Frequency Domain Electromagnetic (FDEM) Surveys Collected in Fredericktown, Missouri, June 2018

In 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 along the edge of the water. The antenna was placed on a plastic frame and held approximately 1 m above the water surface. The antenna was mounted on a raft that was towed behind a canoe. All unprocessed and processed data including the in-phase and quadrature components in parts per million, electrical conductivity (EC) in milliSiemens per meter (mS/m), and magnetic susceptibility in parts per thousand are served in this data release. In addition, the data were inverted to generate depth dependent estimates of conductivity along the profiles. An analysis of the depth of investigation indicated the FDEM reliably estimated conductivity values to depths of about 3 m below the water surface. These output data are also served in this data release.
