Hydrogeochemical and stream sediment reconnaissance basic data for Fremont NTMS Quadrangle, Nebraska; Iowa

Technical Report · Fri Jul 31 00:00:00 EDT 1981

OSTI ID:5916728

Results of a reconnaissance geochemical survey of the Fremont Quadrangle, Nebraska; Iowa are reported. Statistical data and concentration plots are presented for 567 groundwater and 560 stream sediment samples. Groundwater data indicate that uranium concentrations above the 85th percentile (15.11 ppB) occur primarily in the western half of the quadrangle and as scattered occurrences in the north central, east central, and southern portions of the quadrangle. The majority of the groundwater samples from these areas are produced from glacial and alluvial aquifers. Stream sediment data indicate that high uranium values occur in the eastern half of the quadrangle and within major drainage systems. Sediment samples having U-FL values greater than the 85th percentile (2.55 ppM) are derived from alluvial and glacial material; whereas samples having U-NT values greater than the 85th percentile (3.40 ppM) are derived from alluvial materials. Uranium appears to be associated with resistate minerals.
