Wildlife Effects Monitoring Program (WEMP) Summary Report, Ekati Diamond Mine (BHP Billiton, May 2007)
31 May 2007Report
The 2006 Wildlife Effects Monitoring Program (WEMP) Summary Report documents BHP Billiton's tenth annual wildlife monitoring study at Ekati Diamond Mine from October 2005 to October 2006, assessing impacts on caribou, grizzly bears, wolves, wolverines, breeding birds, and falcons through aerial surveys, field observations, and habitat analysis. The report finds that while 28 hectares of habitat were disturbed in 2006, mine activities show mixed effects on wildlife, with caribou showing some avoidance during post-calving migration, nine non-vehicle wildlife mortalities recorded, and improved mitigation practices reducing vehicle collisions with wildlife.

Ekati Wildlife and Human Health Risk Assessment Final Report (BHP Billiton, January 2006)
1 January 2006Report
This final risk assessment evaluates potential health risks to wildlife and humans from exposure to metals in processed kimberlite at the EKATI Diamond Mine's Long Lake Containment Facility, where vegetation cover is proposed as a reclamation option. The assessment identified ten metals of concern and predicted acceptable risks for most wildlife receptors and human consumers of caribou and goose, with the exception of potential unacceptable nickel risks for humans consuming caribou under elevated soil ingestion scenarios.

Environmental Agreement Annual Report 2005 & Environmental Impact Report 2006, Summary (BHP Billiton, 2006)
~2006Report
Approximate date — inferred from filename
This combined Environmental Agreement Annual Report 2005 and Environmental Impact Report 2006 from BHP Billiton summarizes environmental monitoring and management at the Ekati Diamond Mine in the Northwest Territories, evaluating compliance with water licences and environmental agreements across air, land, water, and wildlife parameters. The report indicates that while Ekati operated within licence terms in 2005, monitoring has detected various environmental effects ranging from negligible to minor, including dust and metal deposition, changes in aquatic habitats, caribou avoidance of the mine site, and shifts in bird populations, with adaptive management strategies in place to address these issues.
