Description:

Abstract:

The relational database contains sample site data collected and produced for the Boulder River watershed study, and an inventory and description of mine-related sites located and compiled for the study. A wide range of rock, sediment, water, and biological samples were collected, measured and analyzed, and an inventory of mine-related sites and descriptions was compiled.

Purpose:

In order to have a single integrated and standardized database, the data were all integrated spatially using a GIS, and integrated conceptually using a relational database structure. The Boulder River watershed relational database was constructed to be used as a tool for data synthesis and analysis, and as an archive of data collected during the study.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

The samples in this dataset were chemically analyzed by USGS laboratories over the period 1952-2000. Analytical techniques for data prior to 1996 have not been documented. Analytical techniques for samples collected between 1996-2000 were documented in USGS laboratory publications.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Data prior to 1996 may have been analyzed using variable techniques. Data after 1996 were analyzed using uniform documented techniques.

Completeness_Report:

This database includes data collected by USGS biologists, geologists, and hydrologists within or adjacent to the Boulder River Watershed during the period 1995 to 2000. Forty-eight analyses of bedrock samples collected during 1952-54 are also included in the database.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Sample locations were determined from 1:12000 scale Digital Orthophoto Quad maps. Locations are accurate to approximately 20 ft.

Lineage:

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

The data were generated by the analytical laboratories of the U.S. Geological Survey during 1995-2000. Data were transmitted electronically to scientists who collected the data, and then transmitted to a data-staging database where data were mapped to uniform field definitions.
