Data Description
  Abstract: A regional stream sediment and water survey was conducted in northern mainland Nova Scotia and Cape Breton Island in 1982-1983 by the Nova Scotia Department of Mines and Energy for a project funded by the Canada - Nova Scotia Cooperative Mineral Program. Approximately 4100 samples were collected, including standards and duplicates, at a linear spacing of one sample/2 km. Stream samples were analyzed for: Zn, Cu, Pb, Ni, Co, Ag, Mn, As, Mo, Fe, Hg, and U, while stream water samples were analyzed for F and U. There was no stream sediment field survey in 1981. Stream sediment and water samples prefixed by 1981 are a re-analysis of the Department's 1970's stream sediment sampling program (Antigonish, Cape Breton and Cobequid Highlands). Samples were re-analysed at a new linear spacing of one sample/2 km, instead of the original one sample/300 m linear spacing. The results of the 1982-1983 survey were merged with the re-analysis of the 1981 survey to yield the 1981-83 survey. This data set was previously included as part of a compilation of geochemical surveys and released as DP 004 version 1. This data set previously consisted of str813b1 and stw83b1, which were later renamed to c136nccd and c136nccw. Further information about the survey and analysis can be found in the draft documents: survey_description.wpd, elements.wb3 and fields.wb3 that are supplied with the data set.
  Purpose: The regional survey was designed to complete stream sediment and water coverage for areas not sampled during the 1970s (the Carboniferous lowlands). This information was to be used as an aid to mineral exploration and environmental studies (Rogers and Lombard, 1990). The purpose for the creation of this data set was to create a digital data set in GIS format consisting of the stream sediment and stream water geochemistry in northern mainland Nova Scotia and Cape Breton Island.

Processing Step Information
 
Processing Step (1 of 6)
  Description: Survey Description: In 1982-83, a regional stream sediment survey was conducted in northern mainland Nova Scotia and Cape Breton Island. Two orientation surveys (Meat Cove and Coxheath) were conducted during the same time period (Rogers and MacDonald, 1984a,b). Stream sediment samples from the two orientation surveys were collected at a linear spacing of one sample/350 m. Thirty-three samples were collected at Meat Cove and 38 samples were collected at Coxheath. The samples were analysed for 26 elements by AAS and ICP-AES. The regional survey was designed to provide geochemical information about stream sediments as an aid to mineral exploration and environmental studies (Rogers and Lombard, 1990). It was planned to complete stream sediment coverage for areas not sampled during the 1970s (the Carboniferous lowlands). Approximately 4100 samples were collected, including standards and duplicates, at a linear spacing of one sample/2 km. Samples were analysed for 12 elements by AAS. There was no stream sediment field survey in 1981. Stream sediment samples prefixed by 1981 are a re-analysis of the Department's 1970's stream sediment sampling program (Antigonish, Cape Breton and Cobequid highlands). Samples prefixed with 1981 were selected (from the Department's 1970's stream sediment sampling program) for re-analysis at a new linear spacing of one sample/2 km, instead of the original one sample/300 m linear spacing. The results of the 1982-1983 survey were merged with the re-analysis of the 1981 survey to yield the 1981-83 survey.

Processing Step (4 of 6)
  Description: In March 2001, the Branch, as part of the CGKN Geochemistry On-line project, began a program of creating detailed metadata about the regional geochemistry databases. The initial draft of the information compiled at this time is contained in a WordPerfect document and 2 Quattro Pro spreadsheets called: survey_description.wpd, elements.wb3 and fields.wb3.

Processing Step (5 of 6)
  Description: In early 2006, the data set name was changed from STR813B1 and STW83B1 to C136NC and the data was converted from the UTM zone 20 NAD27 projection and datum to UTM zone 20 NAD83 coordinates. No other changes were made to the data. The data set was previously included as part of a compilation of geochemical surveys and released as DP 004 version 1. In January 2006, it was broken out into its own digital product.

  Technical Prerequisite: In order to view this dataset, mapping software is required (eg. ArcView, MapInfo, AutoCad). If you do not have this software, ESRI provides a free map viewer called ArcExplorer, which you can download over the Internet. This viewer works with the E00 files and an ArcExplorer Import Utility (import71.exe) is needed to convert the E00 files into ArcInfo coverages, which can be then viewed in ArcExplorer. Problems have been reported trying to import ARC E00 files into ArcView on Windows 95 computers. Related tables do not import into ArcView. It is not a problem on UNIX, Windows 3.1 or Windows NT platforms. If you experience this problem you can use our DXF/DBF product which contains the tables in dBase format. dBase files can be imported into ArcView. This map is intended for use at the published scale of 1:#MSCALE#
