Aquatic Effects Monitoring Program (AEMP) Re-evaluation and Refinement Report, Proposed Program for 2003–2007, Ekati Diamond Mine (BHP Billiton, January 2003)
BHP Billiton's re-evaluation and refinement report proposes modifications to the Aquatic Effects Monitoring Program (AEMP) for 2003-2007, evaluating sampling locations, monitoring frequencies, and analytical approaches based on historical data analysis and stakeholder consultation. The report recommends adding Leslie Lake to monitoring, continuing triennial monitoring of Little Lake, retaining Vulture Lake as a reference site, and refining seasonal sampling protocols for phytoplankton and zooplankton.
