The regional stream survey for Fort Fraser, B.C. (NTS 093K) was conducted during the summer of 2002.

This report presents analytical and statistical data for 47 variables in stream sediments from 795 sample sites, collected at an average density of one sample per 13.2 km². Fluorine and loss-on-ignition in sediments, and uranium, fluoride, conductivity and pH values in waters from these sites are included in this report. In addition, 186 stream water samples were analyzed for trace and major elements.
