The regional lake survey for west Labrador (NTS 23G and 23H) was conducted during the summers of 1978 and 1982 .

This report presents analytical and statistical data for 15 elements in lake sediments from XX XX 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.
