Review of Habitat Evaluation Procedure (HEP) input parameters and model results for the Meadowbank Gold Mine project .: Fs70-7/2016-038E-PDF
"To evaluate habitat losses and gains for the Meadowbank open-pit gold mine project and other mining projects in Nunavut and the Northwest Territories, Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd (AEM) in collaboration with Golder Associates Ltd, adapted a Habitat Evaluation Procedure (HEP) model. As part of the Fisheries and Oceans Canada’s (DFO) review and authorization, the Fisheries Protection Program (FPP) has requested Science to peer review the adapted HEP model input parameters and results for the Meadowbank No-Net-Loss and Fish Habitat Offsetting Plan. FPP asked if the Proponents’ model input parameters are scientifically valid and a defensible approach to calculating loss and gain for projects. Science was also asked to calculate the appropriate offset ratio for any lost productivity due to the timing of losses and delayed offsets" - Context - p.1.
