The purpose of this process memo is to provide the detailed data for additional power information received and summarize the information.

Dust may have physical effects on plants such as blockage and damage to stomata, shading, abrasion of leaf surface or

cuticle, and cumulative effects e.g. drought stress on already stressed species.

Email from Todd Keay, Montgomery Associates, describing historical mine dewatering operations.

This paper presents a statistical model to estimate the volume of released tailings (V_F) and the maximum distance travelled by the tailings (D_max) in the event of a tailings dam failure, based on physical parameters of the dams.

On the night of August 3-4, 2014, the dam enclosing the tailings storage facility (TSF) at Mount Polley Mine, a copper and gold mine in interior British Columbia, failed.

At this time, there is a crisis associated with concern over the safety of tailings dams and lack of trust in their design and performance. This crisis has resulted from recent high-profile failures of dams at locations with strong technical experience, conscientious operators, and established regulatory procedures.

The purpose of this process memorandum is to describe additional supporting resource information in detail. The Soils and Vegetation section of Chapter 3 of the draft EIS (DEIS) includes brief summaries of the information contained in this process memorandum.

Critical evaluation of existing empirical evidence to test whether there was a gradation in nest success as a function of distance from an edge. Researchers investigating this question have been inconsistent in their experimental designs, making generalizations about edge-effect patterns difficult.
