Panda Diversion Channel Monitoring Program Technical Report, Ekati Diamond Mine (BHP Billiton, January 2001)
This 2000 technical monitoring report documents the third year of the Panda Diversion Channel (PDC) monitoring program, which tracks the effectiveness of fish habitat compensation efforts at the Ekati Diamond Mine. The report presents findings on channel hydrology, spring fish migration patterns, larval fish development, habitat assessments, channel stability, and biological communities, demonstrating that Arctic grayling successfully use the constructed channel for spawning and migration between North Panda and Kodiak lakes.
