1. REQUIREMENT: Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) on behalf of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC) has a requirement for remediation activities at the FOX-E Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line Site on Durban Island and the former US Coast Guard Weather Station on Padloping Island, Nunavut.
2. BACKGROUND: FOX-E Durban Island (67°05' N, 62°07' W), and Padloping Island (67° 02' N, 62° 44'W) are located on the northeast coast of the Cumberland Peninsula of Baffin Island, approximately 440 km north-northeast of Iqaluit and 75 km southeast of Qikiqtarjuaq. FOX-E, Durban Island, was constructed as an Intermediate DEW Line site in 1957 by the Department of National Defence (DND). The station was abandoned as part of the DEW Line system in 1963, and in 1965 responsibility for the land was assumed by AANDC ). A United States Air Force (USAF) weather station was constructed on Padloping Island in 1943 by the United States Military. The station was operated by the USAF until the end of the Second World War and was subsequently operated by the Canadian Department of Transport until 1956. An Inuit settlement on the island predates the weather station. The remains of a hamlet, abandoned in the early 1960s, are co-located on Padloping Island with the remains of the weather station facilities. The sites are accessible by marine transport during the summer shipping season. There are no airstrips on the sites and air travel is limited to rotary- wing aircraft.
It is anticipated that the remediation of the FOX-E Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line Site on Durban Island and the former U.S. Coast Guard Weather Station Padloping Sites will require up to three construction seasons (summers of 2013 / 2014 / 2015) depending how the work is sequenced. A typical construction season for these locations normally starts in June and concludes by late September, which allows approximately 90 days. Potential hazards inherent with a remote northern location are wildlife and arctic weather conditions. Due to the logistical challenges associated with this project, a number of the risks have been identified, primarily those with mobilization and demobilization; remediation and construction activities; work schedules; weather delays; air charter; and replenishment of food and materials have been identified.
