Objective(s): This research will characterize baseline and post-baseline conditions in the lakes and streams near areas of current and pending mining activity.
Project Description: This research will characterize baseline and post-baseline conditions in the lakes and streams near areas of current and pending mining activity. This will be the 11th year of post-baseline data collected in the Koala Watershed and the 8th year of post-baseline data collected in the King-Cujo Watershed as a part of EKATI’s Aquatic Effects Monitoring Program. It will also be the 10th year of monitoring the fish populations of the Panda Diversion Channel (PDC). As a part of these past initiatives, baseline data will be collected from lakes and streams within and near the Horseshoe Watershed in anticipation of future developments. The monitored parameters include: hydrology, meteorology, water quality, limnology, sediment quality, phytoplankton, zooplankton, benthos, fish habitat, and fish communities (physical characteristics and sampling of tissue for metals analysis). On site research personnel and equipment will be tra... Show more
