British Columbia Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources (BCMEMPR) Regional Geochemical Survey (RGS) 47 presents analytical and statistical data for 37 variables in stream sediments from 909 sample sites. Uranium, fluoride, sulphate and pH values in waters from these sites are also included in this report.
