The regional stream survey for northwest New Brunswick (NTS 21O/12 and 21O/13) was conducted during the summer of 1999.

This report presents analytical and statistical data for 35 elements in stream sediments from 767 sample sites, collected at an average density of one sample per 2.6 km². Loss-on-ignition in sediments, and uranium, fluoride, and pH values in waters from these sites are included in this report.
