Air Quality Monitoring Program Records, Ekati Diamond Mine (BHP Billiton, 1995 to 2005)
This document is BHP Billiton's December 1995 response to the panel's request for additional information on monitoring programs for the NWT Diamonds Project (Ekati), detailing adaptive management criteria, thresholds, and monitoring sensitivity for water, land, air, wildlife, and socioeconomic parameters, along with establishing an independent Environmental Advisory Group. The second section (dated March 2004) presents Rescan Environmental Services' proposal to update the EKATI air dispersion model using ISC3, incorporating current meteorological data, terrain, emissions inventories, and cumulative effects assessment with the Diavik mine.
