The regional stream survey for east central Yukon (NTS 105J) was conducted during the summer of 1989 .

This report presents analytical and statistical data for 36 elements in stream sediments from 886 sample sites, collected at 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.
