Previous OF publication(s):  
Province / Territory:  New Brunswick
Funding Source:  Federal and Provincial
Year of Collection:  1991

Survey Type:  Regional Stream Survey
# Lake sites:  0

The regional stream survey for southwestern New Brunswick (NTS 21G/2 West and 21G/3) was conducted during the summer and fall of 1991.

This report presents analytical and statistical data for 36 elements in stream sediments from 210 sample sites, collected at an average density of one sample per 3.5 km². Loss-on-ignition in sediments and uranium, fluoride, and pH values in waters from these sites are included in this report.
