Panda Diversion Channel Monitoring Program, Volume I, Technical Report, Draft for Public Review, Ekati Diamond Mine (BHP Billiton, December 2004)
This technical report documents the sixth year (2004) of monitoring the Panda Diversion Channel (PDC) at Ekati Diamond Mine to assess its effectiveness as compensatory fish habitat. The program measured physical parameters (flows, temperatures, habitat), biological communities (periphyton, benthic invertebrates), and fish populations, particularly Arctic grayling spawning, rearing, and outmigration, comparing results with reference streams Pigeon and Polar-Vulture.
