Description:

Abstract:

The Spokane River flows westward into eastern Washington out of the northern end of Lake Coeur d'Alene in northern Idaho. The river and lake lie downstream of the Coeur d'Alene mining district, where over 56 million metric tonnes of metal-enriched tailings were disposed into the Coeur d'Alene River between 1886 and 1968 (Long, 1998). Geochemical analyses of riverine sediments in the Spokane River by the Washington Dept of Ecology (Johnson, 1999), the US Geological Survey (Grosbois and others, 2001; Box and others, in prep.) and an EPA contractor (URS Greiner, 2000, 2001) have indicated that Spokane River sediments are variably enriched in metals derived from those tailings. In this report we present a surficial geologic map (plates 1 through 8) of the unconsolidated deposits within and along the Spokane River in eastern Washington between the Idaho stateline and the confluence with Latah Creek about 20 miles downstream. Existing sample datasets for sediments and soils in and along the Spokane River are also located on the map and the surficial geologic unit that was sampled is noted. This work was undertaken in cooperation with the Washington Department of Ecology and the Environmental Protection Agency.

Purpose:

The data were prepared in cooperation with the Department of Ecology and the Environmental Protection Agency to aid in the interpretation of the distribution, sources, and transport processes of metal- enriched sediment in and along the Spokane River. These agencies are evaluating the relative metal enrichment in the riverine sediments due to concerns of potential health impacts to humans, waterfowl, and aquatic organisms.

Supplemental_Information:

The digital surficial geologic map of the Spokane River channel and its margins in Washington between the Idaho state line and the confluence of Latah Creek was compiled on a base of 1:12, 000 scale Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quadrangles (DOQQs) from field maps prepared on 1:3,000 scale paper printouts of the DOQQs in August and September of 2000. The units are defined by the lithologic character of the surficial sediment and by their geomorphological settings.
The dBase dataset (srsedchem.dbf) discussed here contains analytical geochemistry data and sediment sample locations projected in UTM zone 11, North American Datum of 1927 (NAD27).

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Attribute accuracy of geospatial data was verified by manual comparison of the source field data with hardcopy printouts, and on screen evaluations. 100% of tabulated data for lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) was verified between digital tables and the hardcopy sources from which they were derived.

Logical_Consistency_Report: Point data is given in UTM NAD27
Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Sample location data came from several sources, and were tested by comparing source data to how they plotted on DRGs and DOQQs. Some data point locations, from source materials, were modified after on- screen evaluations showed errors in their plotted locations. After verbal discussions and written communications with the authors of the source data, our data now reflect the most accurate geospatial data we are able to produce. These data are therefore considered to be accurate to within +/- 25 meters depending on distinctiveness of the site and/or its distance from features both on the ground and on field maps.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

This table (srsedchem.dbf) was originally compiled in MS excel 2000. It was then converted to dBase4 format and imported to ArcView 3.1 as an Event Theme.
This dBase4 table contains data from USGS-99, URS-99, URS-00, and URS-01, data sources. Point locations are presented in UTM zone 11 North American Datum of 1927 (NAD27). To verify sample site coordinates we plotted sample sites onto DRGs and/or DOQQs in ArcView 3.1. Some plotted locations did not match field descriptions or locations noted in source field notes or sketch maps. In some cases we were able to correct misfit locations by matching them to the locations noted on the original field maps. In other cases we moved misfit sample locations to an area that closely matched the description in the field notes of our source materials. These data are therefore considered to be accurate to within +/-10 meters depending on distinctiveness of the site and/or its distance from features both on the ground and on field maps.
Some of the geospatial source material was provided in geographic projection. These data had to be converted from latitude/longitude to UTM NAD27 using an ArcView script addxycoo.ave or an MS Excel Lat/Lon to UTM27 conversion table (written communication).
