Description:
Abstract:
This report presents the results of over 1100 geochemical analyses of samples of soil and sediment from the Coeur d'Alène (CdA) drainage basin in northern Idaho. The location (in 3 dimensions) and a lithological description of each sample is included with the laboratory analytical data. Methods of sample location, collection, preparation, digestion and geochemical analysis are described. Five different laboratories contributed geochemical data for this report and the quality control procedures used by each laboratory are described. Comparison of the analytical accuracy and precision of each laboratory is given by comparing analyses of standard reference materials and of splits of CdA samples.
These geochemical data are presented in seven MS Excel tables and seven dBase4 tables. The seven dBase4 files allow users to more easily import these geochemical data into a GIS. Only one of these seven tables includes geospatial data AppendixB. However, in AppendixB there is a Site ID column that will allow users to link or join the matching Site Id columns in the six associated lithologic and geochemical tables.
Due to format constraints of dBase4, the column names (headers) had to be modified to a maximum of only ten ASCII characters. As a result, some of the dBase4 column header names can be rather cryptic. To assist dBase files users, this ten digit dBase4 column name is also found directly under the more descriptive column names found in the MS Excel tables packaged with this report. Additional formatting requirements such as changing the “below detection limit” symbol (<) to a negative symbol (-) were used to accurately display the data the dBase4 format.
Purpose:
This report was prepared to document the chemical composition of sediments and soils in the Coeur d'Alène (CdA) drainage basin in northern Idaho. These compositions are of interest because of the potential for human and wildlife health impacts from high metal contents of some sediments and soils from over 100 years of mining activity.

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Beginning in 1993, samples were collected from selected sites on modern floodplains of the South Fork and its tributaries, the lowermost North Fork, the main stem of the Cd'A River, and one site on the lower St. Joe River, in north Idaho. Sample sites were plotted on 1:24,000-scale topographic maps by matching identifiable features on the map to corresponding features on the ground, and (or) by measuring or triangulating from such features. Locations are considered accurate to within about 50 ft. depending on the distinctiveness of the site and (or) its distance from features recognized on both the ground and the map (Appendix B, site-location method "a"). The latitude and longitude of each sample site was then measured from the coordinate grid of the topographic base map (in degrees, minutes, and seconds). These coordinates were arithmetically converted to decimal degrees (to 4 decimal places), and used to construct computer-generated maps of sample locations, plotted on digital topographic maps.
Reference locations on riverbanks at opposite ends of river-channel drill transects were staked and flagged. The reference locations were marked on 1:24,000-scale maps, as described above. Drill holes in the channel of the river were located by compass-and-tape measurements from the reference locations. Cross-sectional sketches, showing the measurements were made in field notebooks. Sample sites along on-shore extensions of the river transects were located by compass-and-tape measurements from the reference locations (Appendix B, site-location method "b").
Beginning in 1996, sample sites were located with the NAVSTAR Global Positioning System (GPS) Precise Positioning Service (PPS), using a PLGR receiver for Federal Civilian Users (Appendix B, site-location method "c"). Locations determined in this way are considered accurate to within about 10m (33 ft).

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Appendices B through H were compiled by manually entering hardcopy geochemistry data that was provided by each laboratory to complete the tables. All data sets (AppendixB.xls through AppendixH.xls) were created in MS Excelâ as worksheets. We then converted our sample site location table (AppendixB.xls), with its associated geospatial data, into a dBase4 file. Digital Raster Graphics (DRGs), Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quadrangles (DOQQs) and our sample location Table (AppendixB.dbf) were imported into ArcView® to verify the sample locations of our geochemical data.
Sample site locations were noted on 1:24,000 topographic maps used in the field. The latitude and longitude of each sample site was then measured from the coordinate grid of the topographic base map (in degrees, minutes, and seconds). These coordinates were arithmetically converted to decimal degrees (to 4 decimal places), and used to construct computer-generated maps of sample locations, plotted on digital topographic maps.
