Sable Pipe Preliminary Waste Rock Storage Management Plan (BHP Billiton, January 2002)
1 January 2002Report
This preliminary waste rock storage management plan for the Sable Pipe at Ekati Diamond Mine addresses geochemical characterization, testing methods, and operational management strategies for granite and kimberlite waste rock disposal. The plan incorporates adaptive management based on Panda Waste Rock Storage Area experience, including permafrost maintenance, toe berm construction, and water quality monitoring to minimize environmental impacts.

Panda Diversion Channel Monitoring Program Technical Report, Ekati Diamond Mine (BHP Billiton, December 2001)
31 December 2001Report
This technical report documents the 2001 monitoring year of the Panda Diversion Channel (PDC) at the Ekati Diamond Mine, a compensation program designed to maintain fish habitat and connectivity between North Panda and Kodiak lakes following mining operations. The report presents findings on hydrology, fish spawning and migration, larval emergence, habitat stability, benthic invertebrates, and revegetation, concluding that the channel continues to function as designed and provide suitable habitat for multiple fish species.

Processed Kimberlite Tailings Vegetation Research 2001 Report (BHP Billiton, December 2001)
23 December 2001Report
This 2001 research report by Neil Burton Reid examines methods to stabilize processed kimberlite tailings at Ekati Diamond Mine through vegetation reclamation, testing various soil amendments (peat, lake sediment, sewage sludge, calcium sources) in both greenhouse and field trials at the Long Lake Containment Facility. Preliminary results show that organic amendments combined with nutrient sources, particularly sewage sludge with peat, significantly improve substrate conditions and plant growth, including ground cover, plant height, and development.

Aquatic Effects Monitoring Program (AEMP) Technical Report, Ekati Diamond Mine (BHP Billiton, December 2001)
1 December 2001Report
This 2001 Aquatic Effects Monitoring Program (AEMP) technical report evaluates results from monitoring in the Koala and King-Cujo watersheds to identify effects of the Ekati Diamond Mine on aquatic environments. The fourth year of post-baseline monitoring in the Koala Watershed and first year in the King-Cujo Watershed detected elevated pH, nitrate, and phytoplankton biomass in some lakes, with elevated nitrate concentrations observed downstream, though current levels are not expected to pose risks to aquatic life.
