Over the past 15+ years, Ensero has completed baseline environmental monitoring programs, executed numerous studies, completed separate environmental and socio-economic assessments under the Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Act, including development of the district wide Reclamation Plan, completed two Type B Water Use Licenses for Care and Maintenance Activities, and completed the district-wide Remediation Plan.
