Title: Augusta 1/sup 0/ x 2/sup 0/ NTMS area Georgia and South Carolina

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6275640

This report presents results of ground water, stream sediment, and stream water reconnaissance in the National Topographic Map Series (NTMS) Augusta 1/sup 0/ x 2/sup 0/ quadrangle. Stream sediment and stream water samples were collected from small streams at 775 sites for a nominal density of one site per 18 square kilometers (seven square miles) in rural areas. Ground water samples were collected at 1299 sites for a nominal density of one site per 13 square kilometers (five square miles). Neutron activation analysis (NAA) results are given for uranium and 16 other elements in sediments, and for uranium and 9 other elements in ground water and surface water. Field measurements and observations are reported for each site. Analytical data and field measurements are presented in tables and maps. Statistical summaries of data and a brief description of results are given. A generalized geologic map and a summary of the geology of the are are included. Key data are presented in page-sized hard copy. Supplementary data are on microfiche. Key data from ground water sites (Appendix A) include (1) water chemistry measuements (pH, conductivity, and alkalinity), (2) well depth, and (3) elemental analyses (U, Br, Cl, F, Mg, Mn, Na, and V). Supplementary data include site descriptors, (well age, frequency of use of well, etc.) and analytical data for Al and Dy. Key data from stream sediment sites (Appendix B) include (1) water quality measurements (pH, conductivity,and alkalinity), and (2) important elemental analyses (U, Th, Hf, Al, Ce, Fe, Mn, Na, Sc, Ti, and V). Supplementary data from stream sediment sites include sample site descriptors (stream characteristics, vegetation, etc.) and additional elemental analyses (Dy, Eu, La, Lu, Sm, and Yb).
