Description:
Abstract:
This data set represents the georeferenced digital data available for the Boulder watershed project.
Purpose:
To provide the available georeferenced data sets that are available for the Boulder watershed project.
Supplemental_Information:

GEOSPATIAL DATA FILES INCLUDED IN THIS DATA SET: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GEOLOGY: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- geology - Geologic units.

alter - Areas of probable Late Cretaceous alteration.

faults - Faults in the geologic coverage area. There are three types shown: certain, inferred, and concealed.

veins - Veins in the geologic coverage area. There are three types shown: chalcedony, quartz, and quartz and chalcedony.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- GEOPHYSICS: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Gp_poly: Outline of the geophysical study area.

em_magnetite.tif - Volume percent magnetite estimated from the resistivity data.

gp_low_ANP.tif - Areas that have low acid neutralizing potential.

mag_magnetite.tif - Volume percent magnetite estimated from the high- pass magnetic anolmaly map.

res56K.tif - 56kHz Resistivity map.

res7200.tif - 7,200 Hz Resistivity map.

res900.tif - 900 Hz Resistivity map.

rtp_mag.tif - Reduced-to-the-pole magnetic anomaly map. This map was created to display the near-surface and subsurface distribution of magnetic minerals in the Basin and Boulder mining districts.

rtp_mag_hipass.tif - Reduced-to-the-pole high-pass magnetic anomaly map. This map was created to display the near-surface and subsurface distribution of magnetic minerals in the Basin and Boulder mining districts.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- REMOTE SENSING: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- wetsoil - Areas of saturated soils that are associated with linear features. These data are based on photo interpretation with moderate ground truthing.

wetland - Areas that have soils with perennial or seasonal high water tables. The polygons represent an aggregation of land-type map units with areas of water tables near or at the surface that occur frequently enough to affect land management activities. These data are based on photo interpretation with moderate ground truthing.

lin_f - linear features from fracture analysis. 593 linear features were mapped using base images ranging in spatial resolution from 1 m to 30 m. The linear features are assumed to represent the spatial distribution, spatial frequency, and orientation of faults, joints, and fractures associated with structurally controlled ground-water flow.

The statistical analysis of linear feature orientation presented here is intended to provide a general view of the potential regional flow directions in the bedrock aquifer by identifying primary azimuths of mapped linear features.

To identify and map all structural features from remotely sensed data is not possible because of ground resolution limitations, vegetation cover, and alluvial or colluvial cover.

It is also not possible, in most cases, to differentiate types of linear features. That is, is the linear feature the surface expression of a fault, fracture, joint, or mineralized vein? Mapped linear features from these data sets provide a representation of the spatial distribution and orientation of bedrock fractures, and that of fractures in overlying volcanic rocks. Therefore, maps of this type should be interpreted as a statistical sample of the naturally occurring linear features in a region.

e_geo.tif - environmental geology. This image shows the relative acid neutralizing potential(ANP) of geologic units.

[IT SHOULD BE UNDERSTOOD THAT THE FOLLOWING FIVE CONTOUR MAPS REPRESENT ZONES AND THAT THEY ARE NOT INTENDED TO IDENTIFY SPECIFIC FRACTURES]

frequency.tif - The spatial frequency of mapped linear features. This map was created to identify areas of high linear feature spatial frequency. This map was produced by interpolating the linear feature data using the kriging gridding method (Surfer 7, Golden Software, Inc.).

frequency_intersect.tif - The combined spatial frequency and intersections of mapped linear features. This map was created to identify areas of greater occurrence of linear feature spatial frequency and intersections. This map was produced by interpolating the linear feature data using the kriging gridding method (Surfer 7, Golden Software, Inc.).

frequency_length.tif - The combined spatial frequency and length of mapped linear features. This map was created to identify areas of greater occurrence of linear feature spatial frequency and length. This map was produced by interpolating the linear feature data using the kriging gridding method (Surfer 7, Golden Software, Inc.).

intersect.tif - The number of intersections of mapped linear features. This map was created to identify areas of greater occurrence of linear feature intersections. This map was produced by interpolating the linear feature data using the kriging gridding method (Surfer 7, Golden Software, Inc.)

length.tif - The length of mapped linear features. Linear features were mapped from remote sensing base images that were enhanced to identify linear features. Each contour map was made using a grid cell size of 2,500 ft on each side.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- SEDIMENT: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

sed_cd - Cadmium Hazard Quotient data ribbon map.
sed_cu - Copper Hazard Quotient data ribbon map.
sed_pb - Lead Hazard Quotient data ribbon map.
sed_zn - Zinc Hazard Quotient data ribbon map.
sed_all - Cadmium + Copper + Zinc Hazard Quotient data ribbon map.
sed - Point location file for sediment samples.
WATER DATA, FILTERED (EPA AQUATIC-LIFE STANDARDS):

wat_cd - Cadmium Hazard Quotient data ribbon map. Cadmium concentrations, determined in water filtered through 0.45 micron filters, were corrected for toxicity using values for hardness calculated from measured concentrations of Ca, Mg, and Sr. These values compare favorably with measured values of alkalinity. Values where the calculated hardness was less than 25 were corrected for a value of 25 mg/L. Chronic toxicity values were calculated using the measured cadmium concentration corrected for hardness using the following equation e(0.7852(log hardness)-2.715) whereas the acute toxicity values were calculated using the measured cadmium concentration corrected for hardness using the following equation e(1.128(log hardness)-3.6867). The hazard quotient map is calculated from the chronic toxicity values.

wat_cu - Copper Hazard Quotient data ribbon map. Copper concentrations, determined in water filtered through 0.45 micron filters, were corrected for toxicity using values for hardness calculated from measured concentrations of Ca, Mg, and Sr. These values compare favorably with measured values of alkalinity. Values where the calculated hardness was less than 25 were corrected for a value of 25 mg/L. Chronic toxicity values were calculated using the measured copper concentration corrected for hardness using the following equation e(0.8545(log hardness)-1.702) whereas the acute toxicity values were calculated using the measured copper concentration corrected for hardness using the following equation e(0.9422(log hardness)-1.700). The hazard quotient map is calculated from the chronic toxicity values.

wat_zn - Zinc Hazard Quotient data ribbon map.

wat_all - Combined Cadmium + Copper + Zinc Hazard Quotient data ribbon map.

water - Point location file for water samples.
