Purpose: The sampling effort was undertaken as a reconnaissance and does not constitute a characterization of mine wastes. Twenty-five samples were collected from waste rock dumps, 2 from stockpiles, and 1 each from slag, tailings, mill shale, and an outcrop. All samples were analyzed for a suite of major, minor, and trace elements.

Staff from several phosphate mining companies - in particular, Rob Squires, Monty Johnson, and Alan Haslam, Agrium U.S. Inc., Larry Raymond, J.R. Simplot Company, Dan Bersanti, Rhodia, and David Farnsworth and Mike Vice, Monsanto - were very helpful, providing access, maps and historical information for several sites. Land management agency staff also provided logistical support for and input into this research effort. The Shoshone-Bannock Tribal Land Use Council granted permission for field reconnaissance and sampling at the Gay mine, and Sam Hernandez, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Fort Hall, ID, provided historical information, maps, and a tour.

In all samples analyzed, Au, Sn, and Ta are below detection, Bi and U were detected only in one sample each, and Be is at or near detection limit (2 ppm) in all but two samples. "NA" is given as the data value where no analytic result is available. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: +- 10 meters Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: Thirty-one samples collected for geochemical analysis were obtained from waste rock dumps (25), stockpiles or mill shale piles (3), tailings (1), slag (1), and outcrop (1) from 20 mines and prospects. Waste rock dump, stockpiles or mill shales, and tailings samples were collected as composite grab samples. Composite grab samples consist of rock material collected from two or more 0.3- to 0.6 m-deep holes excavated into the waste rock dump, stockpile, or tailings impoundment and combined into a single composite sample. A sample of slag was selected from a heterogeneous mix of mine wastes, processing byproducts and alluvium at a mine-plant complex, and a continuous chip channel sample was obtained from an outcrop of Meade Peak member at one inactive mine site. Approximately 2.5 to 5 kg of rock was collected at each sample locality. Samples were shipped to the laboratory of the USGS in Denver, Colorado for sample preparation. Rock samples were air-dried followed by disaggregation in a mechanical jaw crusher. A split was ground to <100 mesh (0.15 mm) in a ceramic plate grinder. A riffle splitter was used to obtain splits to ensure similarity with the whole sample. One set of splits for all samples was archived, and approximately 50-g splits of ground material was shipped to the contract laboratory for analysis. Forty major, minor, and trace elements were determined for all 31 samples by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES), also referred to as the ICP-40 package, after low-temperature (<150 o C) digestion using concentrated hydrochloric, hydrofluoric, nitric, and perchloric acids (Crock and others, 1983). Splits of all samples were also submitted to the contract laboratory for analysis of 16 major, minor, and trace elements (Al, Ba, Ca, Cr, Fe, Mg, Mn, Nb, P, K, Si, Na, Sr, Ti, Y, Zr) by ICP-AES using a lithium metaborate fusion. This technique is also referred to as the ICP-16 package. The samples were fused with lithium metaborate in a graphite crucible. In-house standards were run to monitor the proper digestion procedure, and synthetic standards were used to calibrate the instrument. Sample solutions were aspirated into the ICP through a high-solids nebulizer, and metal concentrations were measured simultaneously. Eight samples were also submitted for a 10-element ICP-AES technique, also referred to as ICP-10, for determination of Ag, As, Au, Bi, Cd, Cu, Mo, Pb, Sb, and Zn. Hydrochloric acid and hydrogen peroxide were used to solubilize metals not tightly bound in the silicate lattice of rocks. Metals are extracted as organic halides. Concentrations of the extracted metals were determined simultaneously after aspiration into a multichannel ICP instrument. This procedure is a partial digestion and results may be biased low when compared to procedures involving complete dissolution of the sample. Sample splits were also submitted for individual analysis of ten elements or compounds by specific methods. Arsenic, Sb, Se, Tl and Te analyses were performed by hydride generation-atomic absorption spectrometry. Hg was analyzed by cold vapor-atomic absorption spectrometry. Total S and total C were analyzed by combustion in an oxygen atmosphere followed by infrared measurement of evolved CO2 and SO2. Carbonate (inorganic) C was determined by coulometric titration after acidification. An interim value for CO2 is also reported. Organic C may be calculated as the difference between total and carbonate carbon.

All values that were less than (<) were converted to minus (-). Samples were processed by several methods. As a result, there was duplication of analyses for some elements. Rock samples were air dried followed by disaggregation in a mechanical jaw crusher. A split was ground to <100 mesh (0.15 mm) in a ceramic plate grinder. A riffle splitter was used to obtain splits to ensure similarity with the whole sample.

This technique, also referred to as the ICP-16 package, was used especially to provide analysis of silicon (Si) for these siliceous, phosphatic shale samples. The samples were fused with lithium metaborate in a graphite crucible. In-house standards, and synthetic standards were used to calibrate the instrument. Sample solutions were aspirated into the ICP through a high-solids nebulizer, and metal concentrations were measured simultaneously. Selenium, arsenic, and antimony analyses were accomplished using hydride generation followed by atomic absorption (AA) spectroscopy. Tellurium and thallium were determined using AA graphite furnace spectroscopy. Total sulfur and the various forms of carbon were determined using a LECO furnace followed by gas chromatographic measurement. Eight samples were also submitted for a 10- element ICP-AES technique, also referred to as ICP-10, for determination of Ag, As, Au, Bi, Cd, Cu, Mo, Pb, Sb, and Zn. Hydrochloric acidhydrogen peroxide were used to solubilize metals not tightly bound in the silicate lattice of rocks, and metals are extracted as organic halides. Concentrations of the extracted metals were determined simultaneously after aspiration into a multichannel ICP instrument.
