Preliminary Data and Status for Waste Rock Seepage Study, June 2000 (BHP Billiton, July 2000)
BHP Diamonds Inc. submitted preliminary seepage monitoring data and status update for June 2000 to the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board, documenting water quality analyses from seepage monitoring stations at the Panda Waste Rock Storage Area and reference tundra stations. The report indicates confirmed seepage flows from the waste rock pile were not identified during June due to dry conditions following snowmelt, with analytical results for major ions, metals, and other water quality parameters from multiple monitoring and reference locations.
