Water Licence Surveillance Network Program (SNP) Guidelines
Water Licence Surveillance Network Program (SNP) provides detailed instructions on safety measures, sample collection preparation, sample locations, and analysis procedures. It emphasizes the importance of wearing gloves, getting vaccinations, using hand sanitizer, and proper field gear during sampling. The program guides on sample collection dates, ordering bottles, contacting labs, and arranging bottle transport for analysis. Specific locations for sampling various water sources like community well, Sewage effluent, Lac La Martre River, and waste disposal sites are outlined with parameters to test for. The program ensures thorough monitoring and analysis of water quality for environmental compliance.

WHATI WATER LICENCE SURVEILLANCE NETWORK PROGRAM (SNP)
1. Be Safe b) Gloves wear gloves during sampling, discard gloves inside cooler. a) Vaccinations - recommended Hepatitis A&B Tetanus c) Hand Sanitizer use after each sample d) Field Gear
2. Be Prepared Pick a date each month to collect samples a) Order Bottles b) Lab Analysis Contact Taiga Lab to arrange for analysis from Taiga Lab: 867-669-2788 Order at least 3 days in advance (usebottle order form) After Hours: 867-444-8378 c) Bottle Transport Arrange with Air Tindi and Yellowknife courier/taxi to deliver samples and field sheet to Taiga Lab the SAME DAY.
3. Know the Locations SNP 002-1: Raw water from community well (keep records of monthly quantity used) SNP 002-2: Sewage effluent discharged from detention pond #3 (1 monthly sample during periods of flow) SNP 002-3: Lac La Martre River at outflow of the marsh (1 monthly sample during periods of flow) SNP 002-4: Runoff from domestic solid waste disposal site (1 monthly sample if water is present) SNP 002-5: Runoff from bulk solid waste disposal site (1 monthly sample if water is present)
SNP 002-2: Sewage effluent discharged from detention pond #3. 1 monthly sample during periods of flow pH TSS, Ammonia If sewage is not present at pond #3, sample at location furthest from truck dump where there is sewage present. Fecal Coliforms BOD Mercury Oil & Grease
SNP 002-3: Lac La Martre River at outflow of the marsh pH TSS, Ammonia 1 monthly sample during periods of flow) Fecal Coliforms BOD Mercury Oil & Grease
1 monthly sample if water is present SNP 002-4: Runoff from domestic solid waste disposal site pH TSS Total Metals, Mercury
1 monthly sample if water is present SNP 002-5: Runoff from bulk solid waste disposal site pH TSS Total Metals, Mercury
4. Know the Procedures Rinse X 3 Fill to top 3 X
4. Know the Procedures Sample cleanest location first At each SNP location: 1. Wear gloves 2. Write SNP number and date and time on each bottle (before collecting sample) 3. Collect samples following procedures for each color & type of bottle (on next pages) 4. Place used bottles in cooler and keep unused bottles in separate bag (use ice pack to keep bottles cold but not frozen). 5. Discard gloves in cooler 6. Use hand sanitizer
4. Know the Procedures Do Not Rinse Fill to top Record the time
Sampling & Analysis Send to Taiga Lab, Yellowknife for analysis Taiga Lab will send you your results back in 14 days.
5. HOW TO REPORT AND STORE DATA When results are received from Taiga Lab: Record results in spreadsheet results template (provided by WLWB) Annual Report due March 31 each year Fill out template for annual reporting (provided by WLWB), including reporting of all SNP results
