This report presents the results of a study, conducted under the terms of the Inuvialuit Find Agreement, to determine the supply of granular materials and the 20-year demand for granular materials in the community of Sachs Harbour. Development scenarios and recommendations designed to optimize the utilization of resources for the anticipated demand arc presented. In summary, the 20-year dwnand for granular materials in the community is about 130,000 cubic metres. Most of the demand is for mainmmcc of community facilities (lO0,OOO cubic metres) while local capital projects co~sulllc the mminder (30,000 cubic metres). Granular materials aufflcient to meet the forecast demand arc available in the Sachs Harbour area, although in some cases dre demand must b satisfled with materials of a slightly lower quality than desirable. In particular, this b the casc for concrete aggregate which does not exist in quantity in the Sachs Harbour vicinity, The community has SeYcTal convenient sourcts of Class 3 ( g e n e r a l) granular material. Development of these sources should c d w in the manner that has bccn established. These sources arc located adjacent to thc comrnunity and cumntly provide a substantial portion of Sachs Harbour's public demand. It is important that these deposits arc reserved for use on community projects.
