Summary

Concentrations of major and trace elements as determined by chemical analysis of the less than 2-millimeter size fraction of bed-sediment and floodplain samples in the Tri-State Mining District, 2011-12. All samples were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey. Analysis was conducted by the USGS Central Mineral and Environmental Resources Science Center laboratory in Denver, Colorado using inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry methods described in Taggart (2002) as referenced in the associated report.

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.
