Samples were collected for the first time from a watercourse on the proposed project site on the north side of the Telkwa, and from sites on the Telkwa River and Goathorn Creek which were previously sampled in 1988. Samples were also collected from the Bulkley River. The objectives of the program were to provide more recent data on water chemistry in the Telkwa River and Goathom Creek, and to establish patterns of groundwater movement and groundwater quality.
