Title: Orientation study: Jasper and Hampton Counties, South Carolina. National Uranium Resource Evaluation Program

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6815412· OSTI ID:6815412

This abbreviated data report presents results of a ground water and stream sediment orientation study in Jasper and Hampton Counties in southeastern South Carolina. Stream sediment samples were taken at 92 sites and sieved into four fractions for subsequent analysis. Surface water samples were taken at 68 of these sites. Ground water samples were collected at 108 sites. Neutron activation analysis results are given for uranium and nine other elements in ground water samples. Mass spectrometry results are given for helium in ground water samples. Field measurements and observations are reported for each site. Analytical data and field measurements are presented in tables and maps. Data for sediment samples include (1) water chemistry measurements from sites where water was available (pH, conductivity, and alkalinity), and (2) elemental analyses for sediment samples (U, Th, Hf, Al, Ce, Dy, Eu, Fe, La, Lu, Mn, Na, Sc, Sm, Ti, V, and Yb). Sample site descriptors such as stream characteristics and vegetation are also tabulated. Data for ground water samples include (1) water chemistry measurements (pH, conductivity, and alkalinity), (2) physical measurements, where applicable (water temperature, well description, and scintillometer reading), and (3) elemental analyses (U, Br, Cl, Dy, F, Mg, Mn, Na, and V). Helium analyses are given for ground water samples. Key data for surface water samples include (1) water quality measurements (pH, conductivity, and alkalinity) and (2) elemental analyses (U, Al, Br, Cl, Dy, F, Mg, Mn, Na, and V). The report is issued in draft form, without detailed technical and copy editing. This was done to make the report available to the public before the end of the National Uranium Resource Evaluation. 2 figures, 9 tables.
