Worley Canada Services Ltd., operating as Worley Consulting, has been retained by the Government of Nunavut – Community & Government Services (GN-CGS) to support the detailed design of Community Harbour facilities in Grise Fiord and Resolute Bay in Nunavut. To inform the detailed design phase, several field programs will be undertaken over the next few years, initiating in the 2024 open-water season. This Project Description (PD) is specific to the field programs. The intention of the field programs, will be as below: •Conduct environmental, geoscience, geophysics, and archaeological baseline studies in each location.•Perform a geotechnical study to confirm seabed and quarry rock conditions.•Topographic and bathymetric surveys.•Existing conditions or effects studies prior to construction of the Community Harbours.Surveys will be conducted in two Study Areas: the Community Harbour and the Haul Road and Quarry. Maps depicting the Study Areas for each community are provided in Appendix A, Figure A-1 and Figure A-2 in the attached Application Letter.Field programs will largely be undertaken in open-water seasons, with the exception of the Geotechnical Drilling Program which may occur during the iced ocean condition. The initial 2024 existing conditions field program will be undertaken between July and September.Consultations on the Community Harbour facilities have been ongoing since the feasibility phase and have included six separate community visits from 2018 to 2022 to conduct meetings with the Hamlet, design workshops with the Hunters and Trappers Associations/Organizations (HTAs/HTOs), Inuit knowledge (Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit [IQ]) workshops with elders and active hunters, and community open houses. Meaningful consultation will be continued throughout the ‘life cycle’ of the Projects, including during the design and construction phases so that issues of concern can be identified and responded to in a timely manner and design and construction planning can be adjusted where possible to avoid and mitigate any adverse social or environmental effects. The next round of consultations is being planned for July 2024, before any field programs, and will focus on providing the communities with a Project update and general overview, confirming preferred options for the Community Harbour layouts, Quarries, and Haul Roads and discussing the field program activities including coordinating with the community for local support of workers and equipment for the field programs.
