An orientation study was conducted in the Kings Mountain, North Carolina, area in preparation for a hydrogeochemical and stream sediment reconnaissance. The study was conducted by the Savannah River Laboratory as part of the National Uranium Resource Evaluation (NURE) Program. Ninety-nine surface sites and ninety-six ground water sites were sampled over an 800-square-mile area. Uranium concentrations ranged from 2 to 156 parts per million (ppM) in sediment and from 5 to 186,000 parts per trillion (pptr) in water. Symbol plots showing areal distribution of uranium and cumulative frequency plots of uranium concentrations in ground water, stream water, and stream sediment are presented. Tabular data for each site include temperature; alkalinity; conductivity; pH; dissolved oxygen; Eh; sulfate, nitrate, and phosphate ions; ammonia; site descriptors (e.g., well depth, stream width, etc.); and analyses for 27 supplementary elements in sediment.
