Chemical and Physical Data for Streambed Sediment-Source Fingerprinting in the Plum Creek Watershed, Brown and Outagamie Counties, Wisconsin, 2016-2018.
These datasets include physical and geochemical lab results of sediment samples collected from August 2016 to October 2018. Upland samples were collected at randomly selected sites in the watershed using the geographic information system (GIS) site-selection procedure. Passive suspended-sediment samplers were installed at three sites and sampled monthly. Streambank and streambed sediment were collected, if present at rapid geomorphic assessment (RGA) sites, at eroding banks and areas of soft, fine-grained bed sediment, respectively. Samples underwent a particle size analysis and were analyzed for a suite of trace elements. These results were used in the Sediment Source Assessment Tool (Sed_SAT) to help identify upland and stream corridor sources of suspended and stream bed sediment.
