Aquatic Effects Monitoring Program (AEMP) Re-evaluation Report, Ekati Diamond Mine (Arctic Canadian Diamond Company, December 2022)
This 2022 Aquatic Effects Monitoring Program (AEMP) Re-evaluation report for the Ekati Diamond Mine presents a comprehensive assessment of aquatic monitoring data collected since 1998, including multivariate analyses integrating physical, chemical, and biological data, and provides 10 recommendations for the 2023-2025 AEMP Design Plan. The report evaluates the effectiveness of the AEMP in detecting environmental changes, compares observed effects against Environmental Assessment predictions, and proposes updates to the Aquatic Response Framework based on four years of implementation experience.
