The regional stream survey for northeastern Yukon (parts of NTS 106B, 106C, 106E, 106F,106K and 106L) was conducted during the summer of 2001.

Field observations and analytical and statistical data for 48 elements in sediments are available from 1,296 stream sites, collected at an average density of one sample per 14.9 km². Loss-on-ignition in sediments, and data for uranium, fluoride, pH, sulphate and conductivity in waters are also available.
