The purpose of the report is to describe the occurrence, distribution, and processes responsible for mobilization and transport of potentially toxic constituents to Lead Lake in the Stillwater WMA, and to the wetlands in the Fernley WMA. The report includes physical and chemical data from 15 surface-water and 25 ground-water sites in and near the Stillwater and Fernley WMA's. In addition, information on soil, Pleistocene lake sediment, and lake and drain bottom sediment are included. Data for the study were collected during 1987-89.
