Aquatic Effects Monitoring Program (AEMP) Introduction (Independent Environmental Monitoring Agency, March 2005)
This workshop presentation outlines Ekati's Aquatic Effects Monitoring Program (AEMP) for 2004, detailing surveillance of water quality, fish, and aquatic organisms across the Koala and King-Cujo watersheds. Key findings show that all releases met water licence compliance and CCME guidelines, though some water quality parameters increased downstream and cladocera populations in Moose Lake showed continued decline with minor recovery trends.
