Hydrogeologic and water-quality data, Upper Sioux Indian Community, southwestern Minnesota, 1994-96

July 1, 1998

This report presents data on hydrogeology and water quality at the Upper Sioux Indian Community, located along the Minnesota River in southwestern Minnesota. Data were collected during 1994-96 by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Upper Sioux Indian Community. The data will serve as a reference to monitor potential changes in hydrogeologic and water-quality conditions at the Community. The data include: (1) river stage in Hazel Creek; (2) a geologic log at a test hole near the Community; (3) texture analysis of selected samples from auger cuttings at the test hole; (4) specific conductance, pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and hardness measurements in water samples collected from 16 ground-water sites and 5 surface-water sites; (5) cation, anion, and trace-metal concentrations in water samples from 16 ground-water sites and 5 surface-water sites; (6) fecal coliform and fecal streptococcal bacteria colony counts in water samples from 9 ground-water sites; (7) nutrient concentrations in water samples from 16 ground-water sites and 5 surface-water sites; and (8) pesticide concentrations in water samples from 6 ground-water sites,
