Independent Environmental Monitoring Agency


	The Independent Environmental Monitoring Agency (IEMA, or the Agency) is a public watchdog for environmental management of BHP Billiton Canada Inc.'s (BHPB) Ekati™ Diamond Mine, located approximately 310 km northeast of Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories. The Agency was established under the Environmental Agreement negotiated in 1997 by the company and Aboriginal, federal and territorial governments. The Environmental Agreement is a legal instrument to ensure BHPB, the Government of Canada and Government of the Northwest Territories respect and protect land, water, wildlife and the land-based way of life essential to the well-being of Aboriginal Peoples. The Agency consists of seven directors appointed by our Society Members as well as staff based in our office in Yellowknife. We intend for our website to be a valuable tool to help us meet our mandate by providing public access to information about the Ekati Mine. Please contact us if you have any questions or comments.
