To address unknowns identified in the environmental assessment prepared for the proposed Cheviot Mine, Cardinal River Coals Ltd. initiated a detailed Harlequin Duck study in May 1996, which was continued in 1997 and 1998. This report summarizes the 1998 activities.
The overall goal of this study is to develop a mitigation strategy and to make recommendations regarding a long-term monitoring program to track the response of Harlequin Ducks to the Cheviot Mine development.
