Note to the Reader
The tables presented in this appendix show the summary of the monthly monitoring results of each final discharge point identified pursuant to sections 9 and 10 of the Metal Mining Effluent Regulations. Effluent results were provided to Environment Canada pursuant to section 22 of the Regulations, which requires mines to submit annual reports to Environment Canada. The format for these reports is specified in Schedule 6 of the Regulations. Data are presented as provided by the owners or operators of the mines except where comments indicate that some data were added for completeness based on quarterly reports.
