| Description | Water and sediment quality samples were collected from creeks draining ten selected metals mining districts and a few mines. Upstream and downstream water samples were obtained during the fall of 2002 for low-flow conditions and during the spring of 2003 for high-flow conditions. Sediment samples were collected only during low flow. The study employed the EPA ultra clean and low-level sampling and analysis methods for metals. General chemistry and field parameters were obtained concurrently with the metals and sediment samples. Four mines or districts exceeded water quality standards. Seven districts exceeded sediment quality guidelines. | ||||
