The regional stream survey for central New Brunswick (NTS 21J/15 East and 21J/16) was conducted during the summer of 1992 .

This report presents analytical and statistical data for 36 elements in stream sediments from 458 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.
