Summary

n June 2018, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) collected geophysical measurements to help evaluate the suitability of a proposed landfill site for disposing mine-waste materials in Fredericktown, MO. Frequency domain electromagnetic (FDEM) induction data were collected above the land surface along the cleared paths through the proposed disposal cell locations. The data were collected with a hand-held, multi-frequency antenna carried approximately 1 meter (m) above the land surface at walking speeds using a multi-frequency tool. All unprocessed and processed data including the in-phase and quadrature components in parts per million, electrical conductivity (EC) in milliSiemens [...]

Purpose

These geophysical data were collected to help characterize either the unconsolidated sediments, regolith, or combination of both above the bedrock and to determine the depth to the bedrock. These data can be used to help evaluate the overall suitability of the site for use as a waste-soil and sediment repository.
