Purpose
|
Determine extent of Acid and Metal Flux into Intertidal Zone
|
|
|
Information to be Derived
|
Distribution of mine wastes along the shoreline; extent of sulfide oxidation
and resulting flux of acid and metals into the intertidal and subtidal zones.

Summary
|
Collected about 50 samples of fresh surface water, pore water, and seawater
(pH, alkalinity, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen analyzed in the field, IC
and ICP-MS analyses in USGS labs); collected about 30 rock (sulfides), 15
sediment (mud), and 8 precipitate samples (analyzed by ICP-MS in USGS labs).
