Description

The Mackenzie Valley Gas Project proposes to build a 1,220 kilometre pipeline that will follow an existing pipeline corridor from Inuvik to Norman Wells, then follow a new alignment from Norman Wells to northern Alberta. Impacts to birds from an expanded & new pipeline corridor are expected and this report describes a study initiated to estimate those impacts. It presents findings of breeding bird surveys conducted at two areas in 2004, Norman Wells and Fort Simpson, chosen to represent northern & southern segments of the Mackenzie Valley pipeline route. Study plots represented typical habitats in both study areas. Vegetation characteristics were measured for each plot. Plots were surveyed ten times each in June 2004 and analyzed to quantify habitat & breeding bird territories. Data were specifically analyzed to determine densities of breeding birds in each habitat and species/habitat associations. Landsat coverages were used to quantify habitats across a 200-by-50 kilometre pipeline corridor at each study area, and breeding bird densities at each study area were then used to extrapolate densities across similar habitats along the length of the corridor segment. Potential losses of habitat & breeding birds are estimated for the combined 400 kilometre long corridor. Additional data sets are analyzed to assess whether the 2004 map data represent a typical year. Issues related to adaptive landscape management, retention harvesting strategies along the corridor, edge effects on birds, bird community responses, ecological indicators, and considerations for future landscape-level development are discussed. Finally, recommendations are made for future studies & approaches related to potential impacts of the pipeline on boreal ecosystems.
