Province / Territory:  British Columbia
Funding Source:  Federal and Provincial
Year of Collection:  2000

Survey Type:  Regional Stream Survey
# Lake sites:  0
# Stream sites:  908
Survey Area:  12990 km²
NTS Sheet(s):  104J

The regional stream survey for Dease Lake, B.C. (NTS 104J) was conducted during the summer of 2000.

This report presents analytical and statistical data for 48 elements in stream sediments from 908 sample sites, collected at an average density of one sample per 14.3 km². Loss-on-ignition in sediments, and uranium, fluoride, sulphate and pH values in waters from these sites are included in this report. In addition, 213 stream water samples were analyzed for trace and major elements.
