Lake Sediment Literature Review, Interim Closure and Reclamation Plan (ICRP) Version 3.0, Ekati Diamond Mine (Dominion Diamond, March 2018)
This literature review examines the suitability of stockpiled lake sediment from the Ekati Diamond Mine as a reclamation substrate for revegetating rock pads and tailings. The document synthesizes greenhouse trials, field studies, and long-term monitoring data (1995–2017) to assess lake sediment's physical and chemical properties, limitations, and potential when used alone or in combination with glacial till, topsoil, or processed kimberlite.
