These data present chemistry and toxicity results from freshwater stream sediments collected from 99 wadable stream sites across eleven states in the Midwestern U.S. as one component of a larger USGS study in the summer of 2013. This data presents a selected suite of chemistry collected at these sites (PAHs, Organochlorines, PCBs, Trace Elements, and current use pesticides) used in calculating a Probable Effect Concentration-Likely Effect Benchmark quotient mixture score for contaminants measured in sediments. The toxicity data presents results of toxicity tests following ASTM and US EPA standard methods for sediment toxicity tests with the amphipod Hyalella azteca (28-d exposure), the midge Chironomus dilutus (10-d),...
The risks to wildlife and humans from uranium (U) mining to the Grand Canyon watershed are largely unknown. In addition to U, other co-occurring ore constituents contribute to risks to biological receptors depending on their toxicological profiles. This data was collected to characterize the pre-mining concentrations of total arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), nickel (Ni), selenium (Se), thallium (Tl), U, and zinc (Zn); radiation levels; and histopathologies in biota (vegetation, invertebrates, amphibians, birds, and mammals) at the Canyon Mine.

The data presented here are from acid digested sediments from 10 cm composites at different depths in trenches of the Aztec Drinking Water Reservoir #1.
The data presented here are from hand held X-ray fluorescence measurements on wet and dry composite samples. The composite samples are from 10 cm sections of sediment trenches in the Aztec Drinking Water Reservoir #1. Samples were analyzed to evaluate chemistry of the reservoir sediments.

Dataset includes the analysis results of 49 inorganic chemical elements bound to suspended-sediment particles below Paonia Reservoir during a sediment release in September 2017. Suspended-sediment samples were collected at U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) station number 385626107212000 by following data collection procedures and protocols in Edwards and Glysson (1999). The samples were freeze-dried after collection and then decomposed using a mixture of nitric, hydrofluoric, and perchloric acids. The dried residue after acid digestion was analyzed by atomic absorption spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry following procedures and protocols in Taggart (2002). Reference samples of flue gas desulfurization...
The data presented here are from hand held X-ray fluorescence measurements from clean faces of sediment in trenches of the Aztec Drinking Water Reservoir #1. Sediments were analyzed at approximately the mid-point between the top and bottom depths.

In addition to U, other co-occurring ore constituents contribute to risks to biological receptors depending on their toxicological profiles.

This is a spatially referenced water quality dataset for the Lower Columbia River in July 2016. The data were collected using the FLAMe water quality mapping platform having a YSI EXO2 multiparameter sonde, and an LGR greenhouse gas analyzer.
