Edie Lake Quarry Geotechnical Investigation

Geotechnical drilling program at the Edie Lake Quarry to determine material quality and quantity for the Prohibition Creek Access Road. Program will involve drilling up to 7 boreholes at the quarry site. No new clearing will be required for the program. The drilling sites are at an existing quarry which is accessible via a haul road which connects to the Mackenzie Valley Winter Road. For drilling locations outside the existing quarry, access trails have previously been cleared to reach these sites. These clearing activities were completed under the existing LUP S15E-004. A 20m radius is expected to be cleared around each borehole. Overall, the disturbance associated with the Project will be less than 1 ha

Water will be sourced from the Town of Norman Wells municipal water source and transported to site via water truck operated by HRN Contracting Ltd. Water withdrawal for the Project will be less than 100 m3 per day (approximately 20 m3 per day).
