This survey was designed as part of the Keeyask Terrestrial Effects Monitoring Plan (TEMP). The objective of this survey was to evaluate how the Project may be affecting patterns and trends in caribou distribution, abundance, and population characteristics in Study Zone 5 (the Keeyask region).
Construction of the Keeyask Generation Project (the Project) at Gull Rapids began in July 2014. As a part of licensing requirements for the Project, the Keeyask Hydropower Limited Partnership (KHLP) was required to prepare a plan to monitor the effects of construction and operation of the generating station on the terrestrial environment. Monitoring results will help the KHLP, government regulators, members of local First Nation communities, and the general public understand how construction and operation of the generating station will affect the environment, and whether more needs to be done to reduce harmful effects.
