Survey Description
During the summer of 1981, a soil sampling survey was conducted by the Department (500 samples) and the company Amtec Inc. (1328 samples). The area covers 40 km 2. Samples were collected at an average density of 1 sample per 0.02 km 2. Most of the samples were taken from horizon B. In agricultural areas, samples were collected from horizons A and B (undisturbed soil); and sometimes from horizon C.
Samples were analysed for Ba, Cu, Ag, Mn, Pb, Zn (aqua-regia/atomic absorption) and F (specific electrode).
The data are published in Open File MM 83-19, Department of Energy and Resources, 1984.
