Notes	(Scientific investigations report 2004-5043);"The Picher mining district of northeastern Ottawa County, Oklahoma was the site of mining for lead and zinc ores from about 1900 until the mid-1970s.";"Those mining activities led to contamination of ground water and surface water by sulfate, iron, lead, zinc, and several other metals.;The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ), investigated the hydrology and ground-water quality in the mine workings in the mining district from 2002-03 as part of the process to aid water managers and planners in designing remediation measures that may restore the environmental quality of the district to pre-mining conditions.";"This report describes the hydrology of the mine workings and the ground-water quality in 2002-03 in the Picher mining district. Water-level altitudes were measured 3-4 times at 20 ground-water sites in the mine workings and were continuously monitored for 12 months at two sites. Surface-water elevations also were measured at nine stream sites, with discharge measurements being made at two of the sites. Ground-water samples from 16 mineshafts or airshafts completed in the mine workings in the Picher mining district were analyzed for water properties, dissolved trace elements, and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Two of the mineshafts were sampled twice--in a shallow part of the water column and in a deep part of the water column."
