The regional stream survey for east-central British Columbia (east half of NTS 93G and west half of 93H) was conducted during the summer of 1984.

This report presents analytical and statistical data for 17 elements in stream sediments from X sample sites, collected at an average density of one sample per 13 km². Loss-on-ignition in sediments, and uranium, fluoride, and pH values in waters from these sites are included in this report.
