The regional stream sediment and water survey for northeastern Ontario (parts of NTS 31M and 32D) was conducted during the summer of 1989.
This report presents analytical and statistical data for 44 variables in stream sediments from 200 sample sites, collected at an average density of one sample per 6.5 km². This report includes values for uranium, fluoride and pH, in stream waters.
