Summary

Sediment core and sample locations and depth of water from the surface and maximum sample depth at each location for Center Creek, Turkey Creek, Shoal Creek, Tar Creek, and Spring River in the Tri-State Mining District, 2011-12. All coordinates are referenced in the Geographic coordinate system, North American Datum 1983. Table Contents: Core_identifier, Site_identifier, Name, Latitude, Longitude, Date, Time, Feature, Depth_w, and Max_depth which are explained further in the referenced data dictionary.

Purpose

The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with U.S. Fish and Wildlife service, collected channel-sediment samples at depth for subsequent analyses that would allow attainment of the following goals: (1) determination of the relation between concentration and depth for lead, zinc and cadmium in channel sediments and flood plain sediments, and (2) determination of the volume of stream-channel sediment from the surface to the maximum depth with concentrations of these metals that exceeded sediment-quality guidelines.
