1. Examine the attached figure and table.

Sample site 6, 9, 10 and 14 are in

uncontaminated areas. What are the background concentrations of the
following elements in surface water?
Lead

0.012

Zinc

0.010

Copper

Manganese :

0.025

0.010

2. In the attached figure, please mark in red or use a dots pattern that you
identify in the explanation) the streams reaches that exceed background
concentrations of lead. Consider the most likely source of the lead as a guide
in marking the stream reaches.
3. In the attached figure, please mark in green (or with dash pattern) the
streams reaches that exceed 0.011 ppm of zinc.
4. What relationship appears to exist between settling basin location and the
quality of water in the stream?

5. On the basis of available data, would you expect background concentrations

of the contamination in Creek A? Explain.
