Throughout 2006, the Joint Review Panel and the National Energy Board
will be conducting an environmental assessment and regulatory review of
the Mackenzie Gas Project, a $7 billion pipeline in northwest Canada to
bring natural gas from the Mackenzie Delta to Alberta.
The Arctic Institute of North America's Hydrocarbon Impacts (HI)
database describes 5,700 publications and research projects about the
environmental impacts, socio-economic effects, and regulation of
hydrocarbon exploration, development, and transportation in northern
Canada. The HI database is funded by Indian and Northern Affairs Canada
and provides access to 35 years of accumulated knowledge about northern
gas pipeline impacts. New publications are being added to the database
as they are introduced at the Mackenzie Gas Project hearings.
If you are interested in how the Mackenzie Gas Project may affect the
Northwest Territories, the HI database is an excellent guide to the
relevant literature.
