Baseline study of water quality, sediments, and benthic fauna of selected streams in the Brewery Creek area, Yukon, Loki Gold Corporation / by D. Davidge.: En40-240-1/95-02E-PDF
"During July of 1991, a baseline study was conducted by the Environmental Protection Branch - Yukon Division to document environmental conditions in the vicinity of the Brewery Creek mine property east of Dawson City, Yukon. The study was carried out in response to the proposed development of a hard rock mine at the Brewery Creek Property in the near future. Most water quality parameters met the Canadian Water Quality Guidelines. The exceptions were total aluminum at Station 7 (Brewery Creek), total copper at Station 9 (Klondike River) and total zinc at Station 3 (Laura Creek). Stream sediment chemistry was comparable to sediment compositions found in other mineralized areas in the Yukon. Benthic invertebrate populations were significant in numbers and diversity"--Abstract, page i.
