Objectif(s): To determine any seasonal variation that may exist at the Diavik Diamond Mine and confirm impact predictions.
Description du projet: The goal of this research is to re-visit fixed sample stations at near-field, mid-field and far-field sites over the course of a year in an effort to determine any seasonal variation that may exist and confirm impact predictions. The study will encompass the following water-based parameters: water quality, zooplankton & phytoplankton biomass and taxonomy, benthic invertebrate analysis and sediment chemistry. This program also includes dust monitoring and fish health. Two individuals will be selected from the local communities to participate in the above-noted program, in addition to our other regulated programs. These are seasonal positions that run from April to October. The investigators will try to facilitate training and experience in support of the Environmental Monitor Certification Program offered by the GNWT Department of Education Culture and Employment when selecting these candidates. Diavik Diamond Mines Inc. (DDMI) supplies this information to the following boards and government organizations: WLWB, DFO, EC, INAC and EMAB. Summary information is provided in DDMI's Annual Environmental Agreement report, which is produced every year. The executive summary of this report is translated into several languages. DDMI also updates communities during community visits over the year. The fieldwork for this study will be conducted from June 26, 2010 to October 31, 2010.
