The regional lake survey for south-east Labrador (NTS 3D, 13A and parts of 2M and 12P) was conducted during the summer of 1984.
This report presents analytical and statistical data for 17 elements in lake 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.
