“…Samples of soil and samples of stream sediment from the channels of dry streams were collected during the NURE program; details of sampling procedures are given in Ferguson and others (1977). In 1987, the USGS collected and analyzed 337 samples of stream sediment from channels of both dry and flowing streams; details of sampling procedures are given in Malcolm and Smith (1992). In order to integrate NURE geochemical data with that of the USGS and to save sample collecting costs, the USGS reanalyzed 1,240 samples that Savannah River Laboratories had collected for the NURE program.…”

Hailey 1 x20 Quadrangle and the Western Part of the Idaho Falls 10x2o Quadrangle, Idaho Cover. Looking south at the Mackay stock, southwest of Mackay, Idaho. The Eocene Mackay stock (center of photograph) is made up of granite, quartz monzonite, leucogranite porphyry, and felsic dike rocks. It is flanked by Paleozoic sedimentary rocks, including the Lower Mississippian McGowan Creek Formation and the Upper Mississippian White Knob Limestone. The Mackay mineralized area includes polymetallic skarn deposits. Photograph by Ronald G. Worl, 1987.

“…The stream-sediment samples were analyzed by an inductively coupled plasma spectrometry (ICP) method, which has a lower detection limit of 1 ppm for antimony. The panned-concentrate samples were analyzed by the semiquantita tive spectrographic method, using an analytical procedure that has a detection limit of 200 ppm Sb for this type of concentrated sample (Malcolm and Smith, 1992). To check the analytical results obtained for these eight samples, a third set of twelve panned-concentrate and stream-sediment samples was collected in 1989 and analyzed by the same methods as the samples col lected in 1988.…”

AbstractResidents and resource managers of the Wood River Valley of south-central Idaho are concerned about the effects that population growth might have on the quality of groundwater and surface water. As part of a multi-phase assessment of the groundwater resources in the study area, the U.S. Geological Survey evaluated the quality of water at 45 groundwater and 5 surface-water sites throughout the Wood River Valley during July and August 2012. Water samples were analyzed for field parameters (temperature, pH, specific conductance, dissolved oxygen, and alkalinity), major ions, boron, iron, manganese, nutrients, and Escherichia coli (E coli) and total coliform bacteria.This study was conducted to determine baseline water quality throughout the Wood River Valley, with special emphasis on nutrient concentrations. Water quality in most samples collected did not exceed U.S. Environmental Protection Agency standards for drinking water. E. coli bacteria, used as indicators of water quality, were detected in all five surface-water samples and in two groundwater samples collected. Some analytes have aesthetic-based recommended drinking water standards; one groundwater sample exceeded recommended iron concentrations. Nitrate plus nitrite concentrations varied, but tended to be higher near population centers and in agricultural areas than in tributaries and less populated areas. These higher nitrate plus nitrite concentrations were not correlated with boron concentrations or the presence of bacteria, common indicators of sources of nutrients to water. None of the samples collected exceeded drinking-water standards for nitrate or nitrite.The concentration of total dissolved solids varied considerably in the waters sampled; however a calciummagnesium-bicarbonate water type was dominant (43 out of 50 samples) in both the groundwater and surface water. Three constituents that may be influenced by anthropogenic activity (chloride, boron, and nitrate plus nitrite) ...
