Description of the Existing EnvironmentIt is expected that the deep groundwater in the area will be very saline, and potentially high insome metals.Shallow groundwater may be present if there are thawed areas below large lakes in the area.This shallow groundwater would be expected to reflect surface waters to a large extent (e.g., thesurface water of the overlying lake), and be much closer in chemistry to surface water than theexpected saline nature of the deep groundwater. There may be a talik (thawed zone within thecontinuous permafrost) below Camp Lake.Geotechnical drilling may take place in the potential talik zone below Camp Lake in 2008. Ifsuch drilling takes place, water quality samples from the shallow groundwater may be obtainedin 2008.6.1.10 Freshwater6.1.10.1 Hydrology and Water QuantityCatchment areas around the Hackett River Project site are shown on Figure 6.1-2. In 2007, atotal of 10 hydrometric stations and 5 lake level gauges were installed at the locations shown onthe figure. In addition, the Water Survey of Canada (WSC) operates a long term hydrometricmonitoring station near the mouth of the Burnside River which drains the streams from theHackett River Project area. Regional watersheds along with the WSC stations are shown inFigure 6.1-3.The extremely cold temperatures of the region, combined with permafrost ground conditionsresult in a short period of runoff that typically occurs from June to September. Maximum lakeand river ice in the area can reach a thickness of approximately 2 metres which results in mostrivers and creeks, with the exception of rivers deeper than 2 metres, freezing solid during thewinter months. Streams and rivers typically begin to flow in late May or early June with theonset of snow and ice melt. Flows typically peak in June before dropping steadily through thesummer and early fall to October when flows essentially cease. The peak runoff period is quiteshort and the volume of the annual hydrograph is low, relative to the rest of Canada, due theregion’s low average annual precipitation of approximately 270 mm. The annual runoffcoefficient varies between watersheds but reasonable values range from 0.5 to 0.7 due to the lowtemperatures and the ground conditions of permafrost and minimal vegetative cover.Correspondingly, surface water is abundant, and the region is dotted with thousands of smalllakes and streams. The mean annual runoff in the area, based on a review of regional WaterSurvey of Canada (WSC) and Atmospheric Environment Service (AES) records of streamflowand precipitation, is estimated to be approximately 200 mm. Preliminary data for 2007 fromwatersheds monitored for the Hackett River Project produced annual runoff estimates rangingfrom 120 to 164 mm.The ground conditions are conducive to a very rapid basin runoff response, and peak flows arecorrespondingly quite large. Annual peak flows are due to snowmelt, rainfall, or rain on snowevents, occur most commonly in June, but may occur at any time during the non-freeze period.January 2008 Hackett River Project – Project Proposal Sabina Silver CorporationReport Version B.1 6–14 Rescan Environmental Services Ltd.
