The regional lake survey for Lynn Lake - Leaf Rapids (parts of NTS 64B and 64C ) was conducted during the summers between 1983 and 1988 .
This report presents analytical data for up to 20 elements plus loss-on-ignition in lake sediments from nearly 400 sample sites, collected at an average density of one sample per 4.2 km². Surface lake waters were analyzed for up to 12 elements inlcuding uranium, fluoride, and pH values and are included in this report.
