Objective(s): To monitor any potential environmental effects from the mining activities at the Gahcho Kue Mine.
Project Description: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4676. The objective of the proposed studies is to implement the approved environmental monitoring and management plans to monitor any potential environmental effects from the mining activities at the Gahcho Kue Mine. The proposed studies will include the collection of air quality, geochemistry, hydrology, water and sediment quality, and fish and aquatic resources, dustfall, vegetation and soil information. The studies are designed to monitor the area around Kennady Lake and adjacent watershed areas, which has the potential to be affected by the mine. A series of lakes in the Kirk Lake watershed will be used as reference lakes to provide reference data to support future long-term monitoring programs for the Project. The air quality monitoring program will include collection and processing of meteorological data from the onsite weather station,... Show more
