Aquatic Effects Monitoring Program (AEMP) Annual Report 2018, Summary Report, Ekati Diamond Mine (Dominion Diamond, March 2019)
The 2018 Aquatic Effects Monitoring Program (AEMP) Annual Report for the Ekati Diamond Mine documents the results of comprehensive aquatic ecosystem monitoring across three watersheds (Koala, King-Cujo, and Pigeon-Fay/Upper Exeter) and the Horseshoe Watershed, submitted to the Wek'èezhìi Land and Water Board in compliance with Water Licence W2012L2-0001. The report evaluates physical limnology, water quality, biological communities (phytoplankton, zooplankton, benthos), and fish populations to detect mine-related effects and assess the effectiveness of mitigation measures.
