Panda Diversion Channel Monitoring Program Technical Report, Ekati Diamond Mine (BHP Billiton, December 2001)
This technical report documents the 2001 monitoring year of the Panda Diversion Channel (PDC) at the Ekati Diamond Mine, a compensation program designed to maintain fish habitat and connectivity between North Panda and Kodiak lakes following mining operations. The report presents findings on hydrology, fish spawning and migration, larval emergence, habitat stability, benthic invertebrates, and revegetation, concluding that the channel continues to function as designed and provide suitable habitat for multiple fish species.
