WATER AND MASS BALANCE MODELS

YUKON GOVERNMENT AND ENVIRONMENT CANADA
Executive Summary
Mine water management plans are an essential component of mining projects to 1) ensure sufficient availability
of water for mining operations; 2) confirm there is enough capacity within the mine water management
infrastructure (i.e., ponds and reservoirs) to handle the anticipated flows and volumes; 3) manage the quantity
and chemical quality of released mine effluents to minimize impacts on the receiving environment; and
4) develop mitigation and/or remediation measures to minimize impacts on the receiving environment. Mine site
water and mass balance models support the development of water management plans. The objective of this
document is to provide guidance in the development of integrated water and mass balance models for mine
development operating tailings or heap leach facilities. The document is intended for government, industry and
consultants in the mining sector and addresses various water resource components of the mine planning
process in order to assist with mine design and operations, while ensuring the protection of the environment.
The topics addressed in this guidance document are relevant to mining projects in general; however the
regulatory framework will vary from region to region.
Environmental assessment regulations related to the development of mining projects and water resources
management in the Canada are managed by the national and provincial/territorial environmental assessment
review processes and similarly, water licenses are issued by regulatory agencies or water boards across the
country.
The life cycle phases of mining projects are described in this guidance document, and include initial phases
(exploration, feasibility and planning), mine development phases (construction and operations), closure and
reclamation. Initial phases relate to field programs and desktop studies intended to build the data and
knowledge base, including the design of water management infrastructure and development of a water
management plan to support the development of mining projects and the licensing and permitting review
process. An integrated water and mass balance model for the mine site must be developed during these initial
phases. Such a model is essential to demonstrate that the water management plan will provide adequate water
for the mine operations and sufficient capacity for anticipated flows and volumes, will minimize environmental
impacts on the receiving environment, and will address measures to manage environmental impacts. The water
and mass balance model must cover the whole mine life cycle, from the start of mine development to a date
sufficiently far in the future where the reclaimed landscape is considered self-sustaining following complete
closure of the mine (i.e., post-closure). The model simulates the movement of water within the components of
the water management infrastructure and project operating areas, and calculates chemical loadings to each
mine component.
Water and mass balance models for mining are intended to assist mine operators with mine site water
management, and regulators with the assessment of regulatory compliance. The models are frequently used to
assess water management alternatives, key infrastructure components, and the uncertainty underlying current
and future water management scenarios. Deterministic models operate with set inputs for the prediction of
average water quantity and quality conditions, and for specific scenarios (e.g., extreme cases, sensitivity
analysis, and climate change). Probabilistic models, which may be used for uncertainty analysis, use stochastic
inputs to explicitly represent uncertainty and/or variability in the system that is being modelled and provide the
likelihood of occurrence of a result. Inputs for both types of models will include the following:
December 19, 2011

Project No. 1114280024-001-R-Rev0-1000

Mine process and dewatering inputs (e.g., mine plan, production rate, and production characteristics);
Physical inputs (e.g., drainage basin, topography, and land uses);
Climate inputs (e.g., temperature, precipitation, snow on the ground, and evaporation);
Hydrologic inputs (e.g., runoff coefficients, regional runoff and flow regime); and
Water quality inputs such as a time series of concentrations or loadings for all water quality constituents
from all water sources involved in the mine development.
Model outputs include the range of flows, water volumes and constituent concentrations at selected locations
in the mine development area, including mine effluent release points, and the receiving environment.
Predicted effluent discharge water quality must be compared against regulatory and licensed thresholds
(i.e., Metal Mining Effluent Regulations), and mitigation or treatment measures must be modelled and
implemented to improve effluent water quality, when appropriate. Predicted concentrations at locations in the
receiving environment will be compared against background levels and applicable thresholds
(i.e., guidelines or objectives for the protection of aquatic life or drinking water) to determine appropriate water
management alternatives.
Sensitivity and uncertainty analyses must be performed to determine potential variability in water quantity and
quality model results from corresponding changes in the values of model inputs in order to conservatively assess
the potential impacts from the mine project to the aquatic environment. An assessment of climate change
impacts on water quantity and quality may also be incorporated in the water and mass balance model sensitivity
and uncertainty analyses.
Two generic Excel-based deterministic water and mass balance model templates are included with this guidance
document, one for mines incorporating tailings facilities and one for mine incorporating heap leach facilities. The
model templates include the typical components required for the calculation of water movements within the mine
development area and for the prediction of mine water chemical quality. It remains the responsibility of the
user to verify the validity of the model for their mine development(s) and to perform required
adjustments to the models structure and equations to satisfy the needs of their specific project(s).
Golder cannot be held responsible for any water balance results produced by other users with model
template provided.
The model templates provided may be limited in their flexibility to model all aspects of water and mass balancing
for a mine development. General purpose simulators may provide a more user friendly interface for model
development, and may provide additional features and flexibility to simulate and assess the performance of more
elaborate water management systems. Examples of commercially available simulators are provided in this
guidance document.
Predicting mine effluents flows and associated water quality in the receiving environment may require the use of
specialised models that have been widely acknowledged by practitioners and tested by experts. These models
may also be required for components of the water management infrastructure (i.e., large and deep tailings ponds
and pit lakes) that may not easily be modelled in spreadsheet-based models or general purpose simulators.
Examples of such specialised models are also provided in this guidance document.

INTRODUCTION
Water management is an essential component of mining as water ingress must be controlled to gain access to
the mine workings (i.e., open pits or underground facilities) and water is typically required in ore extraction
processes. The quantity and chemical quality of released mine effluents must also be managed, since this
source of water may have a detrimental impact on the receiving environment and downstream water users.
Baseline and impact assessment studies on the aquatic environment (i.e., surface water and groundwater
quantity and quality, and benthic and aquatic habitats) in the area potentially affected by a proposed mine project
are required to support the regulatory review process, and the licensing and/or permitting of such a
development. These studies would be dependent in part on the design of mine water management
infrastructure and the development of mine water management plans in order to:
Ensure there is sufficient water available for mine operations;
Confirm there is enough capacity within the mine water management infrastructure (i.e., ponds and
reservoirs) to handle the anticipated flows and volumes;
Manage the quantity and chemical quality of released mine effluents to minimize potential impacts on the
receiving environment; and
Develop mitigation and/or remediation measures to minimize or prevent impacts on the receiving
environment.
The objective of this document is to provide guidance in the development of water and mass balance models for
mine developments in Canada with some specific consideration related to the Yukon Territory. In this document,
water and mass balance modelling specifically refers to the characterization of quantity and chemical quality of
mine effluents through all phases of the mine life. Such models support the development of water management
plans for a mine site. The document is intended for government, industry and consultants in the mining sector
and addresses various water resource components of the mine planning process to assist mining design and
operations for the protection of the environment. The content of this document from Sections 3 to 7 applies to all
regions of Canada.
A lack of adequate linkages between water and mass balance modelling formulations has historically been seen
as a major limitation in management plans developed for water quantity and quality assessments of mine
projects. Therefore, this guidance document primarily focuses on the development of integrated water and mass
balance models, and includes examples of Excel-based templates for developing preliminary water and mass
balance models. One template applies from mine developments incorporating tailings facilities, while the other
template addresses mines incorporating heap leach facilities. It is acknowledged that mines may include both
tailings and heap leach facilities; however each template considers the use of only one type of facilities.
The preparation of this guidance document and the Excel templates were supported by a review of the literature
on water management applicable to the mining industry. Further details on the references used in this document
are presented in Appendix A.

LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
This section summarizes regulations applicable in Canada for environmental assessments related to the
implementation of mine developments. The section focuses specifically on regulations that are relevant to water
resources issues.
2.1
Federal Requirements
Federal agencies typically involved in the review process and/or on review panels include Fisheries and Oceans
Canada (DFO), Environment Canada (EC), Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), Transport Canada (TC) and/or
Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC) through the Canadian Environmental
Assessment Act (CEAA). In the Yukon Territory, the Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment
Board (YESAB) administers the environmental assessment process in order to assess the effects of new and
existing projects, including mining developments, and other activities in the Yukon under the authority of the
Yukon Environmental and Socio-Economic Assessment Act (YESAA). A variety of federal environmental
assessment acts regulate the EA processes in the two other territories. Federal agencies may provide views
and information related to water resources based on their respective regulations and acts. These legislative
requirements for Environment Canada include but are not limited to the following:
The Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA, 1999): The objective of the Act is pollution prevention
and the protection of the environment and human health in order to contribute to sustainable development.
Control instruments assisting in the achievement of this objective include:
1)
The development of pollution prevention and environmental emergency plans; and
2)
The application, within environments receiving mine effluents, of standard thresholds on water
quality constituent concentrations for the protection of aquatic life (CCME, 2007) or drinking water
(FPTCDW, 2008).
The Fisheries Act (CDJ, 2010): This Act directs assessments of impacts on fish and fish habitat from
changes in water quantity in the receiving aquatic environment. The objective of the pollution prevention
provisions of the Act is the prevention and control of pollutants affecting fish. Furthermore, the
Metal Mining Effluent Regulations (MMER) (EC, 2002) are included under the Fisheries Act to provide a
legal framework for:
1)
Flow and water quality monitoring of metal mine effluents; and
2)
The implementation of environmental effects monitoring (EEM) studies for assessing the impact of
metal mine effluent on fish and benthic communities in the aquatic receiving environment.
The MMER ensures there are national baseline minimum standards of environmental performance for all
Canadian metal mines while providing a scientifically defensible basis for assessing the need for more stringent
measures to protect fish, fish habitat and fisheries on a site-specific basis (MMER-RIAS).

2.2
Yukon Territory Requirements
The YESAB is the main environmental assessment process in the territory. Review of water resources issues by
the YESAB is supported by the Yukon Water Act (YWA) (GYT, 2003), which legislates water use in the territory.
The YWA has specific regulations for the use and/or the discharge of waste into water. Responsibility for the
YWA is divided among the Yukon Water Board (YWB) and territorial departments including Energy, Mines and
Resources Yukon, and Environment Yukon.
The YWB is an independent administrative board established under the YWA. The YWB issues licenses for
water use by mining projects based on their application requirements (YWB, 2009). The YWB cannot issue a
water license, or set terms of a license contrary to a decision document issued under the YESAA. A proponent
applying for a water license must include a decision document issued under YESAA with its application.

MINING PROJECTS
This section details the life cycle phases of mining projects, and specific issues related to water management
within each phase. The components of the mine infrastructure and of the lands within the mine development
area that would impact water management, including water sources and their associated chemical signature, are
also described in this section.
3.1
Mine Life Cycle
The mine life cycle outlined in the Environmental Code of Practice for Metal Mines (EC, 2009) considers the
following phases:
1)
Exploration;
2)
Feasibility;
3)
Planning;
4)
Construction;
5)
Operations; and
6)
Closure and Reclamation.
Phases 1 to 3 encompass field programs and desktop studies intended to build the data and knowledge base of
a projects local and regional areas, and include the design of water management infrastructure, and the
development of water management plans and water and mass balance models. These are required to support
the development of mining projects and the review processes for licensing and permitting. Phases 1 to 3 are
briefly discussed in Section 3.1.1.
Phases 4 to 6 constitute mine development and operational activities that are conducted within the mine
footprint. Water management plans apply to the period when these activities are implemented. Phases 4 to 6
are detailed in Section 3.1.2.
Phases may overlap over the entire mine life cycle. Exploration, feasibility and planning may occur for deposits
in areas adjacent to site of construction, operation and reclamation of an existing mine. Ongoing planning,
review and updating of management plans is anticipated to be pursued on existing mine areas during the
construction, operations and closure and reclamation phases in order to refine previous planning efforts based
on newly observed in-field conditions. Closure and reclamation will always be the last completed phase of the
mine cycle at a specific site.

Project No. 1114280024-001-R-Rev0-1000

3.1.1
Exploration, Feasibility and Planning
The primary objective of the exploration phase is the identification of mineralized areas and the subsequent
assessment of ore quantity and quality, and estimation of the ore deposit geometry. Assuming an adequate
quantity and quality of potential ore is identified to move forward to the feasibility phase, the data collected during
the exploration phase would be used for preliminary planning of mine layout, ore processing design, and
estimating the cost of developing and operating a mine. Preliminary assessment of water resources issues
should be initiated during the exploration phase, and would typically include:
1)
Geochemical surveys to sample a range of rocks and soils at the mine for chemical analysis;
2)
Identification of watersheds, streams and lakes potentially affected by the mine development;
3)
Identification and characterization of permafrost;
4)
Hydrogeologic surveys, including drilling of monitoring wells, to assess basic groundwater characteristics
such as the depth to the water table and artesian conditions;
5)
Installation of a meteorological station for use in characterizing the local climate regime;
6)
Identification of potential water sources (surface and groundwater) for mine activities;
7)
Installation of hydrometric stations to characterize surface water quantity; and
8)
Initiation of water sampling programs to establish the chemistry of water sources.
The feasibility phase involves an assessment of mineral reserves and investment returns based on technical,
legal and economic considerations. The selection of the mining and waste management methods is also made
during the feasibility study as a function of safety, economics, practicality and environmental considerations.
The feasibility phase should include preliminary work on the following:
1)
Characterization of climate, hydrometric, hydrogeologic, ground temperature and water quality conditions in
the mine development area based on executed field programs and available site, local and regional data;
2)
Estimation of acid rock drainage (ARD) and metal leaching (ML) potential from geochemical surveys for the
mine development area including those conducted during the exploration phase, planned for the feasibility
phase, and other existing surveys in the region;
3)
Feasibility level design of waste and water management infrastructure; and
4)
Development of a feasibility level water balance (typically a deterministic average monthly or annual water
balance is completed at this stage).
The identification of data gaps related to the assessment of water resources impacts is accomplished in the
feasibility phase, in order to assist in the design of baseline field programs required to characterize the surface
water and groundwater environmental settings. The frequency of monitoring for these file programs will vary
with the needs of the project, but must be sufficient to fill the identified data gaps. The assessment of potential
project impacts on the environment requires use of these baseline data during the planning phase.
December 19, 2011

Project No. 1114280024-001-R-Rev0-1000

All aspects of the mine are planned in detail during the planning phase, including mining, ore separation and
waste handling processes, as well as site infrastructure needs, schedules for construction and commissioning of
facilities and all planning associated with the environmental aspects of operations. These details are required to
support the review processes for licensing and permitting. An integrated water and mass balance model is
developed in detail during the planning phase and encompasses the construction, operation and closure and
reclamation phases of the mine. The water and mass balance model is required to demonstrate a water
management plan that:
1)
Provides sufficient water for the operation of the mine;
2)
Provides sufficient capacity to handle the anticipated flows and volumes;
3)
Manages the quantity and chemical quality of mine effluents to minimize potential impacts on the receiving
environment; and
4)
Addresses mitigation, remediation or compensation measures for minimizing or preventing impacts on the
receiving environment.
3.1.2
Construction, Operations, and Closure and Reclamation
The construction, operations, closure and reclamation phases constitute mine development and operational
activities that are conducted within the mine footprint. The water and mass balance model must apply to the
period from when these activities are implemented up to final closure and reclamation.
Two water and mass balance model Excel templates were developed (Section 5) with this document, one for
mines with tailings facilities and one for mines with heap leach facilities. Beneficiation processes involving
tailings facilities include the crushing of the ore into fine particles, following by chemical reactions for the
extraction of the resource. Beneficiation processes for heap leach facilities consist of irrigating an ore pile with a
chemically reactive solution to collect the resource in a Pregnant Leach Solution (PLS) from the pile, then
extracting the resource from the leached solution. Different water uses and recycling activities are involved in
these processes, and therefore affect the water and mass balance at the mine. Figures 1 and 2 conceptually
illustrate the potential drainage sources, pathways and discharges that would be expected for overlapping
construction, operations and reclaimed areas, for mines with tailings facilities and heap leach facilities,
respectively. Mines may use both tailings and heap leach facilities; however each template considers the use of
only one type of facility.
In Figures 1 and 2, any water that is not in contact with mine or construction processes (i.e., non-contact water)
or does not originate from lands influenced by mine or construction processes would typically be diverted to the
extent possible and allowed to discharge directly in the surrounding receiving environment. All of the remaining
water pathways (including groundwater) illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 would normally be collected, monitored
and treated as necessary, before being discharged to the receiving environment.

Water and mass balance models are used to simulate the movement of water within the components of the
water management infrastructure during the construction, operations, closure and reclamation phases, based on
conveyance and retention capacity requirements determined during the design effort. The design of water
management infrastructure and the development of the water and mass balance model would typically be
advanced conjointly.
Further details on the construction, operations and reclaimed phases and areas are provided below, along with a
discussion on associated meteorological and water quantity and quality monitoring requirements.

Construction
The construction phase is the period when the mine infrastructure (waste and water management infrastructure,
plants, shops/warehousing, housing and offices) are built and may include pre-stripping for open pit development
(particularly if pre-strip material is used for site construction), development of borrow pits or quarries, and/or
construction of the underground access shafts/ramps and surface facilities for underground mines. The
construction area constitutes lands where no mining activities are occurring and therefore may be subject to
different treatment requirements for water being discharged to the environment than areas in the operational
phase. A construction area becomes an operations area when mining activities are initiated.
Water management infrastructure constructed during the construction phase may include ditches, culverts,
bridges and pipes for diversion systems and the conveyance of water within the disturbed lands. Operation
ponds (e.g., mine workings sumps, and freshwater, tailings, heap leach cells, process water and waste rock
ponds) and treatment ponds (e.g., sedimentation and polishing ponds) may also be constructed. Temporary
infrastructure components, which are used only during the construction phase, will likely be designed based on
relatively small return periods according to practices provided in the Land Development Guidelines for the
Protection of Aquatic Habitat (DFO, 1993), for example. Permanent infrastructure components that are intended
to be in place during mine operations will likely be designed using comparatively higher return periods as
established based on risk assessments outlined in the Dam Safety Guidelines (CDA, 2007).
Runoff from undisturbed lands would typically be diverted away from construction areas to the extent possible
(Figure 1) to minimize the amount of water requiring treatment. Nevertheless, a water quantity and quality
monitoring program must be in place (EC, 2002 and 2009) to measure the impacts of construction activities, and
determine adjustments to treatment processes, as required. Also, the diversion or manipulation of a
watercourse or stream requires regulatory authorisations, design considerations, construction monitoring and
possibly compensation depending on the watercourse morphology and fish habitat values.
Suspended solids are typically the main water quality concern in construction areas. Best management
practices (TAC 2005) should be implemented to control erosion and minimize sediment generation, and the use
of sedimentation ponds should be considered for the treatment of sediment laden water prior to release to the
environment. All of the material expected to be excavated (e.g., borrow material, waste rock either used for
construction or placed in waste rock dumps) or disturbed during construction (e.g., access/site wide road cut and
fill material, plant site disturbances) must also be identified and characterized for ARD/ML potential during the
feasibility and planning phases of a project (EC, 2009). The resulting chemical contribution to the water
management system must then be quantified to determine if other treatment options are required in addition to
suspended solid settling.
Operations
The operations phase is the period when mining activities are ongoing, including ore extraction and processing,
and management of mine wastes (i.e., tailings, heap leach facility, waste rock). The operations area constitutes
the lands where mining activities are occurring. Construction and reclaimed areas may also be included within
the operations area if their waters are directed to the operations area monitoring and treatment facilities.
December 19, 2011

Project No. 1114280024-001-R-Rev0-1000

Runoff from undisturbed lands within or reporting to the operations area (i.e., non-contact water) should be
diverted to the extent practicable to minimize the amount of water requiring monitoring and possible treatment.
Contact water would ultimately be directed to a monitoring and treatment facility (Figure 1). As is the case for
construction areas, a water quantity and quality monitoring program must be in place (EC 2002 and 2009) to
monitor the impacts of operations activities and determine necessary adjustments to treatment processes, as
required.
Sources of chemical load to water management infrastructure from water affected by mine processes
(i.e., contact water) include mine workings (open pit and underground facilities), ore and low grade ore
stockpiles, waste rock and overburden stockpiles, tailings, the mill, and drainage from other mine areas
(roads and various mine infrastructure). The source loads will be dependent on water contributions
(i.e., direct precipitation, surface runoff and groundwater) and the characteristics of the materials of which the
water has come into contact. Freshwater make-up for mine processes is also a source of chemical load. All of
these sources are further detailed in Section 3.2.
Water management infrastructure used for the mine operations area should be designed based on return
periods established from risk assessments (CDA, 2007). As for the construction phase, the water and mass
balance model would be used to simulate the movement of water within the water management infrastructure
components and would be developed in conjunction with the design effort. Details would also need to be
incorporated in the model on the operation, maintenance and surveillance of the following;
Major ponds (e.g., freshwater and process water reservoirs);
Minor ponds (e.g., storm overflow ponds, catch ponds);
Reclaim pond in the tailings management facility (TMF); or
Heap Leach Facilities and the associated PLS and Barren Solution (BS) containment facilities.
Guidelines for the development of Operation, Maintenance and Surveillance Manuals for major mine water
infrastructure are provided in the Dam Safety Guidelines (CDA, 2007), the Mining Association of Canada (MAC)
guide to the management of tailings facilities (MAC, 1998) and the MAC document on developing an operation,
maintenance and surveillance manual for tailings and water management facilities (MAC, 2005).
Closure and Reclamation

The closure and reclamation phase of a project is the period when mining activities have permanently ceased.
The reclaimed area must include landscape and drainage features that are intended to be permanent. These
features should be analogous to the natural landscape and drainage systems in terms of dynamic stability,
robustness, longevity and self-healing mechanisms. A reclaimed area may be a standalone drainage area with
its own monitoring and treatment facility (if necessary) apart from that of the operation areas (Figure 1).
Ultimately all construction and operation areas must be converted to reclaimed area.
December 19, 2011

Project No. 1114280024-001-R-Rev0-1000

Sources of chemical loads within reclaimed areas would be the same as those of the operations areas, although
reclamation measures such as re-vegetation, overburden/waste rock capping, liner installation or removal of
contamination would possibly reduce the magnitude of these loadings. The effects of these measures would
have to be incorporated into the water and mass balance model for an adequate simulation of quantity and
chemical quality of water released to the environment during closure and reclamation.
A monitoring and treatment facility would still be expected for the reclaimed area, although the required
treatment processes may evolve over time. Active treatment may be required in the early stage of closure, but
could eventually be replaced with passive treatment processes such as wetlands or engineered lakes from pits
or tailings ponds, in order to achieve a sustainable landscape and drainage systems.
The water quantity and quality monitoring program implemented for the construction and operations phases
would still be required for closure and reclamation. However, the program may be gradually modified
(including phased out) and eventually stopped entirely once it is demonstrated that the chemical quality of water
discharged from the reclaimed areas has achieved the project discharge criteria (i.e., in post-closure).
Monitoring from Construction to Closure and Reclamation

Data collection will be required from the exploration to the planning phases for establishing the baseline aquatic
and environmental settings possibly impacted by the mine project (EC 2009). The collected data will provide
support for the impact assessment of the mine project as part of YESAA and for establishing water license
conditions for the operation of the mine (including mine effluent discharge criteria). This baseline monitoring will
include water quantity and quality measurements, as well the measurement of local meteorological variables.
Water quantity monitoring will also be required from the closure and reclamation phases for the measurement of
flow or volumes of water released to the aquatic environment from all project discharge points. Monitoring of
flows in the aquatic environment is also required to assess or predict receiving water quality. Likewise, water
quantity monitoring must be implemented at least from the start of the feasibility phase and be ongoing from
construction to the closure and reclamation phases. Water quality monitoring involves regular field
measurements and sampling of water for the analysis of water quality constituents. The suites of water quality
parameters assessed and their monitoring frequency will be established in the water license issued by the YWB
and will be tailored according to each mine phase (i.e., construction to closure and reclamation phases) based
on the assessment of environmental impacts produced during the licensing and permitting review processes.
Water quantity and quality monitoring plans for the mine project are prepared during the feasibility and planning
phases and designed to allow assessment of all discharge points and the receiving aquatic environment. The
plan will define the monitoring locations, frequency, parameters and method of sampling. Sampling may be
conducted manually or in combination with the use of automated monitoring systems including for example,
pressure transducers, conductivity probes, etc.
The monitoring locations identified within the mine site will also assist with the operation of site water
management infrastructure by the mine operator. Flows, volumes and/or water levels at intermediate locations
(e.g., PLS ponds, BS ponds, tailings ponds, process water ponds, and fresh and reclaim water pumping
systems) within the mine site are recommended to support water management decisions and operations at the
site, and the validation of the water and mass balance model.

In addition to water quantity and quality monitoring, the measurement of meteorological variables construction to
closure and reclamation is essential to water management operations and validation of the water and mass
balance model. Indeed, at least one meteorological station must be installed at the mine site as soon as is
practical during the exploration or feasibility phases, and should be equipped to monitor temperature, humidity,
rainfall, snowfall, snow on the ground, wind speed and direction, pan evaporation and radiation. Snow surveys
for the estimation of snow density and water equivalent are also recommended.
Site climate data is used to characterize the effects of the atmosphere on the water management infrastructure
of the mine, notably water contributions (e.g., rainfall) and losses (e.g., evaporation and sublimation). These
data would either represent direct inputs to the water and mass balance model (e.g., rainfall) or would provide
support for the development of inputs to that model (e.g., air temperature, snowfall and snow on the ground for
the estimation of snowmelt using the degree-day method; or humidity, wind speed and radiation for the
estimation of evaporation and snowmelt from energy balance models). Extreme rainfall, rain on snow and wind
events are also determined from the climate data and used for the design of water management infrastructure.
3.2
Water Components of the Mine
This section briefly describes the water management components within the construction, operations and
reclaimed areas in Figures 1 and 2. Particular attention is given to these components as sources of chemical
loadings.
3.2.1
Fresh Water Inputs and Diversions
Freshwater input to the mill during operation from surface and groundwater sources, and/or from non-contact
water diversions in operations areas and undisturbed lands, are all sourced from the existing environment. The
chemical signature from these pathways is anticipated to be similar to that determined from characterisation of
the baseline environment (feasibility and planning phases). Freshwater input to the mill constitutes a chemical
loading that will impact the chemistry of water circulating on the operations area of the mine site.
As noted previously, best management practices (TAC 2005) for the control of erosion and sediment generation
must be considered in the design and implementation of diversion channels in order to minimize the mobilization
and release of suspended solids to the receiving environment.
3.2.2
Mine Pit and Underground Facilities
Mine pit and underground facilities are excavated areas, as are quarries and borrow pits developed during the
construction phase. The characteristics of the rock and soil surfaces exposed during the excavation process
directly influences the chemical loadings in water drained from these areas. These previously unexposed
surfaces can be subject to physical and chemical weathering, such as oxidation followed by mobilization of
oxidized metal residues by surface runoff or underground seepages. Fine particles (i.e., suspended solids)
generated from the excavation process may also be mobilized by water drainages.
December 19, 2011

Project No. 1114280024-001-R-Rev0-1000
12

The chemical signature of water sources from excavated areas will be dependent on the geochemical properties
of the material comprised in the rock and soil formations being excavated. This signature would be established
from geochemical surveys and analyses performed during the exploration, feasibility and planning phases on soil
and rock samples collected at the mine development area. Other significant factors impacting the chemical
signature of these water sources include:
Backfill: Any material backfilling excavated areas is a source of chemical loading. The chemical signature
would be established from geochemical samplings and analysis conducted on the material.
Blasting: Residues of nitrogen compounds (i.e., ammonia, nitrate and nitrite) may be generated from
blasting material (i.e., ammonium-nitrate) used in excavated areas. These residues may be mobilized by
water drainages in these areas and their quantities would be dependent on blasting practice and
performance.
Groundwater: Groundwater inflow to the excavation, pit or underground workings may also impact the
overall water quality of the water accumulating in these facilities. The groundwater quality of the region is
typically characterized during the exploration, feasibility and planning phases of the project. Additional
consideration may be required to address the impacts of pit dewatering or diversions of pit inflow that
results in drawing down the water table near the pit.
3.2.3
Stockpiles
Stockpiles of materials may be present during, and persist through, various phases of a mine project
(i.e., exploration through construction, operations and into closure and reclamation). For any type of stockpile,
chemical loadings will be dependent on the source material (e.g., the current mine area, old exploration areas,
etc) and the age of the stockpile. Geochemical analyses must consider these two factors in the assessment of
potential chemical loadings from a stockpile. Other considerations may include water volumes infiltrating into the
stockpiles and, seeping from their bases. Further details for several types of stockpiles are provided below.
Waste Rock and Overburden

Waste rock and overburden are material from excavated areas with an insufficient fraction of commodities
(i.e., solid hydrocarbons, metals and minerals) to economically justify further processing. These materials are
typically stockpiled on site for long-term storage and/or re-use in closure and reclamation. Chemical loadings
from surface runoff and leaching water originating from waste rock and overburden stockpiles will be dependent
on the material geochemical properties and age of the stockpile. Physical characteristics also to consider in the
prediction of the chemical signature of water drained from stockpiles include (Price, 2009):
The amount of material surfaces exposed to physical and chemical weathering;
Particle breakdown and migration during and after construction;
Particle sizes of the material (access to reactive minerals);

Stockpile construction and resulting structural features (deposition method, segregation as a function of
particle size, surface exposed to weathering, hydraulic conductivity);
Hydrologic characteristics such as amount of precipitation, infiltration and hydraulic conductivity; and
Mitigation measures, such as covering and lining.

Ore and Low Grade Ore

Ore is material from excavated areas with an adequate fraction of commodities to economically justify
further processing. This material is often temporarily stockpiled on site prior to processing or shipping to an
off-site processing facility. Considerations for the prediction of chemical loadings from water drained
from ore and low-grade ore stockpiles are the same as those for waste rock and overburden stockpiles
(i.e., geochemical properties of the material and physical characteristics of the stockpile such as surface
exposed to weathering, particle sizes and hydrologic characteristics).
Tailings and Spent Ore

Tailings and spent ore are the waste products resulting from the processes used to extract the commodities from
the ore material. Tailings are the fine grained products of comminution of the ore and the residue after extraction
of the commodity of interest by flotation or other processes. Spent ore is the residue of heap leach processing of
either run-of-mine or crushed ore. The factors to consider in the prediction of the drainage chemistry from
tailings (Price, 2009) are:
The geochemical and physical properties of the ore material;
Processing methods for commodity extraction, including particle size reduction and added chemicals;
Added processing to allow specific disposal, or use as backfill or construction material;
Process water use (i.e., a combination of several sources such as fresh water, drainage water from several
stockpiles, tailings pond water, and water from other mine drainage areas);
Deposition methods, which impact material segregation, and surface weathering; and
Mitigation measures, such as covering and lining.
3.2.4
Heap Leach Solution Circulation System
As illustrated in Figure 2, this system consists of a circular conveyance of water among the following facilities:
the BS pond, the heap leach facility, the PLS pond and the process plant. As part of the heap leach operation,
ore is placed on a lined pad (i.e., the heap leach facility) and is irrigated with an acid leach solution, from the
BS pond. Water leaching from the pad constitutes a solution commonly referred to as a pregnant leach solution
or PLS (i.e. a solution loaded with leached metals), and is conveyed though a collection system to the PLS pond.
Water from the PLS pond is then directed to the process plant to extract the metal from that PLS solution.
Finally, the water from the process plant is conveyed to the BS pond to complete the circulation system. The
factors to consider in the prediction of the drainage chemistry from the heap leach facilities (barren pond, heap
leach facility, PLS pond and process plant) are the following;
Reagents applied to the leach solution;
Water sources in the circulation system (i.e., recycled, fresh water inputs, precipitations, and water from
other areas of the mine); and
Processing methods for commodity extraction.

3.2.5
Mine Drainage Areas and Disturbed Lands for Construction
Mine drainage areas consist of all lands in the operations areas other than mine workings, stockpiles, mills and
water ponds. These lands would include infrastructure supporting the mine, such as the maintenance and tool
shops, warehouses, explosive storage and handling areas, residential and administrative buildings, airstrips,
ports, and road and rail networks. The lands would typically be stripped of vegetation, with the soil or rock
surface subject to erosion and weathering. Therefore, the chemical signature of water drained from these lands
would be impacted by land erosion, the effect of weathering on native ground, material used for the construction
of the mine infrastructure and the presence of other potential contaminants such as process solutions,
explosives, hydrocarbons, and other waste materials.
Disturbed lands for construction consist of lands that have been stripped but where mining activities have yet to
take place. Similar to mine drainage areas, the chemical signature of water from disturbed lands would be
impacted by land erosion and weathering of exposed native soils and construction materials.
3.2.6
Reclaimed Lands
Reclaimed lands consist of areas previously used for operations or construction, and which have since been
developed as sustainable landscape and drainage systems, either during operations as concurrent reclamation,
or following the end of mining activities in that area. The chemical composition of water reporting from these
lands will be dependent upon the mine facilities reclaimed (i.e., mine workings and stockpiles). However,
loadings from these sources would be expected to be reduced by reclamation activities such as covering and
capping of stockpiles, overburden and waste rock, or flooding of open pits. The objective of reclamation
activities would be to ultimately return chemical loadings from these lands to project specific criteria for closure
and reclamation.
3.2.7
Monitoring and Treatment Areas
Water contributions from land impacted by the mining development (i.e., construction, operations and reclaimed
areas) must be monitored throughout all the mine phases, and if necessary, treated before being discharged to
the receiving environment. The monitoring program would involve field measurements of in-situ parameters
(e.g., temperature, pH, conductivity, oxygen reduction potential and dissolved oxygen), as well as the collection
of water samples for further chemical analysis, in order to assess potential source loadings, water treatment
performance and adjustments to mining or treatment activities as required.
Mine effluent discharged to the receiving environment is governed by the discharge criteria defined in the project
water license and needs to meet the minimum water quality thresholds at the discharge outfall as defined under
the Metal Mining Effluent Regulations (EC, 2002). Meeting water quality thresholds for the protection of aquatic
life (CCME, 2007) or drinking water (FPTCDW, 2008) would typically require establishing compliance monitoring
location(s) in the receiving environment.
As noted above, monitoring of water quantity and quality at intermediate locations (e.g., stockpile water
collection ponds, tailings pond, process water pond, underground workings and freshwater sources) within the
mine site during construction, operation and closure and reclamation is necessary for operational purposes. The
data gathered from this monitoring is used for the validation and refinement of the water and mass balance
model developed for the mine project and for supporting decisions on adjusting mining and treatment activities.

Project No. 1114280024-001-R-Rev0-1000
15

A broad range of water treatment measures may be used depending on the needs of the mine development. A
sedimentation pond is expected for the collection of any surface water discharge from the mine footprint.
Flocculation may sometimes be required to promote suspended solid removal in addition to settling. Chemical
and/or biological treatment measures may be required to reduce elevated concentrations of dissolved
constituents and would typically involve the use of a polishing pond or a water treatment plant depending on the
recommended treatment processes.
For reclaimed areas, effluent treatment will be required until monitoring results completed under MMER indicate
that the chemical quality of the water is acceptable for direct discharge to the receiving environment without
further treatment. Additional follow-up may be required where MMER monitoring is no longer in place
particularly when site closure has been achieved but further monitoring may be warranted. Depending on the
effluent chemical signature, treatment may evolve from active (i.e., engineered chemical and biological facilities)
to passive treatment approaches, such as wetlands or pit lakes, in order to create self-sustaining landscapes
and drainage systems. Natural biochemical (e.g., substance decay) and physical (i.e., settling) processes
involved in wetlands and lakes may be sufficient to treat moderate levels of several water quality constituents at
relatively low operational and maintenance costs.

4.0
WATER AND MASS BALANCE MODELLING FOR MINING
Water and mass balance models are decision support tools for mining projects intended to assist operators with
mine site water management. Models are extremely useful for regulators to assess whether a project has
potential for significant environmental effects on water quality. Models are frequently used in the mining industry
to substantiate water management alternatives, design key infrastructure components, and assess the
uncertainty underlying current and future water management scenarios. They allow assessment of several mine
plan options, and enable evaluation of environmental impacts over the mine life and assessment of cumulative
effects and risks over time.
Water and mass balance models exist in deterministic and probabilistic formulation. Deterministic models
operate with set inputs for the prediction of average water quantity and quality conditions and the evaluation of
specific scenarios (i.e., extreme cases, climate change and sensitivity analysis). Probabilistic models use
stochastic inputs in the form of probability distributions to explicitly represent uncertainty and/or variability in the
system that is being modelled. The output results are also expressed in the form of probability distributions and
provide the likelihood of occurrence of a result. Probabilistic model formulations are used for uncertainty
analyses.
Simple average monthly or annual deterministic simulations may be all that is required for feasibility, but
increased model complexity and the ability for stochastic simulations will be required as the mine proceeds to the
planning, construction, operations and closure and reclamation phases.
This section provides a general description for developing water and mass balance models for mining projects.
The model components addressed in this section include:
1)
The general settings of models in terms of the spatial and temporal modelling domains and selection of
results displays;
2)
The generation of model inputs;
3)
Required model outputs; and
4)
Additional modelling considerations such as climate change, and sensitivity and uncertainty analyses.
4.1
Water and Mass Balance Model General Settings
Water and mass balance models must be developed to specifically characterize the mining project under study.
Spreadsheets, general purpose simulators or water-related specialised models are tools and components to be
used in the development of a water and mass balance modelling package. The type of model selected must be
based on sound engineering judgment, the phase of mine life being modelled, and an understanding that even
the most sophisticated and detailed models are only an approximation of what may occur. A reasonable degree
of accuracy would be required; however, the main intent of a model is to allow assessment of the different
factors that may impact water management at the mine site (e.g., changes in climate conditions, dimensions of a
reclaim pond, or mitigation measures applied to a stockpile). Such an assessment may be conducted through
sensitivity and/or uncertainty analysis, and would be used to support the establishment of the most appropriate
water management practices and infrastructure for the mine site.

Simple average monthly or annual deterministic models may be sufficient for feasibility level simulations;
however, increased model complexity and/or stochastic simulations may be required as the mine proceeds to
the planning, construction, operations and closure and reclamation phases. The resulting modelling package
must be developed to provide predictions that are both realistic and conservative.
Water and mass balance models must be developed during the initial feasibility and planning phases to cover
the whole mine life cycle period from the start of mine development to a date sufficiently far in the future where
the reclaimed landscape is considered self-sustaining following complete closure of the mine. A common
practice for relatively small mining projects extending over a short period of time is to develop a dynamic model
for deterministic or probabilistic simulation of the entire mine cycle, from development to closure and
reclamation. However, the modelling burden of such an approach may eventually become onerous for projects
of larger magnitude or extending over a significant period of time. In such cases, the strategy would be to model
select periods of the mine cycle (i.e., model only the mine plan and water management infrastructure in place at
a given period of the mine life). Two modeling options would be applicable under this strategy:
Model water quantity and quality for each select period over one year, for several different
climate scenarios; typically the average climate conditions and representative wet and dry climates
(e.g., 10 or 100 year dry or wet yearly precipitation); and/or
Model water quantity and quality over a longer simulation time (e.g., 50 years), using the mine plan and
water management infrastructure in place for the selected period for the entire simulation time
(this modelling task must be done for each selected period).
The first option is relatively simple and straightforward, and would typically be implemented over a hydrologic
year, typically defined from October 1 to September 30 depending on local hydrologic conditions, mainly to
better capture the progression of the snowpack growth and depletion. The second option requires long time
series of model inputs (i.e., climate variables, inflows and water quality constituent concentrations or sources
waters), but a wide array of combinations of climate, flows and source water concentration conditions would be
expected in the longer simulation. The second option has been applied to several environmental impact
assessments in the Athabasca oil sands region of Northern Alberta (Shell, 2005 and 2007; Imperial, 2005;
Suncor, 2005). A sufficient number of periods must be selected to include all phases of the mine life, from
construction to closure and reclamation. The periods should also conservatively capture expected critical
changes in mining activities that will potentially impact water quantity and quality predictions. In further stages of
planning, the number of periods and their position in time during the mine life would be updated to reflect
adjustments in the mine development plan.
The spatial domain defined in models must include all construction, operations and reclaimed areas planned for
the mine life. Changes in the extent of these areas over time must be incorporated in dynamic models
simulating the entire mine life, whereas modelling of mine development periods must reflect the extent of these
areas over the period of time being simulated. In further stages of planning, the models must be updated to
reflect any adjustments to the extent of the construction, operations, and reclaimed areas.

Models must be developed to provide results (i.e., range of flows, water quantity and quality) at select locations
(or display nodes) within the mine footprint and in the receiving environment. The selection of locations in the
receiving environment must include at a minimum locations where compliance with proposed or regulatory water
quality thresholds must be met to satisfy regulatory review processes. The selection of locations within the mine
footprint should target specific sources of chemical loadings (e.g., tailings ponds, stockpile water collection
ponds, etc.) to assist in the review and development of mining and treatment processes.
Model development should include a conceptual water balance schematic and a list of flow components to
facilitate model review by peers, regulators and other stakeholders involved in the regulatory review process. A
summary of model assumptions (e.g., runoff coefficients, runoff during winter, planned discharge points, and
infrastructure operational criteria) and consulted documentation must also be included to facilitate review.
Appendix B (sheets 7, 8 and 9) presents an example water balance schematic and associated list of flow
components and assumptions. The model general settings (i.e., modelling period, spatial domain and expected
results) should be clearly defined from the early stage of the project. Initial consultations between the mine
operator and regulators on these settings are strongly recommended to establish a clear understanding of
expectations prior to undertaking model development.
4.2
Model Inputs
4.2.1
Mine Process and Dewatering Inputs
The mine plan serves as the primary information source for the development of the water and mass balance
model. The mine plan is essentially a schedule that defines the progression over time of vegetation and
overburden stripping, pit and/or underground development, stockpiles and tailings deposition, overburden
deposition and re-vegetation for reclamation and closure.
Production characteristics at the mill and/or thickener will also be required for input to the water and mass
balance model. Typical model inputs from the operation of the processing mill and thickener may include:
Ore throughput;
Minimum freshwater requirement;
Make-up, reclaim and/or recycle water requirements;
For mines with tailings facilities;
Tailings production and tailings slurry water (or solids) content; and
Water incoming and leaving the mill with the ore processed.
For mines with heap leach facilities;
Irrigation rate for heap leach circuits; and

Saturated water content and residual water content after drain down.
December 19, 2011

Project No. 1114280024-001-R-Rev0-1000
19

Other operational processes or constraints, such as pumping and water storage capacities, discharge windows,
and other water requirements (e.g., dust control, fire suppression, and potable water) may also be required.
Dewatering activities from mine workings (i.e., open pits or underground facilities) may constitute an appreciable
water source to the mine site. Water volumes extracted from dewatering activities also represent inputs to the
water and mass balance, and are typically estimated from hydrogeologic studies.
4.2.2
Physical Inputs
Physical inputs may not be direct inputs to water and mass balance models. However, these inputs are used to
establish drainage basins and determine runoff coefficients that can be used in the models to characterize
hydrologic productivity (i.e., water quantity from a watershed) within the mine development area and the
surrounding environment. Typical physical inputs can include, but are not limited to, topography, land uses and
associated runoff coefficients based on vegetation, soil, surficial geology and presence of permafrost.
Water and mass balance models that characterize hydrologic productivity using runoff coefficients (as is the
case with the model presented in Section 5) are typically sensitive to such coefficients. Such models remain
acceptable if the modelling time step is relatively long (e.g., monthly). However, the selection of model runoff
coefficients should be supported with adequate assumptions and/or data, including physical, climate
(Section 4.2.3) and hydrologic and hydrogeologic (Section 4.2.4) inputs. These coefficients should also be
included as parameters in the model sensitivity analysis.
Other physical inputs required to develop water and mass balance models include storage (area or volume as a
function of depth, or bathymetry), flow and/or pumping capacities of water management infrastructure
components that are expected on the mine site, such as ditches, culverts, bridges, ponds, pipes, pumps and
siphons. The design of these components is typically advanced conjointly with the development of the water and
mass balance model.
4.2.3
Climate Inputs
Climate inputs will be established from existing meteorological data within the region of the mining projects.
Environment Canada and regional governments operate weather and flow monitoring stations which may
provide a major source of regional meteorological data for the project. Data from private operators may
sometimes be obtained. It is always recommended to install at least one meteorological station within the mine
development area, preferably during the exploration or feasibility phases and no later than the initial stages of
the planning phase. More than one station may be required for projects affected with variable climate conditions
over the local surface area, including for a mine footprint spreading over several valleys or significant elevation
differences (orographic effects). A meteorological station will provide the necessary local data to assist in
assessing long term climate characteristics that are representative of the local conditions at the mine site.
Meteorological stations are affordable, relatively easy to install and operate, and may be fitted to allow remote
data access. The station should be kept active for the remaining phases of the mine development; that is, from
construction to closure and reclamation.
The climate inputs will affect the modelled quantity of water available for mining activities and consequently will
impact the modelled water quality at the effluent discharge locations. Primary climate variables are temperature,
precipitation (i.e., rainfall and snowfall), snow on the ground and evaporation. Temperature data are often used
with physical inputs (Section 4.2.2) for the determination of runoff coefficients (i.e., temperature is not a direct

input to the models), while the other primary climate variables are often used as direct climate inputs to water
and mass balance models. Additional climate variables may include humidity, radiation, wind speed and
direction, and snow characteristics (depth, density and water equivalent). These variables, along with
temperature, can be used for the calculation of snowmelt, evapotranspiration and sublimation inputs to water
and mass balance models. Precipitation and wind data are also used for the design of water management
infrastructure.
Climate inputs to water and mass balance models are typically expressed in the form of time series. The type of
series produced may include the long term average repeated on an annual basis, extreme dry or wet conditions
for sensitivity analyses, long time series (e.g., 50 years) derived from observed data for modelling periods, or
randomly generated series for uncertainty analyses.
4.2.4
Hydrologic and Hydrogeologic Inputs
Hydrologic and hydrogeologic data may or may not represent direct inputs to the water and mass balance
models. These inputs would however be employed to determine runoff coefficients on lands within the mine
development area and the surrounding environment, and potential inflows into open pits and underground
workings. Flow time series from regional hydrometric stations would be used conjointly with precipitation data
and physical characteristics for the derivation of regional runoff coefficients. Installation of hydrometric stations
for monitoring flows in streams within or near the mine development area is necessary to determine the local
runoff and flow regime. Likewise, groundwater boreholes and wells would give an indication of local
groundwater table elevations on a seasonal basis, flow direction, recharge and flow rates, and potential artesian
conditions. These monitoring stations should be in place during the feasibility and planning phases, and be
active as required throughout the operations, closure and reclamation phases.
Additional hydrologic and hydrogeologic data would include, but not be limited to the following:
1)
Ice cover and open water characteristics (i.e., thickness, initiation and break dates);
2)
Water levels, surface areas, bathymetry and volumes in water bodies potentially affected by the mine
development;
3)
Flow regime of local and regional streams potentially affected by the mine development;
4)
Observed groundwater seepage from valley walls and in the open pits; and
5)
Observed groundwater flow into underground mine workings, when applicable.
4.2.5
Water Quality Inputs
Time series of concentrations or loadings, for all water quality constituents, from all water sources involved in the
mine development must be incorporated in the water balance models to:
Determine the mass of each water quality constituent circulating in the mine water management system;
and
Estimate the resulting constituent concentrations in the mine effluents.
December 19, 2011

Project No. 1114280024-001-R-Rev0-1000
21

The required time series varies with the modelling option selected (Section 4.1). Possible options include:
Long term average concentrations (i.e., daily, weekly, monthly or seasonal concentrations, depending on
availability) when the modelling option involves selected periods of the mine cycle assessed over one year;
Long term average concentrations repeated on an annual basis for a dynamic simulation over the entire
mine life; or
Randomly generated concentration time series from probability distributions of concentrations developed
based on sample or geochemical analysis for a dynamic simulation over the entire mine life or as input to
long term simulations on selected periods of the mine cycle (time series can be generated to a resolution as
fine as a daily time step).
In the first option, modelling an extreme high or low concentration time series should also be done as part of a
sensitivity analysis, while a year of extreme high or low concentrations at critical periods of the mine life should
be inserted in the model series for the second option. In these two options, the selected extremes must
nevertheless be realistic, in order to provide a representative outcome for the project. The third option should
include modelling randomly generating time series of extreme high or low concentrations as a sensitivity
analysis, and/or randomly generating multiple time series (e.g., 500 or 1000 per constituent, per water source)
for uncertainty analysis. For all options, the time series must be developed with data from analytical results of
water samples or geochemical inputs, which are discussed further below.
Water Sampling
Water sampling programs should be implemented during the feasibility and planning phases in order to establish
baseline water quality conditions. The samples obtained would be considered representative of background
water quality for freshwater inputs to the mine, runoff from undisturbed land, groundwater, and water bodies in
the receiving environment. Sampling from other water sources may also be collected once the mine is active to
validate geochemical surveys and analyses. Water sampling programs must assist in characterizing possible
seasonal variations in water quality constituent concentrations. Sampling is expected to be undertaken several
times over the course of a year, and may be as frequent as monthly during the feasibility and planning phases in
areas with little or no historical samples. Sampling frequencies from the construction to the closure phases are
established under the mine water license and will typically be dependent on the type of waters (i.e., natural and
mine waters). Sampling programs should include winter sampling (during the sampling campaign, specific
justifications such as dry or frozen streams, waterbodies or wells should be provided when sampling could not
be achieved at a given location).
Basic statistical characteristics (i.e., mean, median or specific high or low percentile) on the concentrations
obtained from these samples may be sufficient for building constant or seasonally varying time series repeated
on an annual basis. Probability distributions must be fit on these concentrations for building randomly generated
time series. A basic methodology for fitting probability distributions on concentration data is provided in EPA
(1991). Figure 3 incorporates this methodology and complements outputs with additional features such as
outlier detection and definition of minimum and maximum bounds to assist in the generation of time series within
representative ranges of observed concentrations.

Geochemical Inputs
Soil and rock samples should be tested during the exploration, feasibility and planning phases to determine the
geochemical properties, including ARD/ML potential, of material excavated, used or processed as part of the
mine development. Required data and methodology for geochemical (ARD/ML) characterization are outlined in:
Price (1997 and 2009), Price et al (1998), MEND (2005), EC (2009) and INAP (2009). These referenced
documents provide guidance for determining and obtaining geochemical inputs for various mine site components
and also provide the considerations and limitations for each characterization methodology.
The objective of a geochemical characterization is to obtain information necessary to predict potential water
quality constituent concentrations in water drained from mine workings, stockpiles and tailings ponds. From the
exploration to the planning phases, water quality model inputs for mine site components will mostly be derived
from the results of static testing and kinetic testing as part of geochemical characterization programs. These
programs could include testing of waste rock that may have been exposed during previous exploration or mining
work. During operations, on-site monitoring data or data from field test facilities can be used to confirm and/or
revise the geochemical inputs used.
The methodology for mine site drainage chemistry predictions is illustrated in Figure 4 as adapted from
Price (2009). Steps 1 to 3 of the geochemical characterization program are intended to define the objectives of
the geochemical program and develop a general understanding of the relative timing of potential issues.
Geochemical desktop studies and field programs are developed from these steps. Regional and local geology,
climate, hydrology, hydrogeology and geology data will be collected and used to get an understanding of the
changes to physical, geochemical, biological and engineering properties and processes as they relate to water
quality.
Steps 4 through 6 are implemented to determine what materials must be sampled and to select samples that are
potentially representative of those materials. Sample selection must account for the potential physical and
spatial variability in material types that may be present on site. Once samples are collected, they are typically
sent to a lab to first undergo static and then possibly kinetic testing. Static tests provide one-time (snap-shot)
results whereas kinetic tests provide time dependent rates of chemical reactions. Typically kinetic tests are
limited to samples identified from the static testing to be representative of a material to be characterized.
Step 7 of the geochemical program encompasses the data analysis and interpretations from both static and
kinetic tests to interpret the potential drainage of the various mine site components. This step is typically
conducted through the use of modelling software to support the prediction of drainage chemistry. Basic statistics
(i.e., mean, median or specific high or low percentile) may be extracted from these predictions and a probability
distribution may be selected based on reasonable assumptions for the production of randomly generated time
series.

4.2.6
Model Input Uncertainties
Uncertainties will likely be induced in the estimation of the model inputs (Section 4.2.1 to 4.2.5), and will
potentially be related to relatively short existing data records, sparse regional monitoring, and/or data gaps in
regional and local monitoring programs. Uncertainties may be addressed through:
Sensitivity analysis, where inputs are varied one at a time to determine the potential variation in model
results (variation of the inputs must be sufficiently large to provide conservative modelling results); and
Uncertainty analysis, where several realisations of the inputs are defined and fed to the model to define the
range of potential results.
These types of analyses and effects on modelling are discussed further in Section 4.4.
4.3
Outputs
Outputs from the model will be the ranges of flows, water volumes or water levels, and constituent
concentrations at selected locations in the mine development area, including mine effluent release points, and
the receiving environment. Result summaries in the form of basic statistical characteristics, such as the mean,
median, high and low percentiles, and variations though time, should be presented in tabular format for both
water quantity and quality.
Water quality of effluent discharges must be compared against regulatory and licensed thresholds (i.e., MMER).
Certain constituents in effluent discharge may exceed the thresholds, and consequently mitigation or treatment
measures must be modelled and implemented to improve effluent water quality.
In the case of discharge locations in the receiving environment, predicted concentrations as a result of mine
activities must be compared against background concentrations and project-specific thresholds based on aquatic
life and drinking water guidelines. Predicted constituent concentrations may exceed background concentrations
and/or thresholds. The probability of these exceedances should be calculated and an aquatic and health
assessment on these constituents might be required to support the regulatory review process or environmental
effect monitoring studies.
Depending on the parameter being presented and the range in model results, the result summary tables may
possibly be divided into representative seasons. Water quantity and quality outputs may also be presented in
graphs as support to the summary tables. Time series graphs are typical for flows, water volumes or water
levels, and may also be used for constituent concentrations. Figure 5 illustrates an example of a time series
graph of modelled water volume and water level in a tailings pond with continuous deposition of tailings over
time. Figure 6 is an example of a time series graph applied to a water quality constituent. Such a graph may be
produced for each water quantity variable and each water quality constituent, for each selected location.
However, time series graphs may become cumbersome if they depict long periods of time. Figure 7 is an
alternative by which the time series of a select variable is sorted in ascending order to present the model results
in terms probability of occurrence (or attainment). This type of graph is particularly suited for the assessment of
water quality constituents where the probability of exceeding a given threshold may be read directly from the
figure.

Additional Modelling Considerations

Sensitivity and Uncertainty Analyses
Sensitivity and uncertainty analyses are used to determine the impacts of changes in the model inputs.
Uncertainties will be introduced in the estimation of model inputs and parameters (e.g., runoff or snowmelt
coefficients) due to relatively short data records, sparse regional monitoring, and/or data gaps in regional and
local monitoring programs. The objective of the analyses are to evaluate the potential magnitude of changes in
modelled water quantity and quality results from corresponding changes in the values of model inputs for a
conservative assessment of potential impacts from the mine project to the aquatic environment.
A sensitivity analysis is the process whereby the value (or time series) of one model input is changed while
keeping the other inputs unchanged in order to determine the relative influence of the changed input on
simulation results. The input parameters identified as generating large variations in simulation results for a small
variation in their value are considered sensitive. Further studies or field programs may be required to obtain
greater confidence in the assignment of the model values for these inputs. Sensitive model inputs parameters
may also be further considered in an uncertainty analysis.
Uncertainty associated with water quantity and quality inputs may be considered by fitting probability
distributions to observed data and using several sets of sampled data from the distribution as inputs into the
model. Each sampled data set represents a possible realisation of climate, hydrologic and water quality
conditions affecting the mine project. Each realisation is fed into the model to produce corresponding outputs
(i.e., flows, volumes, constituent concentrations). The results from all realisations are then compiled to establish
a distribution for each output. This form of uncertainty analysis is often referred to in practice as Monte Carlo
simulations. Results of the uncertainty analysis are typically summarized by extracting relevant percentiles from
the output distributions (e.g., the 5th and 95th percentile to obtain the 90% confidence band).

Figure 8 illustrates the process of uncertainty analysis assuming the development of 200 realisations for inputs
comprised of flows, constituent concentrations and typical water quantity and quality parameters, such as
seepage rates and decay for degradable constituents. Figure 9 also presents an example results summary for a
given water quality constituent where predicted concentrations for the expected average conditions are bounded
by the 5th and 95th percentiles determined from uncertainty analysis.
Conclusions on sensitivity and uncertainty analysis should demonstrate a reasonable understanding of the
changes effected by varying given model inputs and the interactions between the model inputs.

Climate Change
Climate change predictions for typical climate periods and various regions across the world, including Canada
and the Yukon, are presented in the report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2007).
These are regional predictions and may be used for preliminary assessment during the feasibility phase of
mining projects. As an example typical climate period predictions specific to the Yukon are also provided in the
advice letter on assessing potential impacts of future climate change in Yukon Territory (EC, 2006). A copy of
this letter is provided in Appendix C (this advice letter may be updated from time to time without notice). The
assessment of the impact of climate changes on predictions of water quantity and quality involves running the
water and mass balance model with scenarios of predicted future air temperature and precipitation.
An assessment of climate change impacts may also be incorporated in the water and mass balance model
uncertainty analysis. Instead of using the historical climate conditions, the model would run input realisations
that consider a future scenario of air temperature and precipitation. The consequent bands of water quantity and
quality predictions can be compared with those obtained for uncertainty analyses completed with the historical
climate, and/or with the expected average conditions (see Figure 10 as an example).

EXCEL-BASED DETERMINISTIC WATER AND MASS BALANCE

MODEL
A simple deterministic water and mass balance model built on linked Excel spreadsheets may be adequate,
along with sound engineering judgment, to provide a basic understanding of flows and effluent water quality over
a given range of operating and climatic conditions. The Excel-based deterministic water and mass balance
models accompanying this guidance document are meant to provide a generic template for the calculation of
water movements within the mine development area and for the prediction of mine water chemical quality. The
following sections provide instruction in the use of the model templates, including a brief summary of the model
structure and operations. The model templates for mines with tailings facilities and mines with heap leach
facilities are designed as much as possible using the same template, with some differences. The Introduction
sheets of the Excel spreadsheet template, the water balance model description sheets, and the climate inputs
parameter sheets are common to both templates (see Section 5.1). Subsequent sections diverge and are
therefore described in sections 5.2 for tailings facilities and 5.3 for heap leach facilities. Appendix B and
Appendix C presents illustrations of the model spreadsheets. The required model input information is indicated
by orange shaded cells in the spreadsheets.
5.1
Model Templates Introduction, Description and Climate Inputs
5.1.1
Main Assumptions of the Excel Spreadsheet Model
The Excel spreadsheet model templates are based on very simplified assumptions and greater model complexity
may be required to assess the performance of more elaborate water management systems and complex mining
project conditions. Key assumptions in the development of the accompanying Excel-based monthly water and
mass balance model include the following:
Each sub-watershed pond is equipped with pumps or a discharge structure that can evacuate all of the
monthly inflows (i.e., there is no net accumulation/storage of water in the ponds);
There are sufficient monthly inflows to satisfy all water demands on an infrastructure by infrastructure basis
(the accompanying model will highlight the negative values when the inflows are insufficient); and
Hydrologic productivity (i.e., water quantity from a watershed) is characterized in the water and mass
balance model by the runoff coefficients, which in turn are determined with the support of physical, climate
and hydrologic and hydrogeologic inputs (Section 4).
It remains the responsibility of the user to verify the validity of the model for their mine developments
and to perform required adjustments to the models structure and equations to satisfy the needs of their
projects. Golder cannot be held responsible of any water balance model and/or model results produced
by other users using the model template provided.
The current structure of the model is primarily intended to demonstrate the integration of a mass balance with a
water balance, and may be used as a preliminary assessment tool in estimating the required capacity of mine
water management infrastructure at a given site. Adjustments to the structure and equations of the model will be
required to incorporate site- and infrastructure-specific characteristics. These characteristics would allow
refinement of the first key assumption presented above, and would notably include:
December 19, 2011

Project No. 1114280024-001-R-Rev0-1000
32

The pumping capacity of all pump systems;
The storage-elevation curves of all ponds and reservoirs at the mine site;
The discharge-elevation curves of all outlets at the mine site; and
Operational guidelines, such as minimum and maximum operating water levels of ponds and reservoirs, as
well as physical constraints (e.g., crest elevation) of these retention structures.
It is expected that these characteristics would be implemented and updated gradually as part of ongoing review
and refinement of the model.
Addressing the second key assumption involves the implementation of conditional rules in the model structure to
prevent water storages from producing negative volumes (e.g., if the water elevation of the tailings pond is below
the minimum operating level, then no water can be pumped from that pond to the mill in the model). These
conditional rules would be built based on the storage- and discharge-elevation curves and operational guidelines
that are specific to the components of the water management infrastructure planned for the mine site.
5.1.2
Introduction Sheets of the Excel Spreadsheet Model
Sheets 1 to 4 contain general information about the model and the mine site.
Sheet 1 is the model cover sheet where basic project information is input by the user (e.g., mine name,
owner, location, ore mined, modelled mine year, etc.).
Sheet 2 presents the Table of Contents (TOC) for the model. The TOC should be updated to reflect any
changes made to the model.
Sheet 3 presents a brief explanation of the project and site characteristics. The information entered in this
sheet is meant to provide general background information for peers and regulators that are not necessarily
familiar with the project. The information presented in sheet 3 is not used elsewhere in the model.
Sheet 4 presents commonly used units, symbols and abbreviations. The user should update this sheet to
reflect the units and symbols that are of importance for the mining project.
5.1.3
Water Balance Model Description
Sheets 5 to 9 describe the model philosophy, approach and set-up, in addition to providing a brief explanation of
flows and assumptions related to the mine project.
Sheet 5 provides information about the modelling philosophy and cautions users to keep the model as
simple as practical and avoid building unnecessary sophistication that is not warranted. It also provides
information regarding the simulation period covered.

Project No. 1114280024-001-R-Rev0-1000

Sheet 6 provides information on how the model is set-up and the characteristics that typical deterministic
water and mass balance models should have. The user should update this sheet to reflect any changes
made to the model.
Sheet 7 briefly explains the flows and assumptions used in the model. The user should update this sheet to
reflect any changes made to the model. The information presented in this sheet is an essential component
of any model documentation to facilitate model review by peers, regulators and other stakeholders involved
in the project and regulatory review process.
Sheets 8 and 9 present the water balance flow diagram and its associated list of flow components. Models
should always include a conceptual water balance schematic and a list of flow components to facilitate
model development and review. The user must update sheets 8 and 9 to reflect project specific conditions
and settings.
5.1.4
Climate Input Parameters
Sheet 10 summarizes the precipitation, runoff and evaporation data used in the model. The user must update
this sheet to reflect site precipitation, runoff and evaporation conditions. The monthly mean precipitation is
required to generate an annual monthly distribution. The user can also enter an annual precipitation based on
design criteria or the water management scenarios being assessed (e.g., mean, wet or dry years). The selected
annual precipitation will be distributed on a monthly basis based on the annual mean precipitation distribution.
Runoff factors per catchment area are also required from the user. Additionally, monthly runoff expressed as a
percentage of accumulation is required to account for winter snow accumulation. Similarly, the annual mean pan
evaporation is required to generate the monthly evaporation distribution. The user must also select an annual
evaporation amount (typically, mean, wet or dry years) that will be distributed on a monthly basis. A factor to
convert pan evaporation to lake evaporation should be provided, when applicable. All assumptions must be well
documented and referenced.
Completing the tables for short-term design storm events and annual long-term precipitation statistics is not
essential to the model. However, the values in these two tables may be used when assessing water
management scenarios and selecting an annual precipitation for flow modelling.
Developing a water and mass balance model using monthly precipitation is typically acceptable for the initial
phases of the project (i.e., exploration and feasibility). However, considering precipitation at a shorter time step
(e.g., daily) may subsequently be required for subsequent project phases. Using rainfall and rain-on-snow
events of short durations (i.e., 24 hours or less, depending on the watershed time of concentration) will be
required for the detailed design of water management infrastructure.

5.2
Mines Operating Tailings Facilities
5.2.1
Operating Data & Flows Associated with Processing the Ore
Sheets 11 to 15 present the operating data and flows associated with processing of the ore. The planned
production schedule over the mine life is entered in Sheet 11 (production schedule details). The production
schedule may vary throughout the mine life depending on the mine operation. The schedule is meant to provide
a mine life overview; however, the water balance model only considers one year at a time, and as a result the
user must enter the production year to model in the production schedule summary table.
The mine year is defined in the Excel spreadsheet to match a hydrologic year, typically from October 1 to
September 30 depending upon the local hydrologic conditions. While the spreadsheet is suited to model a
period of one year in the life of the mine, using hydrologic years remains recommended if the spreadsheet is
expanded to dynamically simulate the entire life of the mine in order to properly represent important natural
processes such as the growth and depletion of the snowpack. If necessary, the operating data would be set to
zero for the portion of the first hydrologic year when the mine is not yet active.
Operating data on the ore and tailings production, flows impacting the mill water balance, and other flows
impacting the model are entered in Sheet 12.
No input of information is required in Sheets 13 to 15. Instead, these sheets use the information entered in
Sheet 12 to estimate the process make-up freshwater requirements and losses at the mill, and to compute the
operating data and flows associated with processing the ore. Specifically:
Sheet 13 presents an estimation of the freshwater make-up required at the mill, as well as the water lost to
evaporation and spillage at the mill;
Sheet 14 calculates the operating data and flows associated with processing the ore using the calculations
and formulas detailed within this sheet; and
Sheet 15 presents the summary of the mill water balance and flows associated with processing the ore.
The monthly flows presented in this sheet are used in subsequent model sheets for water and mass
balance calculations.
5.2.2
Flows Associated with Runoff from Precipitation
Sheets 16 to 23 present the flows associated with runoff from precipitation. In Sheet 16, the user must input
information on the watershed and sub-watershed areas for the mine site. These areas may change as the mine
develops, and as such, Sheet 16 should be updated to reflect the planned catchment areas for the mine year
being modelled. The information from Sheet 16 is used in subsequent model sheets to calculate runoff flows.
Sheets 17 to 23 present the flows, per sub-watershed, associated with runoff from precipitation for the flow
components presented in the flow logic diagram (Sheet 8). No user input is necessary as these sheets perform
calculations based on the input catchment areas from Sheet 16 and the precipitation inputs from Sheet 10.

5.2.3
Evaporation, Seepage and Miscellaneous Flows
Sheets 24 to 26 present the evaporation losses, the seepage flows and other flows. Sheet 24 calculates
evaporation losses based on the input lake evaporation from Sheet 10 and the pond areas for each
sub-watershed, as defined in Sheet 16. No input of information is required in Sheet 24.
Sheet 25 calculates seepage flows based on user input daily estimates, and the monthly seepage flows to and
from each modelled pond is calculated. It is important to note that seepage flows reporting to the environment,
under the definition of the MMER, are considered as final effluent discharges. As such seepage flows may
require monitoring for flow rate and quality before being released to the environment.
Sheet 26 calculates other flows such as water for dust control, potable water and treated sewage, based on
information from Sheet 12 and user inputs. The monthly distribution of the annual dust control water volume is
required to be input on Sheet 26.
5.2.4
Water Balance Modelled Flows
Sheets 27 to 35 present the modelled flows per sub-watershed. A summary of the monthly flows for each flow
component of the sub-watershed presented in the flow logic diagram (Sheet 8) is presented on Sheets 27 to 33.
Sheet 34 presents a summary of each modelled flows/losses on a monthly basis. Sheet 35 presents a summary
of the key inputs that were used in the water balance model. No user input is required in Sheets 27 to 35.
5.2.5
Mass Balance Effluent and Receiving Water Quality
Sheets 36 to 47 present the mass balance module. In Sheets 36 and 37, the user inputs the constituent
concentrations associated with runoff, precipitation, discharge and seepage for each flow component presented
in the flow logic diagram (Sheet 8).
Sheet 36 requires input of concentrations associated with mine flows, while Sheet 37 requires input for the
receiving environment, upstream of each compliance point. The constituent concentration values entered in
these sheets are used in Sheets 38 to 44 for mass loading calculations based on the flows computed in previous
sheets.
Sheet 45 calculates the modelled water quality at the identified mine effluent discharge points. The water
quality, expressed as a concentration, is based on the discharge load and associated flow rate calculated in
previous sheets.
Sheet 46 presents the water quality criteria for the following:
Metal Mining Effluents Regulations (EC, 2002);
Canadian guidelines for the protection of aquatic life (CCME, 2007); and
Canadian guidelines for drinking water (FPTCDW, 2008).
December 19, 2011

Project No. 1114280024-001-R-Rev0-1000

It remains the responsibility of the user to verify that Sheet 46 uses the most up-to-date water quality
criteria for their mine development.
Sheet 47 presents the estimated water quality at select compliance points in the receiving environment based on
the loadings associated with the mine effluent discharge, and the estimated loadings associated with the
receiving environment upstream from the compliance point. The user is required to input the water quality
criteria for each parameter of concern in the orange shaded cells based on the references provided in Sheet 47.
The computed concentration of a parameter will be highlighted with a purple shade if and where it exceeds the
selected water quality criteria.
5.3
Mines Operating with Heap Leach Facilities
5.3.1
Operating Data & Flows Associated with Processing the Ore
Sheets 11 to 17 present the operating data and flows associated with processing of the ore. The planned
production schedule over the mine life is entered in Sheet 11 (production schedule details). The production
schedule may vary throughout the mine life depending on the mine operation. The schedule is meant to provide
a mine life overview; however, the water balance model only considers one year at a time, and as a result the
user must enter the production year to model in the production schedule summary table.
The mine year is defined in the Excel spreadsheet to match a hydrologic year, typically from October 1 to
September 30 depending upon the local hydrologic conditions. While the spreadsheet is suited to model a
period of one year in the life of the mine, using hydrologic years remains recommended if the spreadsheet is
expanded to dynamically simulate the entire life of the mine in order to properly represent important natural
processes such as the growth and depletion of the snowpack. If necessary, the operating data would be set to
zero for the portion of the first hydrologic year when the mine is not yet active.
Operating data on the heaps ore, flows impacting the process plants, and other flows impacting the model are
entered in Sheet 12.
Operating data affecting the heaps solutions collection/application system are entered on sheet 14. The data
includes irrigation rates and volumes of ore that will undergo water losses due to saturation, processes, and
drain down from saturation to residual ore moisture content. The sheet is designed to provide maximum flexibility
in accommodating both permanent and on-off heap leach systems.
No input of information is required in Sheets 13, 15 and 16. Instead, these sheets use the information entered in
Sheet 12 to estimate the process make-up freshwater requirements and losses at the process plant, and to
compute the operating data and flows associated with processing the ore. Specifically:
Sheet 13 presents an estimation of the freshwater make-up required at the mill/process plant, as well as the
water lost to evaporation and spillage at the mill;
Sheet 15 calculates the operating data and flows associated with processing the ore using the calculations
and formulas detailed within this sheet; and
Sheet 16 presents the summary of the mill/process plant water balance and flows associated with
processing the ore. The monthly flows presented in this sheet are used in subsequent model sheets for
water and mass balance calculations.

5.3.2
Sheets 17 to 26 present the flows associated with runoff from precipitation. In Sheet 17, the user must input
information on the watershed and sub-watershed areas for the mine site. These areas may change as the mine
develops, and as such, Sheet 17 should be updated to reflect the planned catchment areas for the mine year
being modelled. The information from Sheet 17 is used in subsequent model sheets to calculate runoff flows.
Sheets 18 to 26 present the flows, per sub-watershed, associated with runoff from precipitation for the flow
components presented in the flow logic diagram (Sheet 8). No user input is necessary as these sheets perform
calculations based on the input catchment areas from Sheet 17 and the precipitation inputs from Sheet 10.
5.3.3
Evaporation, Seepage and Miscellaneous Flows
Sheets 27 to 30 present the evaporation losses, the seepage flows and other flows. Sheet 27 calculates
evaporation losses based on the input lake evaporation from Sheet 10 and the pond areas for each
sub-watershed, as defined in Sheet 17. No input of information is required in Sheet 27.
Sheet 28 calculates seepage flows based on user input daily estimates, and the monthly seepage flows to and
from each modelled pond is calculated. It is important to note that seepage flows reporting to the environment,
under the definition of the MMER, are considered as final effluent discharges. As such seepage flows may
require monitoring for flow rate and quality before being released to the environment.
Sheet 29 calculates other flows such as water for dust control, potable water and treated sewage, based on
information from Sheet 12 and user inputs. The monthly distribution of the annual dust control water volume is
required to be input on Sheet 29.
Sheet 30 calculates monthly distribution of the water volume and water losses from the heaps
collection/application system based on the information from Sheet 12 and Sheet 14. No input of information is
required in Sheets 30.
5.3.4
Water Balance Modelled Flows
Sheets 31 to 42 present the modelled flows per sub-watershed. A summary of the monthly flows for each flow
component of the sub-watershed presented in the flow logic diagram (Sheet 8) is presented on Sheets 31-40.
Sheet 41 presents a summary of each modelled flows/losses on a monthly basis. Sheet 42 presents a summary
of the key inputs that were used in the water balance model. No user input is required in Sheets 31 to 42.
5.3.5
Mass Balance Effluent and Receiving Water Quality
Sheets 43 to 53 present the mass balance module. In Sheets 43 and 44, the user inputs the constituent
concentrations associated with runoff, precipitation, discharge and seepage for each flow component presented
in the flow logic diagram (Sheet 8).
December 19, 2011

Project No. 1114280024-001-R-Rev0-1000

Sheet 43 requires input of concentrations associated with mine flows, while Sheet 44 requires input for the
receiving environment, upstream of each compliance point. The constituent concentration values entered in
these sheets are used in Sheets 45 to 53 for mass loading calculations based on the flows computed in previous
sheets.
Sheet 54 calculates the modelled water quality at the identified mine effluent discharge points. The water
quality, expressed as a concentration, is based on the discharge load and associated flow rate calculated in
previous sheets.
Sheet 55 presents the water quality criteria for the following:
Metal Mining Effluents Regulations (EC, 2002);
Canadian guidelines for the protection of aquatic life (CCME, 2007); and
Canadian guidelines for drinking water (FPTCDW, 2008).
It remains the responsibility of the user to verify that Sheet 55 uses the most up-to-date water quality
criteria for their mine development.
Sheet 56 presents the estimated water quality at select compliance points in the receiving environment based on
the loadings associated with the mine effluent discharge, and the estimated loadings associated with the
receiving environment upstream from the compliance point. The user is required to input the water quality
criteria for each parameter of concern in the orange shaded cells based on the references provided in Sheet 47.
The computed concentration of a parameter will be highlighted with a purple shade if and where it exceeds the

GENERAL PURPOSE SIMULATORS FOR WATER AND MASS

BALANCE MODELS
The spreadsheet-based deterministic model template presented in Section 5 may be limited in its flexibility to
model the water and mass balance of a given mine development. Increased length of the simulation period and
greater complexity of the water management infrastructure and operations may eventually lead to a spreadsheet
-based model that becomes too onerous or cumbersome to operate effectively.
This section introduces select general purpose simulators that may be used as an alternative to
spreadsheet-based deterministic water and mass balance models. Comparatively, these simulators tend to
provide a more convivial user interface for model development and use more complex conditional operators
(e.g., if, or, and statements; probability distributions; etc.). Therefore, they are typically used to simulate and
assess the performance of more elaborate water management systems.
6.1
Conceptualization of the Model Components
The water balance flow diagram with its flow components described in Section 5.2 is an essential component in
the development of a water and mass balance model regardless of the modelling platform used. The
development of such a flow diagram and associated description of flow components should be undertaken prior
to using any general purpose simulator. This diagram will help identify the simulation building blocks needed to
represent the water management infrastructure and operations of the mine.
6.2
Examples of Simulators
This section provides a summary of select commercially available simulators. Their description in this guidance
document does not constitute an endorsement of these tools. Instead, the descriptions are intended to illustrate
the typical capabilities that would be expected of any simulator.
6.2.1
GoldSim
GoldSim is a general-purpose simulator that provides the features and flexibility to simulate the performance of
all types of engineered systems. In particular, it is frequently used in the mining industry to substantiate water
management alternatives, design key infrastructure components, assess the uncertainty underlying water
management scenarios, perform sensitivity analyses, and to conduct mass balance water quality simulations.
Figure 11 presents an example GoldSim user interface screenshot from a typical GoldSim water balance model.
The advantages of GoldSim over simple spreadsheet-based deterministic models include the following:
GoldSim models can be developed to provide more graphical and intuitive representation of the water
management processes and components;
The ability to explicitly represent uncertainties in the water management systems;
The capability to undertake both deterministic and probabilistic simulations with the same base model;

The ability to incorporate water quality along with water quantity within the same model;
The ability to vary the simulation period within the same base model;
The flexibility in modelling varying time-dependent conditions (e.g., mill throughput; process water sources;
sump operations) throughout the mine life in the same base model; and
The ability to interact with various external file formats (e.g., Excel, Access, etc.).

6.2.2
MATLAB Simulink
MATLAB is an object-oriented programming environment for scientific computing that 1) is typically used for
modelling engineering systems; and 2) can perform computationally intensive simulations that require an
extensive use of arrays, matrices and graphical analysis of data. Simulink is a general purpose simulator built to
use MATLABs extensive libraries of functions. Simulink provides an interactive graphical user interface
environment to model, simulate, and analyse dynamic systems, and test a variety of time-varying systems.
Since Simulink is an integral part of MATLAB, it is easy to switch back and forth during the analysis process;
thereby permitting the user to take advantage of features offered in both environments. Models in the Simulink
environment are hierarchical. This provides the capacity to manage complex designs by segmenting models
and using top-down approaches. Figure 12 presents an example MATLAB Simulink user interface screenshot
for a systems model.

Stella
Stella is an intuitive icon-based graphical interface designed to simplify model building. The Stella modelling
environment is designed to facilitate the mapping, modelling, simulation and communication of dynamic
processes. Figure 13 presents an example Stella user interface screenshot, while the following summarizes
select advantages of the Stella modelling environment in comparison to simple spreadsheet-based deterministic
models:
Ability to simulate a system over time;
Model equations are automatically generated and easily accessible by the modeller;
Provides the capacity to perform sensitivity analyses;
Allows for models to run partially in order to focus the analysis on specific sectors, modules or model time
frames;
Clearly communicates system inputs and outputs and demonstrates outcomes; and
Provides dynamic data import/export links to MS Excel.

SPECIALISED WATER-RELATED MODELS
Predicting mine effluent flows and associated water quality in the receiving environment may require the use of
specialised loading and receiving water models widely acknowledged by practitioners and tested by experts.
Loading and receiving water models simulate the movement and transformation of pollutants through lakes,
streams, rivers, estuaries, or near shore ocean areas (EPA, 1997). These models may also be required for
components of the water management infrastructure (i.e., large and deep tailings ponds and pit lakes) that may
not easily be modelled in spreadsheet-based models or general purpose simulators.
This section presents a summary of select loading and receiving water models; however, the summary is not
intended as an exhaustive list of available models. Further, the selection of the models presented in this
document does not constitute an endorsement, but only a statement of their capability. The information
presented below is based on the Compendium of Tools for Watershed Assessment and TMDL Development
(EPA, 1997) and the WERF report on Water Quality Models (WERF, 2001).
Further details on available loading and receiving models, ecological assessment techniques and models, model
selection criteria, and a model selection tool are provided in the above mentioned references.
7.1
Hydrologic and Water Quality Models
Hydrologic and water quality models are used to determine the quantity of pollutant loading delivered from a
watershed land surface to a receiving water body (WERF, 2001). These models are also used to evaluate
changes in pollutant quantity and quality that result from changes in land use. They also simulate the chemical
and biological processes that occur within a water body system, based on external inputs and reactions.
The EPA (1997) compendium groups hydrologic and water quality models by how they address changes over
time. Some models use steady-state formulations and others use dynamic (time-varying) formulations.
Dynamic models allow for the detailed evaluation of time-varying inputs, such as non-point sources, and the
examination of short- and long-term receiving water responses. However, they require a significant level of effort
in order to prepare data input files; set up, calibrate, and validate the model; and process the output data.
The following provides a brief summary of typical steady-state and dynamic water quality models.
GWLF
The Generalized Watershed Loading Functions (GWLF) model, developed at Cornell University, is typically used
to evaluate the effect of various land management practices and land surface characteristics on downstream
point and non-point loadings of sediment and nutrients. The model has comparatively low input requirements,
and model results can be used to identify and rank pollution sources, and evaluate watershed management
program alternatives and the impact of land uses (EPA, 1997). A significant limitation of GWLF is that it does
not account for loadings of toxics and metals.

Project No. 1114280024-001-R-Rev0-1000

HSPF
Hydrological Simulation Program FORTRAN (HSPF) is a comprehensive modelling system for the simulation
of watershed hydrology and water quality for point and nonpoint loadings, and is applicable to conventional and
toxic organic pollutants. The model is frequently used in Total Maximum Daily Load (TDML) studies, and is
available for free from the EPA website. The model uses time histories for precipitation, temperature, solar
radiation, land surface characteristics and land management practices to simulate the processes that occur in a
watershed. Water quality and quantity results are expressed as time histories and model predictions include
flow rates, temperature, sediment loads, toxic pollutants, nutrients, and other constituent concentrations in the
water column. A pre-processing database management and expert system for HSPF has been developed to
support and process large amounts of simulation input and output.
7.2
Hydrodynamic Models
Hydrodynamic models are typically used to simulate circulation, transport, stratification and depositional
processes within receiving water bodies such as reservoirs and controlled river systems. They provide the
capacity to simulate flow controls from hydraulic structures and water movement in water bodies such as
streams, lakes, tailings ponds, and pit lakes based on bathymetry and shoreline geometry. Model computation
may also include physical processes such as tidal and wind effects, buoyancy forcing, turbulent momentum, and
mass transport (EPA, 1997). Some hydrodynamic models can be externally coupled with water quality models,
while others are internally coupled to water quality and toxic simulation programs.
The following provides a brief summary of three such models.
EFDC
Environmental Fluid Dynamics Computer Code (EFDC) is a general purpose three-dimensional hydrodynamic
numerical model. The EFDC model is typically used with the Water Quality Analysis Simulation Program
(WASP; presented below). It can be applied to a wide range of boundary layer type environmental flows that
can be regarded as vertically hydrostatic. The model has the capacity to simulate the following:
Density and geometry induced circulation;
Tidal and wind driven flows;
Spatial and temporal distributions of salinity, temperature and sediment concentration;
The wetting and drying of shallow areas;
Hydraulic control structures; and
Vegetation resistance for wetlands.

Project No. 1114280024-001-R-Rev0-1000
45

WASP
The Water Quality Analysis Simulation Program (WASP) is a general-purpose modelling system that provides
capacity to assess the fate and transport of conventional and toxic pollutants in surface water bodies. The
modular nature of the program allows for user-written routines to be incorporated into the model structure.
WASP can be applied to 1D, 2D and 3D problems and is designed for linkage with other hydrodynamic models,
such as EFDC (presented above). The model includes modules for water quality/eutrophication and toxics
characterization. Users are required to input information on geometry, advection and dispersive flows, settling
and resuspension rates, boundary conditions, external loadings (point and nonpoint source), and initial
conditions. The WASP modelling system has been used in a wide range of regulatory and water quality
management applications for rivers, lakes, and estuaries (EPA, 1997).
CE-QUAL-W2
CE-QUAL-W2 is a two-dimensional, laterally averaged, hydrodynamic and water quality model that is best
applied to stratified water bodies like reservoirs and narrow estuaries, where large variations in lateral velocities
and constituents do not occur. The water quality and hydrodynamic routines are directly coupled; however, the
water quality routines may be updated less frequently than the hydrodynamic time step, which can reduce the
computation burden for complex systems. The model simulates the interaction of physical factors such as flow
and temperature regimes, chemical factors such as nutrients, and algal interactions. The constituents are
arranged in four levels of complexity, permitting flexibility in the model application. The first level includes
materials that are conservative and non-interactive, or do not affect other materials in the first level. The second
level allows the user to simulate the interactive dynamics of oxygen-phytoplankton-nutrients, while the third level
allows simulation of pH and carbonate species, and the fourth level allows simulation of total iron. The model
has been widely applied to rivers, lakes reservoirs, and estuaries.
7.3
Effluent Mixing Models
Effluent mixing models assess contaminant mixing in the vicinity of a point-source effluent discharge. They can
be used to model near field mixing characteristics of mine effluent released to a watercourse or water body
through a surface outfall or a diffuser. The following provides a brief summary of two typical and commonly used
effluent mixing models.
CORMIX
The Cornell Mixing Zone Expert System (CORMIX) is a US EPA supported mixing zone model and decision
support system for the environmental impact assessment of regulatory mixing zones resulting from continuous
point source discharges. CORMIX emphasizes the role of boundary interaction to predict steady-state mixing
behaviour. The model can be used to evaluate discharge compliance with regulatory constraints, and can
account for non-conservative pollutants with first-order decay and wind effects on plume mixing. CORMIX also
allows for the analysis of submerged single-point discharges, submerged multiport diffuser discharges, and
buoyant surface discharges.

VP
VISUAL PLUMES (VP) simulates single and multiple submerged aquatic plumes in arbitrarily stratified ambient
flow. It can be used for modelling discharges in marine and fresh water, with multiple outfall types and
configurations, and with buoyant and dense plumes. VP features conservative tidal background-pollutant
build-up and sensitivity analysis capabilities. The model interface and manager allow preparation of common
inputs for running two initial dilution (near-field) plume models. Two far-field algorithms are then automatically
initiated beyond the zone of initial dilution. The near-field models are relatively sophisticated mathematical
models for analyzing and predicting the initial dilution behaviour of aquatic plumes, while the far-field algorithms
are relatively simple implementations of far-field dispersion equations.

CONCLUSION
This document provides guidance on the development of integrated water and mass balance models for mine
development in Canada. The document is intended for government, industry and consultants in the mining
sector and addresses various water resource components of the mine planning process to assist mine design
and operations for the protection of the environment. An overview is given on the federal regulations applicable
to environmental assessments related to the implementation of mine developments in the Canada. The
document also provides a brief overview of the life cycle and water management related issues related to mining
projects.
This guidance document provides a general description of inputs and outputs expected in the development of
water and mass balance models for mining projects. Additional modelling considerations such as climate
change, sensitivity and uncertainty analysis are also discussed. Two Excel-based deterministic water and mass
balance models are provided with the guidance document as templates. Instructions in the use of the model
template include a brief summary of the model structure and operations.
The model templates may be limited in their flexibility to model the water and mass balance of a particular mine
development. Greater model complexity may be required to simulate and assess the performance of more
elaborate water management systems and complex mining projects conditions. General purpose simulators
may be used as an alternative to the accompanying Excel-based model template and are also briefly presented
in this guidance document.
It remains the responsibility of the user to verify the validity of the model for their mine developments
and to perform required adjustments to the models structure and equations to satisfy the needs of their
projects. Golder cannot be held responsible of any water balance model and/or model results produced
by other users using the model template provided.
Predicting mine effluents flows and associated water quality in the receiving environment may require the use of
specialised models widely acknowledged by practitioners and tested by experts. These models may also be
required for components of the water management infrastructure (i.e., large and deep tailings ponds and pit
lakes) that may not be easily modelled in spreadsheet-based models or general purpose simulators. Examples
of such specialised models are provided in this guidance document.

CDJ (Canadian Department of Justice). 1992. Canadian Environmental Assessment Act Consolidation. This
Act is a federal statute that requires federal departments to conduct environmental assessments for
prescribed projects and activities before providing federal approval or financial support. The Act defines
the projects to be assessed, describes the assessment process to follow, and outlines the responsibilities
of the federal authorities and project proponents during the assessment process.
CDJ (Canadian Department of Justice). 2010. Fisheries Act Consolidation. Current to January 2010. The
Act is a federal law that deals with three important subjects: 1) management and monitoring of fisheries;
2) conservation and protection of fish and fish habitat; and 3) pollution prevention. The main provisions
intended to conserve and protect fish habitat and prevent pollution of fisheries waters are set out in
Sections 34 to 43 of the act. Subsection 34(1) states that fish habitat means spawning grounds and
nursery, rearing, food supply and migration areas on which fish depend directly or indirectly in order to
carry out their life processes. Section 35, the main provision dealing with habitat protection states that: (1)
no person shall carry out any work or undertaking that results in the harmful alteration, disruption or
destruction (HADD) of fish habitat; and (2) no person shall contravene subsection (1) by causing the
alteration, disruption or destruction of fish habitat by any means or under any conditions authorized by the
Minister or under regulations made by the Governor in Council under this Act. Most projects that affect fish
habitat are evaluated with reference to Section 35 of the act.
CEPA. 1999. Canadian Environmental Protection Act. The goal of the Act is to contribute to sustainable
development (i.e., meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs). The Act 1) makes pollution prevention the cornerstone of national
efforts to reduce toxic substances in the environment; 2) sets out processes to assess the risks to the
environment and human health posed by substances in commerce; 3) imposes timeframes for managing
toxic substances; 4) provides a wide range of tools to manage toxic substances, other pollution and
wastes; 5) ensures the most harmful substances are phased out or not released into the environment in
any measurable quantity; 6) includes provisions to regulate vehicle, engine and equipment emissions;
7) strengthens enforcement of the Act and its regulations; 8) encourages greater citizen input into
decision-making; and 9) allows for more effective cooperation and partnership with other governments and
Aboriginal peoples.

Aquatic Habitat. Compiled and edited by Barry Chilibeck, Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada,
and Geoff Chislett and Gary Nonis, Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks, second printing,
September 1993. This document provides guidelines on erosion and sediment control measures and on
design of water management infrastructure. The purpose of these guidelines is to protect fish populations

EC (Environment Canada). 2002. Metal Mining Effluent Regulations. Annexed to the Fisheries Act, registration
SOR/2002-222, published in the Canada Gazette Part II, Vol. 136, No. 13. The metal mining effluent
regulations (MMER) prescribe authorized concentration limits for deleterious substances in mine effluents
that discharge to waters frequented by fish. The regulated parameters are arsenic, copper, cyanide, lead,
nickel, zinc, total suspended solids (TSS), Radium 226, and pH. The MMER apply to all Canadian metal
mines (except placer mines) that exceeded an effluent flow rate of 50 m3 per day at any time after the
Regulations were registered. Mines are defined as facilities where ore is mined or milled and include
mines under development, new mines, and reopened mines. The MMER apply to effluent from all final
discharge points (FDPs) at a mine site. An FDP is defined in the Regulations as a point beyond which the
mine no longer exercises control over the quality of the effluent. The MMER also outlines requirements
for effluent flow and chemical quality monitoring, and for environmental effect monitoring (EEM) studies.
EC (Environment Canada). 2006. Advice on Assessing Potential Impacts of Future Climate Change on PMF
and PMP in Yukon Territory, Canada. Letter from Paul H. Whitfield, Meteorological Service of Canada,
Environment Canada, to Benoit Godin, Environment Canada, Whitehorse, Yukon, March 8. This study
focuses on how future climate change (temperature and precipitation) might be accounted for in
determining the future probable maximum precipitation and flood (PMP and PMF) at a given location.
Using Coupled Global Climate Models (CGCM) with grid boxes centering on locations of hydrometric
stations in Yukon, maximum increases of temperature compared to the 1961-1990 baseline may vary from
4.4C to 6.8C by the end of this century, and maximum increases of precipitation from 5% to nearly 20%,
depending on the watershed location in the territory. Maximum increases of precipitation and temperature
show a clear spatial pattern in Yukon, with greatest potential increases occurring in the north, and the
least in the south. These findings may have important implications to determining PMP and PMF in the
Yukon.

NOTES:
1
"Mass" and "Weight" are often incorrectly interchanged. Mass (or inertia) is a constant of an object irregardless of where it is in the
universe. It is a measure of the amount of matter that an object contains and it controls the response of an object to an applied
force. Weight is the gravitational force that causes a downward acceleration. This is Newton's second law (F=Ma) where Weight =
mass x g (acceleration due to gravity).
In soil mechanics water content "" is expressed as a percentage of the mass of water to the dry mass of solids. In process
engineering water content "t" is normally expressed as the mass of water over the total mass (solids plus water).
In pumping terminology the symbol for slurry density is "Cw" and solids content by volume is "Cv"
"Unit Weight" is often incorrectly used instead of "density". An older symbol for density (in imperial units) was "" which is now
reserved for unit weight.
The density of water (w) in the metric system is unity, therefore "Gs" of the solid particles and "s" have
the same value.
The mass balance module assumes mass conservation. For non-conservative parameters, the use of thermodynamic equilibrium
software, such as PHREEQC, is recommended.

Sheet 5
Water Management is an essential component of mining as water must be controlled to gain
access to the mine workings and is typically required in ore extraction processes. The quantity
and chemical quality of released mine effluents must also be managed since this source of
water may have an impact on the receiving environment and downstream water users. The
precipitation and process flows have to pass through a disposal facility over the entire life of a
mine. The challenge is to allow this to safely happen over a wide range of climatic and
operating conditions in a facility that is continuously growing and expanding.
Water and mass balance models are decision support tools for mining projects and are
intended to assist operators with mine site water management, and regulators with the
assessment of regulatory compliance. Models are frequently used in the mining industry to
substantiate water management alternatives and key infrastructure components, and to
assess the uncertainty underlying current and future water management scenarios. They allow
assessment of several mine plan options, and evaluate environmental impacts over the mine
life and assess cumulative effects and risks over time.
A simple deterministic water and mass balance model built on linked Excel spreadsheets,
along with sound engineering judgment, may be adequate to provide a basic understanding of
flows and effluent water quality over a given range of operating and climatic conditions. This
deterministic water and mass balance model is meant to summarize the components required
for the calculation of water movements within the mine development area, and be used for the
prediction of mine water chemical quality. The model is based on simplified assumptions and
greater model complexity may be required to assess the performance of more elaborate water
management systems and complex mining projects conditions.
Ultimately, simulation software (e.g. , GoldSim or other) should be used to develop dynamic
flow models and predict long term contaminant loadings and environmental performance over
the entire life of a mine using precedent precipitation data. The water chemistry parameters,
contaminant loadings and rates of contaminant decay can be input into such models.
The use of a spreadsheet-based deterministic model may limit the flexibility to model the water
and mass balance of a mine development. Increased length of the simulation period and
greater complexity of the water management infrastructure and operations will eventually lead
to a spreadsheet -based model that becomes too onerous to operate. General purpose
simulators may be used as replacements to spreadsheet-based deterministic water and mass
balance models. Refer to the Guidance document for more information on limitations of
spreadsheet-based deterministic models and a discussion on general purpose simulators and
more complex loading and receiving water models.

Sheet 6
Model Set-up
APPROACH
As is discussed on the previous sheet, a deterministic water and mass balance model is a predictive tool that is used to
predict flows, mass loadings and/or concentrations, and to develop a water management plan over a wide range of
operating and climatic conditions for a mine site that is continuously growing and expanding over a period of many years.
Care must be taken not to build sophistication into the model that is not warranted. The model should be a living tool that
can evolve as the mine develops. A suitable deterministic water and mass balance model should have the following
characteristics:
Simple to use with easily recognizable input data;

Transparent (easy to understand, scrutinize, and criticize - any flow can be easily checked);
Easy to vary the model input data to represent changes in the mine operations;
Able to carry out sensitivity analyses to determine the significance of various flows; and,
Capable of being used by designers, operating personnel and regulators during the design and operating life of
the mine
NOTES
The model is essentially a collection of the data that is required to develop the water management plan for a
potential mine site.
This flow model template is developed using linked Excel spreadsheets. Input data are only required in the
orange shaded cells. The calculations are automatically carried out and linked to the relevant cells on other
sheets.
Sheet 7 decsribed the flows and assumptions used in the model. The user should update this sheet to reflect
any changes made to the model.
Sheets 8 and 9 present the water balance flow diagram and its associated list of flow components. The user
must update sheets 8 and 9 to reflect project specific conditions and settings.
Precipitation, runoff and evaporation data are input on Sheet 10. The data on this sheet can be easily
manipulated to model the impact of varying climatic conditions.
The production schedule information is required on Sheet 11 so that flow predictions can be made as the mine
develops. However, this flow model template was developed to only consider 1 mine year at a time.
Some input parameters are required for the calculation of flows associated with the processing of the ore.
These are listed on Sheet 12 entitled "Operating Data". In addition any miscellaneous flows that could impact
water management on site must be provided on this sheet.
The basic tailings and waste rock properties should be understood. Sheet 12 in the model template is where
the basic properties can be summarized.
If the fresh make-up water that is required in the mill, and the losses in the mill to evaporation and spillage are
not provided, they can be simply estimated by assuming them as a percentage of the total flow through the mill
and then calculating the volume of water per ton of ore milled on Sheet 13 entitled "Estimation of Fresh Process
Make-up Water Required in the Mill & Losses to Evaporation and Spillage in the Mill".
The calculated (derived) data and monthly flows associated with the processing of the ore are automatically
calculated on the Sheet 14 entitled "Calculated Operating Data & Flows Associated with Processing the Ore".
The user must input information on the watershed and sub-watershed areas for the mine site in Sheet 16. This
information is used in subsequent model sheets to calculate runoff flows.
Sheet 46 presents reference water quality criteria from the Metal Mining Effluents Regulations (EC, 2002),
Canadian guidelines for the protection of aquatic life (CCME, 2007), and Canadian guidelines for drinking water
(FPTCDW, 2008).
The remaining sheets are the actual water and mass balance model computations and results including Sheets
17 to 23 "Flows Associated with Runoff from Precipitation", Sheet 24 "Evaporation Losses", Sheet 25 "Seepage
Flows", Sheet 26 "Miscellaneous Flows", Sheets 27 to 33 "Accumulated Flows", Sheet 34 "Summary of Flows",
Sheet 35 "Summary of Key Input Data Used in this Model Run", and Sheets 38 to 44 "Computed Loads".
Sheets 45 and 47 present the estimated effluent concentrations and water quality at the compliance points,
respectively.

Model year:
Each sub-watershed pond is equipped with pumps or a discharge structure that can
evacuate, on a monthly basis, all of the monthly inflows (i.e., there is no net accumulation
in the ponds on a monthly basis).
The collection ponds are all operated empty so that storm events or the total spring runoff
can be safely collected, monitored and treated, if required, before being discharged to the
environment.
It is assumed that the site is located in the northern hemisphere with a cold winter climate
that has no runoff in the months from December to March (i.e. , the monthly runoff is
accumulated for release during the following freshet), 50% of computed monthly runoff is
released in November and April (i.e. , the remainder is accumulated for release during the
following freshet), and 100% is released in all the other months (this assumption needs to
be updated by the user, based on site conditions).
The collection ponds are operated empty so that storm events or the total spring runoff
can be safely collected, monitored and treated, if required, before being discharged to the
environment.
The model covers an entire year to summarize flows on an annual basis, with the staring
month to be defined by the user (typically the period extend from October to September).
The model must start in a month with 100% of runoff - not a month when freezing results
in partial or zero runoff.
Mine development years should be defined on the same period as the model years (i.e.,
based on a hydrologic year), or a calendar should be developed and inserted in the model
depicting the relationship between the hydologic and mine years.
The mill site and camp are located in the same collecting watershed.
The water that collects in the open pit, the tailings facility and the waste rock dump is
discharged (pumped) to the collection pond in the water treatment plant watershed. This
model does not consider the presence of a water treatment plant (this assumption needs
to be updated by the user).
10
It is assumed that water demands, primarily at the mill, can be met by inflows (the model
will highlight the negative values when the inflows are insufficient).
11
The fresh make-up water comes from an external, off site source
such as groundwater or a surface water body.
12
The potable water comes from an external off site source. Sewage rate is assumed to be
a percentage of the potable water and will be treated separately prior to discharge to the
Mill & Camp site pond.
13
Other make-up water for the mill (other than fresh water) comes from the Tailings pond,
Mine Workings pond and Waste Rock and Overburden pond.
14
This model has three planned discharge points to the environment (see flow diagram on
Sheet 8) and should be updated to best represent the planned mine operations.
15
It is assumed that the seepage from each pond is a loss to the system
and is not recovered. However, if it does have to be collected and
treated, the flows are available to design the collection and
pumping systems.

NOTES:
The runoff factor is the percentage of the precipitation that runs off and ends up in the pond(s). It takes into account evapo-transpiration
and infiltration. From natural ground it might be on the order of 20 to 70 % depending on the degree of ground saturation, the magnitude
of the rainfall and the time of year. It will be greater from prepared surfaces and pit walls. For modelling purposes it can be assumed that
100 % of the precipitation that falls on the pond and wet tailings beach ends up in the pond. The runoff from a dry tailings beach is
considerably less depending on the degree of saturation of the tailings. Flow measurements are seldom available to correlate with
precipitation to establish runoff factors at a new mine site.
For years that are wetter and dryer than the mean year, it may be necessary to assume that the monthly distribution of precipitation is the
same as the distribution in the mean year due to a lack of data.
A flow model must be able to account for winter snow accumulation by entering a runoff distribution as a percentage of the total
accumulated to date. For example if there is no runoff in January, February and March and 100% runoff in April then the total winter's
accumulation for the three months will enter the inflow side of the water balance in April. For the flow model to function properly the
precipitation and evaporation data entered on the table has to start and end in months that 100% of the factored runoff is
discharged.
"Pan evaporation" is a measured value. The evaporation that actually occurs from a water surface is called the "lake evaporation". Lake
evaporation is typically about 70 % of the measured pan evaporation but this could vary depending on the climatic conditions and the time
of year. Evaporation can also be calculated based on climatic conditions.
If calculated lake evaporation is used, then the factor entered in the pan evaporation to lake evaporation column is zero for each month.

Values of precipitation and evaporation in this table are provided by the user for safekeeping (i.e., they have no effect in the model). The
user must select the desired precipitation and evaporation values, and input them into Cells D12 and D30, in order for these values to take
effect in the model.

The production schedule will vary depending on the mining operation. The above schedule is presented to provide a mine life
overview. The water balance model, however, will consider one year at a time only. The modelled year is selected in the
production schedule summary.
The above Production Schedule Details table should be expanded to reflect the full mine life, as needed. The user should verify
that links from the Production Schedule Summary table are also updated to reference the expanded Production Schedule
Details table.
Mine years need to match the hydrologic year selected as calculations for slurry water are based on the mine year. A typical
hydrologic year is from October to September.
Required information should be entered in the orange shaded cells

Operating Data
Example
Nominal and design values: Nominal values are based on the planned annual mill throughput averaged over 365 days per year. The nominal
values are used to size the tailings facility and for the flow (water balance) modelling. The design values are larger and take into account the
availability of the mill (% of the year that the mill is available to operate) plus an appropriate factor of safety. The design values are used to size and
design the process facilities, pipelines and pumping systems. A word of caution - sometimes process designers define nominal and design values
differently.

The fresh water requirements and losses to evaporation and spillage are normally provided by the process designer. If not
they can be estimated as cubic metres of water per metric ton of ore milled (m3/t) using the following simple procedures. They
are normally relatively small flows.
- The tailings typically goes through a mill at a slurry density (S) of say 30 to 40 % solids by mass. The total process water per metric
ton of dry tailings produced from ore processing is therefore (1/S - 1).
- The fresh make-up water in the mill is typically 3 to 10 % of total water going through the mill.
- The water lost to evaporation and spillage in the mill can be assumed to be 0.5 to 2.0 % of the total water going through the mill.

Input of data is not required on this sheet. The information is automatically transferred from other sheets or is calculated on this sheet.
The blue shaded cells are the calculated monthly runoff flows that are summarized on Sheet 34 "Summary of Flows".
The table must start in a month with 100 % runoff - not a month when freezing results in partial or zero runoff.

Input data are not required on this sheet. The information is automatically transferred from other sheets or is calculated on this sheet.

The total flow D1 is assumed to be positive or null. As a result, the calculations force negative values to zero. During the QA/QC process, the user must confirm the
validity of this assumption.

5
The user should be aware that make-up flows satisfied from the collection pond (flow P9) are not actual flows but represent make-up demand. The user must verify in
Sheet 31 that make-up demands are satisfied (no cells should be shaded pink). The user must find alternative make-up source if flow P9 is not sufficient.

Input of data is not required on this sheet, The information is automatically transferred from the other sheets.
The user should be aware that make-up flows satisfied from the collection pond (flow P9) are not actual flows but represent make-up demand. The user must verify in Sheet 31 that make-up
demands are satisfied (no cells should be shaded pink). The user must find alternative make-up source if flow P9 is not sufficient.

Notes:
CadmiumChromium
Cells with -9999 indicate an error in the values used for the calculation of concentrations. Typically, the error is caused by a division by 0, indicating a flow value of 0. This
error can be fixed by assigning a 0 mg/L concentration to the parameter. The user should be cautious when replacing existing formulas with hardcoding values as these
"fixes" have a tendency of being forgotten and carried forward.

Notes:
Strontium Vanadium
Zinc
Cells with -9999 indicate an error in the values used for the calculation of concentrations. Typically, the error is caused by a division by 0, indicating a flow value of 0. This error
can be fixed by assigning a 0 mg/L concentration to the parameter. The user should be cautious when replacing existing formulas with hardcoding values as these "fixes" have a
tendency of being forgotten and carried forward.

Guideline values apply to the total element or substance in an unfiltered sample, unless otherwise specified (CCME, 2006)
pH dependant parameter
Hardness dependant parameter
Valence dependant parameter
Guidelines are expressed in mg nitrate/L. This value is equivalent to 2.9 mg nitrate-nitrogen/L for freshwater aquatic life
Guidelines are expressed in mg/ nitrite nitrogen/L. This value is equivalent to 0.197 mg nitrite/L
Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality (Health Canada, 2008)
This is an operational guidance value, designed to apply only to drinking water treatment plants using aluminum-based coagulants. The operational guidance values of 0.1 mg/L applies to conventional treatment plants and 0.2 mg/L applies to other types of treatment systems
Guidelines are expressed as mg/L and are equivalent to 10 mg/L as nitrate-nitrogen. Where nitrate and nitrite are determined separately, levels of nitrite should not exceed 3.2 mg/L

Notes:
The user is required to input in the orange shaded cells the water quality criteria for each parameter of concern based on the references provided in Sheet 46
can be fixed by assigning a 0 mg/L concentration to the parameter. The user should be cautious when replacing existing formulas with hardcoding values as these "fixes" have
a tendency of being forgotten and carried forward.
Purple shaded cells indicate that the water quality at the compliance point is above the Selected Criteria

NOTES:

"Mass" and "Weight" are often incorrectly interchanged. Mass (or inertia) is a constant of an object iregardless of where it is in the
universe. It is a measure of the amount of matter that an object contains and it controls the response of an object to an applied
force. Weight is the gravitational force that causes a downward acceleration. This is Newton's second law (F=Ma) where Weight =
mass x g (acceleration due to gravity).
In soil mechanics water content "" is expressed as a percentage of the mass of water to the dry mass of solids. In process
engineering water content "t" is normally expressed as the mass of water over the total mass (solids plus water).
In pumping terminology the symbol for slurry density is "Cw" and solids content by volume is "Cv"
"Unit Weight" is often incorrectly used instead of "density". An older symbol for density (in imperial units) was "" which is now
reserved for unit weight.
The density of water (w) in the metric system is unity, therefore "Gs" of the solid particles and "s" have
the same value.
The mass balance module assumes mass conservation. For non-conservative parameters, the use of thermodynamic equilibrium
software, such as PHREEQC, is recommended.

Sheet 5
Water Management is an essential component of mining as water must be controlled to gain
access to the mine workings and is typically required in ore extraction processes. The quantity
and chemical quality of released mine effluents must also be managed since this source of
water may have an impact on the receiving environment and downstream water users. The
precipitation and process flows have to pass through a disposal facility over the entire life of a
mine. The challenge is to allow this to safely happen over a wide range of climatic and
operating conditions in a facility that is continuously growing and expanding.
Water and mass balance models are decision support tools for mining projects and are
intended to assist operators with mine site water management, and regulators with the
assessment of regulatory compliance. Models are frequently used in the mining industry to
substantiate water management alternatives and key infrastructure components, and to
assess the uncertainty underlying current and future water management scenarios. They allow
assessment of several mine plan options, and evaluate environmental impacts over the mine
life and assess cumulative effects and risks over time.
A simple deterministic water and mass balance model built on linked Excel spreadsheets,
along with sound engineering judgment, may be adequate to provide a basic understanding of
flows and effluent water quality over a given range of operating and climatic conditions. This
deterministic water and mass balance model is meant to summarize the components required
for the calculation of water movements within the mine development area, and be used for the
prediction of mine water chemical quality. The model is based on simplified assumptions and
greater model complexity may be required to assess the performance of more elaborate water
management systems and complex mining projects conditions.
Ultimately, simulation software (e.g. , GoldSim or other) should be used to develop dynamic
flow models and predict long term contaminant loadings and environmental performance over
the entire life of a mine using precedent precipitation data. The water chemistry parameters,
contaminant loadings and rates of contaminant decay can be input into such models.
The use of a spreadsheet-based deterministic model may limit the flexibility to model the water
and mass balance of a mine development. Increased length of the simulation period and
greater complexity of the water management infrastructure and operations will eventually lead
to a spreadsheet -based model that becomes too onerous to operate. General purpose
simulators may be used as replacements to spreadsheet-based deterministic water and mass
balance models. Refer to the Guidance document for more information on limitations of
spreadsheet-based deterministic models and a discussion on general purpose simulators and
more complex loading and receiving water models.

Sheet 6
Model Set-up
APPROACH
As is discussed on the previous sheet, a deterministic water and mass balance model is a predictive tool that is used to
predict flows, mass loadings and/or concentrations, and to develop a water management plan over a wide range of operating
and climatic conditions for a mine site that is continuously growing and expanding over a period of many years. Care must
be taken not to build sophistication into the model that is not warranted. The model should be a living tool that can evolve as
the mine develops. A suitable deterministic water and mass balance model should have the following characteristics:
Simple to use with easily recognizable input data;

Transparent (easy to understand, scrutinize, and criticize - any flow can be easily checked);
Easy to vary the model input data to represent changes in the mine operations;
Able to carry out sensitivity analyses to determine the significance of various flows; and,
Capable of being used by designers, operating personnel and regulators during the design and operating life of
the mine
NOTES
The model is essentially a collection of the data that is required to develop the water management plan for a
potential mine site.
This flow model template is developed using linked Excel spreadsheets. Input data are only required in the
orange shaded cells. The calculations are automatically carried out and linked to the relevant cells on other
sheets.
Sheet 7 described the flows and assumptions used in the model. The user should update this sheet to reflect
any changes made to the model.
Sheets 8 and 9 present the water balance flow diagram and its associated list of flow components. The user
must update sheets 8 and 9 to reflect project specific conditions and settings.
Precipitation, runoff and evaporation data are input on Sheet 10. The data on this sheet can be easily
manipulated to model the impact of varying climatic conditions.
The production schedule information is required on Sheet 11 so that flow predictions can be made as the mine
develops. However, this flow model template was developed to only consider 1 mine year at a time.
Some input parameters are required for the calculation of flows associated with the processing of the ore.
These are listed on Sheet 12 entitled "Operating Data". In addition any miscellaneous flows that could impact
water management on site must be provided on this sheet.
The basic waste rock properties should be understood. Sheet 12 in the model template is where the basic
properties can be summarized.
If the fresh make-up water that is required in the Process Plant and the losses in the Process Plant to
evaporation and spillage are not provided, they can be simply estimated by assuming them as a percentage of
the total flow through the Process Plant and then calculating the volume of water per ton of ore Process Planted
on Sheet 13 entitled "Estimation of Fresh Process Make-up Water Required in the Process Plant & Losses to
Evaporation and Spillage in the Process Plant".
The calculated (derived) data and monthly flows associated with the processing of the ore are automatically
calculated on the Sheet 16 entitled "Calculated Operating Data & Flows Associated with Processing the Ore".
The user must input information on the watershed and sub-watershed areas for the mine site in Sheet 17. This
information is used in subsequent model sheets to calculate runoff flows.
Sheet 55 presents reference water quality criteria from the Metal Mining Effluents Regulations (EC, 2002),
Canadian guidelines for the protection of aquatic life (CCME, 2007), and Canadian guidelines for drinking water
(FPTCDW, 2008).
The remaining sheets are the actual water and mass balance model computations and results including Sheets
18 to 27 "Flows Associated with Runoff from Precipitation", Sheet 28 "Evaporation Losses", Sheet 29 "Seepage
Flows", Sheet 30 "Miscellaneous Flows",Sheet 30 "Irrigation Flows", Sheets 31 to 40 "Accumulated Flows",
Sheet 41 "Summary of Flows", Sheet 42 "Summary of Key Input Data Used in this Model Run", and Sheets 43
to 53"Computed Loads". Sheets 54 and 56 present the estimated effluent concentrations and water quality at
the compliance points, respectively.

Model year:
Each sub-watershed pond is equipped with pumps or a discharge structure that can
evacuate, on a monthly basis, all of the monthly inflows (i.e., there is no net
accumulation in the ponds on a monthly basis).
The collection ponds are all operated empty so that storm events or the total spring
runoff can be safely collected, monitored and treated, if required, before being
discharged to the environment.
It is assumed that the site is located in the northern hemisphere with a cold winter
climate that has no runoff in the months of December, January, and February (i.e. , the
monthly runoff is accumulated for release during the following freshet), 50% of computed
monthly runoff is released in November and March (i.e. , the remainder is accumulated
for release during the following freshet), and 100% is released in all the other months
(this assumption needs to be updated by the user).
The collection ponds are operated empty so that storm events or the total spring runoff
can be safely collected, monitored and treated, if required, before being discharged to
the environment.
The model covers an entire year to summarize flows on an annual basis, with the
starting month to be defined by the user (typically the period extend from October to
September).
The model must start in a month with 100% of runoff - not a month when freezing results
in partial or zero runoff.
Mine development years should be defined on the same period as the model years (i.e.,
based on a hydrologic year), or a calendar should be developed and inserted in the
model depicting the relationship between the hydrologic and mine years.
The Process Plant and camp watershed are located in the same collecting watershed.
The water that collects in the open pit, the heap leach facility, spent ore stockpile and
the waste rock dump is discharged (pumped) to the collection pond in the water
treatment plant watershed. This model does not consider the presence of a water
treatment plant (this assumption needs to be updated by the user).
10
It is assumed that water demands, primarily at the Process Plant, can be met by inflows
(the model will highlight the negative values when the inflows are insufficient).
11
The fresh make-up water comes from an external, off site source
such as groundwater or a surface water body.
12
The potable water comes from an external off site source. Sewage rate is assumed to
be a percentage of the potable water and will be treated separately prior to discharge to
the treatment pond.
13
Other make-up water for the Barren Pond (other than fresh water) comes from the Mine
Workings pond, Waste Rock and Overburden pond and Spent Ore Stockpile.
14
This model has three planned discharge points to the environment (see flow diagram on
Sheet 8) and should be updated to best represent the planned mine operations.
15
It is assumed that the seepage from each pond is a loss to the system
and is not recovered. However, if it does have to be collected and
treated, the flows are available to design the collection and
pumping systems.

PMP
PMP - Probable maximum precipitation
NOTES:
The runoff factor is the percentage of the precipitation that runs off and ends up in the pond(s). It takes into account evapo-transpiration and
infiltration. From natural ground it might be on the order of 20 to 70 % depending on the degree of ground saturation, the magnitude of the
rainfall and the time of year. It will be greater from prepared surfaces and pit walls. For modelling purposes it can be assumed that 100 % of
the precipitation that falls on the pond ends up in the pond. Flow measurements are seldom available to correlate with precipitation to
establish runoff factors at a new mine site.
For years that are wetter and dryer than the mean year, it may be necessary to assume that the monthly distribution of precipitation is the
same as the distribution in the mean year due to a lack of data.
A flow model must be able to account for winter snow accumulation by entering a runoff distribution as a percentage of the total accumulated
to date. For example if there is no runoff in January, February and March and 100% runoff in April then the total winter's accumulation for the
three months will enter the inflow side of the water balance in April. For the flow model to function properly the precipitation and
evaporation data entered on the table has to start and end in months that 100% of the factored runoff is discharged.
"Pan evaporation" is a measured value. The evaporation that actually occurs from a water surface is called the "lake evaporation". Lake
evaporation is typically about 70 % of the measured pan evaporation but this could vary depending on the climatic conditions and the time of
year. Evaporation can also be calculated based on climatic conditions.
If calculated lake evaporation is used, then the factor entered in the pan evaporation to lake evaporation column is zero for each month.

The production schedule will vary depending on the mining operation. The above schedule is presented to provide a mine life
overview. The water balance model, however, will consider one year at a time only. The modelled year is selected in the
production schedule summary.
The above Production Schedule Details table should be expanded to reflect the full mine life, as needed. The user should verify
that links from the Production Schedule Summary table are also updated to reference the expanded Production Schedule Details
table.
Mine years need to match the hydrologic year selected as calculations for slurry water are based on the mine year. A typical
hydrologic year is from October to September.
Required information should be entered in the orange shaded cells

Nominal and design values: Nominal values are based on the planned annual Process Plant throughput averaged over 365 days per year.
The nominal values are used to size the heap facility and for the flow (water balance) modelling. The design values are larger and take into
account the availability of the Process Plant (% of the year that the Process Plant is available to operate) plus an appropriate factor of safety.
The design values are used to size and design the process facilities, pipelines and pumping systems. A word of caution - sometimes process
designers define nominal and design values differently.

The fresh water requirements and losses to evaporation and spillage are normally provided by the process designer. If not they
can be estimated as cubic metres of water per metric ton of ore Process Planted (m3/t) using the following simple procedures.
They are normally relatively small flows.
- The fresh make-up water in the Process Plant is typically 3 to 10 % of total water going through the Process Plant.
- The water lost to evaporation and spillage in the Process Plant can be assumed to be 0.5 to 2.0 % of the total water going through
the Process Plant.

Example
Irrigation Rates: Irrigation water consists of leach solution from the barren pond. Flow rates can be input monthly in m3/day. Increases can be made in a month that a cell is started to be irrigated to account for agglomeration and saturation losses if the
irrigation system has capacity for increased flow. Irrigation can also be lowered to account for months when rinse water is being applied to the heap leach facility. Monthly flows are calculated in sheet 30 "Irrigation Flows" and contibute to flow P2.
Rinse Rate: Rinse water is used to at regular intervals to neutralise the spent ore in a on-off heap leach pad or at the end of mine life of a perminent pad heap leach facility. Rinse water is taken from the water treatment plant in order determine the availability
of water. The user may wish to specify it been taken from a specific facility using the flows P10, P12, and P13. Monthly Flows are calculated in sheet 30 "Irrigation Flows" and contibute to flow P16.
Agglomeration: Agglomeration is the water used for agglomerating the finer particles of ore to ensure more uniform percolation of leach solution through the heap. Agglomeration can be done prior to or after placement on the heap pad. The sheet below
allows the input of the volume of ore that will have water losses due to agglomeration. Monthly flows are calculated in sheet 30 "Irrigation Flows" and contibute to flow P4.
Moisture Lost to Saturation of the Ore: Moisture lost to the saturation of ore is comprised of the run of mine ore moisture content, water used for agglomeration, and the remaining mositure required to bring the ore to saturation. This flow is the remaining
water required to bring the ore to stauration. Some of this water will be permanently retained within the heap while some will be drain down to a residual saturation content. Monthly flows are calculated in sheet 30 "Irrigation Flows" and contribute to flow P4.
Draindown: Draindown is the difference between the ores moisture content at saturation and residual ore moisture content after draindown. Draindown volumes will either report to the spent ore stockpile or the heap leach facility depending on the user
choice below. Monthly flows are calculated in sheet 30 "Irrigation Flows" and contibute to flows P14 or P15.

Sheet 15
Calculated Operating Data & Flows
Associated with Processing the Ore
Example
Nominal and design values: Nominal values are based on the planned annual Process Plant throughput averaged over 365 days per year. The nominal values are used to size the Heap Leach
Facility and for the flow (water balance) modelling. The design values are larger and take into account the availability of the Process Plant (% of the year that the Process Plant is available to operate)
plus an appropriate factor of safety. The design values are used to size and design the process facilities, pipelines and pumping systems. A word of caution - sometimes process designers define
nominal and design values differently.

The sub-watersheds are subdivided by percentages which may change as the mine develops.
Prepared ground is defined as paved ground, roads, industrial areas or ground of low permeability.
Data input is required in the orange shaded cells. The calculations are carried out in the other cells and
the relevant data is automatically transferred to other sheets.

Notes:
Seepage estimates are user-input data. Data are input in the orange shaded cells. The calculations are carried out in the
other cells and the relevant data is automatically transferred to other sheets.
The information is automatically transferred from other sheets or is calculated on this sheet, except for seepage estimates.
Seepage released directly to the environment is considered an effluent under MMER and is subject to monitoring
requirements.

The total flow D1 is assumed to be positive or null. As a result, the calculations force negative values to zero. During the QA/QC process, the user must confirm the
validity of this assumption.

The user should be aware that make-up flows satisfied from the collection pond (flow P9 &P16 ) are not actual flows but represent make-up demand. The user must
verify in Sheet 33 that make-up demands are satisfied (no cells should be shaded pink). The user must find alternative make-up source if flow P9, P16 is not sufficient.

Input of data is not required on this sheet, The information is automatically transferred from the other sheets.
The user should be aware that make-up flows satisfied from the collection pond (flow P9 and P16) are not actual flows but represent make-up demand. The user must verify in Sheet 38 that make-up demands are
satisfied (no cells should be shaded pink). The user must find alternative make-up source if flow P9 and P16 is not sufficient.

Cells with -9999 indicate an error in the values used for the calculation of concentrations. Typically, the error is caused by a division by 0, indicating a flow value of 0. This
error can be fixed by assigning a 0 mg/L concentration to the parameter. The user should be cautious when replacing existing formulas with hardcoding values as these
"fixes" have a tendency of being forgotten and carried forward.

All concentrations are for total values (MMER, 2002)

Maximum Monthly Mean Authorized Concentration in a Composite Sample
Maximum Authorized Concentration in a Grab Sample
Guideline values apply to the total element or substance in an unfiltered sample, unless otherwise specified (CCME, 2006)
pH dependant parameter
Hardness dependant parameter
Valence dependant parameter
Guidelines are expressed in mg nitrate/L. This value is equivalent to 2.9 mg nitrate-nitrogen/L for freshwater aquatic life
Guidelines are expressed in mg/ nitrite nitrogen/L. This value is equivalent to 0.197 mg nitrite/L
Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality (Health Canada, 2008)
This is an operational guidance value, designed to apply only to drinking water treatment plants using aluminum-based coagulants. The operational guidance values of 0.1 mg/L applies to conventional treatment plants and 0.2 mg/L applies to other types of treatment systems
Guidelines are expressed as mg/L and are equivalent to 10 mg/L as nitrate-nitrogen. Where nitrate and nitrite are determined separately, levels of nitrite should not exceed 3.2 mg/L

Subject: Advice on Assessing Potential Impacts of Future Climate Change on PMF
and PMP in Yukon Territory, Canada
Dear Benoit,
Some time ago you asked how we might evaluate the impacts of future climate changes
might affect predicted floods. With the help of Jon Wang, we have prepared the following
advice:
Summary:
Probable maximum precipitation (PMP), the greatest depth of precipitation that could
physically occur at the location of interest for a given storm duration, is often used for
calculating the probable maximum flood (PMF). PMP can be estimated based on annual
maximum series combined with a frequency factor. Methods for estimating PMP are
usually estimated based on the present available historical data; however, by definition, any
possible factors that may influence PMP should be taken into account. In this study, we
focus on how future climate change (temperature and precipitation) might be accounted for
in determining future PMP and PMF. Using the Coupled Global Climate Models (CGCM)
with grid boxes centering at locations of hydrometric stations in Yukon, we found that, by
the end of this century, maximum increases of temperature may vary from 4.4C to 6.8C
and maximum increases of precipitation from 5% to nearly 20% depending on the
locations of the watersheds in the territory, compared to the 1961-1990 baseline. Maximum
increases of precipitation and temperature show a clear spatial pattern in Yukon with
greatest increases in the north and smallest in the south. These findings may have
important implications to determining PMP and PMF in Yukon.
1. Introduction
Studies of potential future climate change have suggested that changes in precipitation and
temperature may have significant impacts on hydrologic regimes and changes in
streamflows (Coulson, 1997, Whitfield and Taylor, 1998). Increased rainfall directly
contributes to streamflows whereas increased snowfall increases potential water available
from snowmelt. Impacts of temperature change on hydrologic attributes have received
much attention. Frederick and Gleick (1999) concluded that higher temperature will
accelerate the rate of snowmelt, increase the ratio of rain to snow, and reduce the duration
of snowpack on the ground. By studying of the effect of CO2 and climate change on
snowpack and streamflow, Cooley (1990) stressed that a small change in temperature near
the threshold that delineates rain from snow could have a significant impact on snow
accumulation and snowmelt rate. Comparing increases in precipitation at two watersheds in
the province of British Columbia, Whitfield et al. (2003a) showed that an increase in
temperature and a change in the form of precipitation from snow to rain account for the
majority of the increase and timing of the runoff.
Climate change is also another important factor in the process of estimating the probable
maximum precipitation (PMP) and the probable maximum flood (PMF). Koutsoyiannis
(1999) developed a method for assigning a return period to PMP values estimated based on
the frequency factor method by Hershfield (1961): hm =
+ kmsn, in which hm is the
maximum observed rainfall depth at the site of interest;
and sn the mean and standard
deviation of the annual maximum precipitation series for site m; and km the frequency
factor. Hershfield (1961) recommended km = 15 for estimating the PMP because it was the
largest factor taken from an analysis of 2645 stations. Therefore, future precipitation
change is one of the most important concerns in PMP estimation. However, in
mountainous areas such as the Yukon Territory, a flood may not be exclusively caused by
intensive precipitation but rather by other triggering factors (e.g., snowmelt and ice-jams).
Thus, future temperature change near the threshold delineating rain from snow is of a
significant impact on snow accumulation and snowmelt rate, and consequently it may play
a key role in determining the PMF.
Future climate change is often modelled using Global Climate Models (also known as the
General Circulation Models, abbreviated as GCM). GCMs provide quantitative analysis of
potential climate changes over the entire Earth by modelling the physical climate systems.
They are based on mathematical equations representing physical laws on a threedimensional grid of points over the globe encompassing the atmosphere, ocean, and land
surface. Values of winds, clouds, temperature, precipitation, ocean currents and many other
climate variables are calculated and the averages of these quantities give the three
dimensional climate simulated by the model. The simulation can be done with changing
greenhouse gas concentrations and aerosol loadings in the atmosphere to simulate potential
climate change to the end of the current century to estimate changes under different
scenarios.
Commonly used GCM models include UK Hadley Centres GCM version 2 (HADCM2)
and version 3 (HADCM3), Coupled Global Climate Models (CGCM1 and CGCM2)
developed by Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis in Canada, and many
others. HADCM2 examines climate changes due to enhanced greenhouse effect whereas
HADCM3 represents effects of greenhouse gases, CO2, water vapour, ozone, and aerosols.
Both models were originally developed for predicting changes in precipitation and
temperature for the Mediterranean region (Viner and Hulme, 1997).
The first version CGCM1 used heat and water flux adjustments from coupled ocean and
atmosphere model runs, followed by a procedure in which the flux adjustments are
modified by an integration of the coupled model. A multi-century control simulation with
the coupled model is then performed using the present day CO2 concentration to evaluate
the stability of the coupled model climate and to compare the variability of modelled
climate to its observed counterpart. Details of CGCM1 and discussions of the primary
results can be found in Climate Change Digest (Henry, 2000). The second version CGCM2
is based on CGCM1 with some improvements. Details of CGCM2 can be found in Flato
and Boer (2001). Forcing scenarios in CGCM2 mainly include greenhouse gas (GG),
3
greenhouse gas plus aerosol (GA), and Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (SRES)
with different families (A or B) and focuses (1 or 2). The A families have more
economic concerns than B families which are more environmental, whereas the focus of
1 is more global compared to 2 which is more regional. Full details of SRES are cited
as follows (Nakicenovic et al., 2000):

growth, global population that peaks in mid-century and declines thereafter, and the
rapid introduction of new and more efficient technologies. Major underlying themes
are convergence among regions, capacity-building, and increased cultural and social
interactions, with a substantial reduction in regional differences in per capita income.
The A1 scenario family develops into three groups that describe alternative directions
of technological change in the energy system. The three A1 groups are distinguished by
their technological emphasis: fossil intensive (A1FI), non-fossil energy sources (A1T),
or a balance across all sources (A1B; where balanced is defined as not relying too
heavily on one particular energy source, on the assumption that similar improvement
rates apply to all energy supply and end use technologies).
A2
The A2 storyline and scenario family describes a very heterogeneous world. The
underlying theme is self-reliance and preservation of local identities. Fertility patterns
across regions converge very slowly, which results in continuously increasing
population. Economic development is primarily regionally oriented and per capita
economic growth and technological change more fragmented and slower than other
storylines.
B1
The B1 storyline and scenario family describes a convergent world with the same
global population that peaks in mid-century and declines thereafter, as in the A1
storyline, but with rapid change in economic structures toward a service and
4
information economy, with reductions in material intensity and the introduction of

clean and resource-efficient technologies. The emphasis is on global solutions to
economic, social and environmental sustainability, including improved equity, but
without additional climate initiatives.
B2
The B2 storyline and scenario family describes a world in which the emphasis is on
local solutions to economic, social and environmental sustainability. It is a world with
continuously increasing global population, at a rate lower than A2, intermediate levels
of economic development, and less rapid and more diverse technological change than
in the B1 and A1 storylines. While the scenario is also oriented towards environmental
protection and social equity, it focuses on local and regional levels.
CGCM2 has been widely used to produce ensemble climate change projections using GG
and GA scenarios as well as SRES A2 and B2 scenarios. Results from CGCM2 have been
applied to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Third Assessment
Report and the ongoing Arctic Climate Impact Assessment
(http://www.cccma.bc.ec.gc.ca/models/cgcm2.shtml). Studies have showed that CGCM2
performs better than other models in some areas; for example, Allamano et al. (2005)
showed that CGCM2 produced the smallest bias compared to other four models including
HADCM3 and CGCM1, when analyzing modelled present streamflows in rivers in British
Columbia.
In developing this advice, we adopted CGCM2 with forcing scenarios of GA and SRES A2
and B2 and used locations of hydrometric stations in Yukon as the grid centres for
downloading climate data (temperature and precipitation) to examine the modelled future
climate in 2010-2030, 2040-2060, and 2070-2090. The purposes of the study are to
estimate the future maximum temperature and precipitation changes in this century and to
assess the temporal and spatial changes of temperature and precipitation in the Yukon
Territory. Both the magnitudes and the temporal and spatial trends may have significant
implications to updating the existing PMP and PMF estimates or to re-estimating PMP and
PMF in the future in this territory.

2. Study Area and Method

Yukon is one of Canada's three territories in the North. It is a triangle-shaped territory
characterized by mountainous terrains and glaciers and ice fields, located at north-west of
Canada with an area of 478,970 km. Yukon has Canadas highest peak at 5,959m above
sea level (Mount Logan). It has a range of latitudes from 60oN to about 70oN and
longitudes from 124oW to 141oW, experiencing a large range of annual temperature with
long cold winters and short mild summers.
The grid box centres that are used as inputs to CGCM2 model are based on the locations of
hydrometric stations in Yukon. The stations are managed by Environment Canada and
Indian and Northern Affairs. A total of 68 hydrometric stations were obtained from the
HYDAT published by Environment Canada, 2002. Their latitudes and longitudes were
used for downloading temperature and precipitation data from the CGCM2 model (Figure
1). We defined small (<1000 km2) and large (>1000km2) watersheds in the study based on
the drainage area, because the impact of climate change on determining PMP and PMF
may be more significant to small watersheds than to large ones. For each grid box, mean
temperature change and precipitation change illustrate the distribution of scenario changes
for that grid box on a monthly, seasonal, or annual basis. We used annual basis in the study.
Data of mean annual temperature change and precipitation change with different emission
scenarios in 2010-2030, 2040-2060, and 2070-2090 were obtained from Canadian Institute
for Climate Studies. Three scenarios of climate change were used in the study, which
described a range of possible future climate rather than subjectively using a single bestguess scenario. Three scenarios are (1) more economical and regional development
scenario A2, (2) more environmentally friendly and regional development scenario B2, and
(3) greenhouse gas and aerosol scenario GA. All outputs from the CGCM2 model are with
respect to 1961-1990 global climate model baseline. For each hydrometric station we
determine the model output for that location for 3 time periods and 3 scenarios. This means
that the results from the closest grid point are attributed to that station.
We used three time slices (2010-2030, 2040-2060, and 2070-2090) in the study. This
allows us to examine the pattern of temperature and precipitation changes in Yukon in this
century. From the three selected scenarios, it is possible to identify the one that indicates
the most extreme increases for a given time slice because extreme increases in temperature
and precipitation are useful for updating or re-estimating PMP and PMF.

(>1000km2, squares) watersheds. These stations were used to derive CGCM2 data.
3. Results and discussions

Modelled results from CGCM2 experiments at selected locations in Yukon for 2010-2030,
2040-2060, and 2070-2090 of the century are listed in Appendix I and Appendix II.
Because of lower resolutions that CGCM2 can handle, CGCM2 may generate the same
values of temperature and precipitation for some adjacent hydrometric stations if the
stations are not considerably located apart. This is especially common in southern Yukon
due to the fact that hydrometric stations are unevenly distributed with the majority
concentrated in the south of the territory. The precipitation change versus temperature
change figures (Figures 2, 3, and 4) show extensive overlaps, i.e., one point in the figure
may present climate change for one or more hydrometric stations. The scatter of the same
symbol (from the same scenario) in the figure indicates the variation of the changes of
temperature and precipitation due to different geographic locations. The spread of the three
groups of symbols (from three different scenarios) in the figure shows the discrepancy of
the model outputs that different scenarios may generate. Figures 2, 3, and 4 also show the
increase of the range of temperature and precipitation varies from 2010-2030 to 2040-2060
then to 2070-2090, which may indicate that there are fewer uncertainties from the CGCM
models in the near future and more uncertainties by the end of the century. For example,
the range for precipitation from CGCM2-ga is from 3.48% to 8.55% in 2010-2030; it
becomes from 4.98% to 12.24% in 2040-2060 and then from 5.00% to 19.59% in 20702090. Similar results of the increase of the range for temperature can be seen from Figures
2, 3, and 4 as well.
Results from CGCM2 show that, in 2010-2030, the B2 scenario may cause the biggest
increase for precipitation (10.49%) and the GA scenario may cause the biggest increase for
temperature (2.34C) compared to the 1961-1990 baseline (Figure 2). In 2040-2060, the
A2 scenario has the biggest precipitation increase (13.04%) and the GA scenario has the
biggest temperature increase (4.15C). In 2070-2090, the GA scenario shows the biggest
increases for both precipitation and temperature with the values of 19.59% and 6.77C,
respectively. It was shown that the extreme increase of precipitation could be caused by B2
scenario (2010-2030), or A2 scenario (2040-2060), or GA scenario (2070-2090). However,
8
greenhouse gases and aerosol (GA) are likely the only forcing scenario that causes the
largest temperature increase in all time slices (Figures 2, 3, and 4).
Figure 2 Predicted climate change in 2010-2030 using CGCM2 and the scenarios A2, B2,
and GA. Since many stations are close to each other the modelled changes overlap and
reduce the number of symbols shown.
Jasper et al. (2004) concluded that GA scenario is usually characterized by larger

temperature changes and more substantial precipitation changes than the A2 and B2
scenarios. The smallest temperature and precipitation changes in 2040-2060 and 20702090 are projected by B2 scenario (Figures 3 and 4). This may indicate that increases of
greenhouse gases and aerosol will eventually have significant impacts on climate change in
a long run although the impacts may not be evident in a shorter time period in the future.
This is not surprising because B2 assumes a more environmentally friendly economic
development. Similar conclusions have been made in other studies (e.g. Jasper et al., 2004).
However, it is interesting to note that B2 scenario may produce a wider range of
precipitation changes in the near future in 2010-2030, showing more variability in
precipitation at different locations.
All climate change scenarios showed consistent increases in precipitation and temperature
from 2010-2030 to 2040-2060 then to 2070-2090. Plots of the average of annual
precipitation change (%) versus annual temperature change (C) from the three different
10
scenarios (A2, B2, and GA) are illustrated in Figures 5 for time slices of 2010-2030, 20402060, and 2070-2090. In 2010-2030, increases of temperature may vary from 1.42C to
1.95C with an average of 1.53C, increases of precipitation from 2.66% to 7.69% with an
average of 4.24% compared to the 1961-1990 baseline. Those numbers become from
2.50C to 3.79C with an average of 2.77C for temperature and from 3.77% to 11.89%
with an average of 7.36% for precipitation in 2040-2060. Temperature and precipitation
will further increase to a new level from 4.00C to 5.84C with an average of 4.52C and
from 5.36% to 16.39% with an average of 11.27% in 2070-2090. This steady increasing
trend is in agreement with some previous studies. For example, results from the Third
Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) indicate a
global mean temperature increase ranging from 1.4C to 5.8C and an increase of mean
precipitation by about 2.4% per 1C increase in temperature for the end of the century
(Houghton et al., 2001). However, a recent study showed a reduction in precipitation with
increased temperature for Alaska and assumed these changes to continue from Alaskas
11
interior to northeastern Canada (Goetz et al., 2005). These unexpected results may be
due to other factors.
Similar results were also found in other studies. For example, Whitfield et al. (2003b)
showed a continuing increase in temperature in the future and concluded that, by 20732093, modelled temperature increases are statistically significant with magnitudes on the
order around 5C at watersheds in British Columbia. Whitfield et al. (2003b) also showed
that precipitation increased for the modelled future periods in the century at the same
watersheds but changes in precipitation were less important. In Yukon, this study showed
dramatic and steady increases in both temperature and precipitation in the future three
modelled periods of 2010-2030, 2040-2060, and 2070-2090 (Figure 5).
B2, A2, and GA scenarios produced the biggest increases of precipitation in Yukon for
time slices 2010-2030, 2040-2060, and 2070-2090, respectively. Increases of precipitation
showed a general spatial pattern with the highest increase in the north and less increase in
the south. This spatial pattern applies to all time slices with some variations (Figures 6, 7,
and 8). For example, increases of precipitation in 2010-2030 are less homogeneously
distributed than in 2040-2060 and 2070-2090. Increases of precipitation in 2010-2030
almost remain unchanged in most part (southern Yukon) of the territory and gradually
increase in the north. Increases of precipitation in 2070-2090 show a stable trend increasing
from the south to the north, reaching the highest level (extrapolation using a Spline
function shows a value of over 20%) in the area of latitudes 65oN-67oN and longitudes
137oW-141oW in Yukon (Figure 8).

Figure 5 Temporal trend of climate change in Yukon. Each symbol presents the average
for a hydrometric station over three scenarios A2, B2, and GA.
GA scenario generated the biggest increases of temperature for all selected slices in Yukon.
Temperature changes showed a simple and steady spatial pattern with all big temperature
increases in the north and small temperature increases in the south (Figures 9, 10, and 11).
This spatial trend is very similar to the trend of precipitation change, increasing the
magnitude with the increase of latitude in the territory. This may indicate that the
precipitation change would be closely correlated to temperature change in the future of this
century in the area.

There is no doubt that hydrological responses are strongly linked to climate change. Many
studies have found that climate change could strongly affect water balance and frequency
distribution of floods and low flows (Schulla, 1997, Schaper and Seidel, 2001, Kleinn,
2002). Jasper et al. (2004) concluded that the increase on temperature and precipitation
would lead to significant changes in streamflows and snow resources could be reduced by
74% to 90% (depending on different climate scenarios) in the end of this century compared
with current snow amount based on simulation studies for alpine rivers in Switzerland.
Whitfield et al. (2003b) showed climate change had major regional effects on hydrological
characteristics in various (rainfall-driven, snow-melt driven, and hybrid) rivers in the
province of British Columbia, when using a hydrologic model for assessing relative
changes in the frequency, timing, and magnitude of floods and low flows between the
present and future climate scenarios of the 2020s, 2050s, and 2080s. In particular, they
found that, in snow-melt driven watersheds, the magnitudes of annual peak flows increase
and low flow events occur less often due to an overall increase of streamflows in a warmer
climate. Being driven by the same physical mechanisms, it is understandable that the
increases of temperature and precipitation would have extensive impacts on hydrological
attributes in Yukon although the geographical locations of rivers between Yukon and
British Columbia are different.
Steady increases of temperature and precipitation in the future may have great impact on
streamflows in Yukon because the most common causes of streamflows in this region are
spring snowmelt or a combination of snowmelt and rainfall (Watt et al., 1989). Watt et al.
(1989) summarized that in Yukon the annual snowmelt runoff generally occurs in late May
or June. In the northern area of Yukon (north of Ogilvie Mountains), streamflow regimes
are not greatly different with peak flows in spring due to snowmelt and secondary peak
flows later due to rainfall. In the southern area of Yukon (south of Ogilvie Mountains),
streamflows increase rapidly during the early summer due to snowmelt at lower elevations
and then reach the peak in later summer due to snow and glacial melt at higher elevations.
It is obvious that temperature and precipitation, if not the only forcing factors, would be the
most important dominating causes that govern streamflow regimes and their changes in
Yukon.
17
PMF is a function of numerous factors and its accurate estimation requires finding the
optimum combination of the factors. The most causative factor of PMF is the PMP which
is the theoretically greatest depth of precipitation for a given duration that is physically
possible at a particular geographical location at a certain time of the year (Hansen et al.,
1982). In reality, it is impossible to determine the exact value of the PMP and the estimated
PMP value is heavily influenced by the available data, knowledge, and estimation
technique. Douglas and Barros (2003) summarized that PMP estimation methods may fall
into categories of: the storm model approach, the maximization and transposition of
individual observed storms, generalized (regionalized) methods, theoretical or empirical
methods derived from maximum depth, duration, and area observations, and statistical
methods. By definition, PMP and PMF take into account the most severe combination of
meteorological and hydrological conditions that are physically possible in a region. In
other words, any physically possible affecting factor should be a concern to PMP and PMF.
As mentioned before, PMP can also be estimated based only on annual maximum
precipitation series. The maximum increases of precipitation in Yukon could be concerns
when determining PMP and PMF, although their quantitative computation is out of the
scope of the study.
Attention should also be paid to the maximum increases of temperature in cases where
extreme floods or PMF may be triggered by factors such as extreme snowmelt and ice-jams
in the mountainous areas in the territory. Ice-jam induced floods are often with extremely
large magnitude with discharges being easily two or three times greater than those under
open-water condition, although their durations are usually short (Prowse and Culp, 2003).
An increase of temperature to a level close to the threshold (long-term air temperature at
0C) that melts ice-jams could be of importance to an extreme flood occurrence. Prowse
and Culp (2003) pointed out that the rate of water level rise in the order of 1m/min is not
uncommon at northern rivers in Canada. It is important to note that intensive and longduration rainfall would dramatically accelerate the rate of ice-jam breakup and
consequently produce an extreme flood or PMF. In such a case, combination of rainfall and
temperature should be taken into consideration for a PMF estimate at a given watershed.
18
Due to the facts that (1) extreme factors are concerned with regard to determining PMP and
PMF and (2) results of the study showed that maximum increases of precipitation and
temperature are in 2070-2090, outputs from CGCM2 for 2070-2090 are of importance.
Therefore, contour maps for the time slice 2070-2090 (Figures 8 and 11) should be
considered in terms of PMP and PMF. It is important to note that the modelled values of
temperature and precipitation are site specific with the ranges of maximum increases of
temperature from 4.4C to 6.8C and maximum increases of precipitation from 5% to
19.6% (Figures 8 and 11) compared to the 1961-1990 baseline depending on the locations
of the hydrometric stations and the scenarios. This implies that, at different watersheds,
different values of the maximum increases of precipitation and temperature could be
considered in the PMP and PMF issue. As an example, in a previous report by Wang and
Whitfield (2004), we concluded that a maximum increase of precipitation of 15% and a
maximum increase of temperature of 6.2C at Faro Mine Site area in Yukon be used for reassessing the PMF estimate.
Increase of precipitation to PMP could be considered in different ways. Assume annual

maximum 24-hour precipitation is governed by the Generalized Logistic distribution
(GLOG), the modelled precipitation increase could have impact on each of the location,
scale, and shape parameter of the distribution or any combination of the three parameters.
Taken Yukon River at Whitehorse as an example, the maximum increase of precipitation
of 11% was analyzed in relationship of PMP. Based on precipitation records (1942-2005)
at Whitehorse Airport and synthetic data analysis using GLOG, changes of extreme
precipitation due to different options are compared in Figure 12. Extreme 24-hour
precipitation from the records is 449mm which results in an increase shift of 498mm
caused by the 11% increase (Figure 12). However, it could reach as high as 568mm,
572mm, and 626mm because of 11% variation of the location, scale, and shape parameter
of GLOG, respectively. The reach of right-hand tail in the probability density distribution
(Figure 12) shows the highest extreme precipitation for each of the settings. For a
conservative consideration, the overall largest value (626mm) should be taken into account
in terms of the PMP estimate in this case.
19
Climate change that affects PMP and PMF may also be influenced by Pacific climate
patterns, the short-term El Nio/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and longer-term Pacific
Decadal Oscillation (PDO). It is unknown that whether extreme meteorological and/or
hydrological conditions, such as extreme high precipitation and extreme floods, would be
affected by ENSO or PDO, although Wang et al. (2005) showed that there is no significant
correlation between ENSO/PDO and low-flows in the southern Yukon. It would be
valuable to assess if extreme precipitation and extreme floods are related to Pacific climate
patterns to estimate PMP and PMF.

4. Conclusions
Using CGCM2 with scenarios A2, B2, and GA, precipitation and temperature data in 20102030, 2040-2060, and 2070-2090 were downloaded for assessing future climate change in
20
Yukon, which may have significant impacts on estimates of PMP and PMF. A continuing
and steady temporal increasing trend for both temperature and precipitation was found.
Extreme increases of precipitation will be caused by B2, A2, and GA in 2010-2030, 20402060, and 2070-2090, respectively. Due to the temporal trend, maximum increases of
temperature and precipitation in 2070-2090 are of importance to determining PMP and
PMF.
Quantitative analysis of the relationship between future climate change and PMP and PMF
is out of the scope of the study. However, we found that the maximum temperature would
increase from 4.4C to 6.8C and maximum precipitation from 5% to 20% in the century in
Yukon compared to the 1961-1990 baseline. This may have tremendous impacts on the
estimates of PMP and PMF because temperature and precipitation are two important
factors in determining PMP and PMF. Maximum increase of precipitation can be
interpreted in different ways, for example the increase may have impact on each of the
parameters of location, scale, and shape or a combination of the precipitation distribution
for a given site. A conservative estimate of the influence of maximum precipitation
increase should be used for the PMP calculation. Maximum change of temperature would
be meaningful only when increasing temperature causes extreme snowmelt or ice-jam
flood that could generate the PMF in a watershed.
Maximum increases of temperature and precipitation show a clear spatial pattern with
greatest increases in the north and smallest in the south of Yukon. This may indicate a
correlation between climate change and latitude over the territory. Because of the spatial
distribution of the maximum increases of temperature and precipitation, different values of
the maximum changes could be taken into account in determining PMP and PMF,
depending on the locations of the watersheds.
