The regional stream survey for western Yukon (NTS 115J and 115K East Half) was conducted during the summer of 1986.

This report presents analytical and statistical data for 20 elements in stream sediments from 1,305 sample sites, collected at an average density of one sample per 13.2 km². Loss-on-ignition in sediments, and uranium, fluoride, and pH values in waters from these sites are included in this report.
