp Reconn flight – July 15 • Location selected – REA POINT
Project Team Mobilization • Investigation Team to Eureka - July 27 • Team arrives at Rea Point Camp – August 1
2.5 weeks from Task Authorization to Team Mobilization

Contributing Factors – The Challenges
• Cash Flow & Contracting – Retaining subcontractors
• Helicopter $$$ • Fixed Wing $$ • Camp Contractor $$$ • Fuel provider $$
– Fixed and rotary aircraft retained under Standing Offer directly by PWGSC
– Existing SOA allowed for prompt contracting – Contract management by PWGSC and technical
management by BluMetric
www.blumetric.ca
Contributing Factors – The Challenges
• Controlling Project Costs – Aircraft fuel cost in Resolute Bay • Drummed from a local supplier ~
$5/L • From the pump ~ $2/L
– Local commodities • Lumber for the camp – purchased in
Yellowknife and flown to Resolute • Food – purchased locally but
insufficient stock available – grocery runs to other communities
