A pilot survey of streams in the Southern Blue Ridge Province was conducted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency during the spring and summer of 1985 as a means of testing a proposed methodology for (1) determining the present extent and location of acidic and low-acid neutralizing capacity (ANC) streams in the United States, and (2) classifying sampled streams that are representative of important classes of streams and, therefore, should be selected for intensive study or long-term monitoring. Potentially important uses of the data in the context of environmental assessment of acidification are presented by way of example.
