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

    Metadata Updated: November 27, 2025

    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 above the land surface along the cleared paths through the proposed disposal cell locations. The data were collected with a hand-held, multi-frequency antenna carried approximately 1 meter (m) above the land surface at walking speeds using a multi-frequency tool. 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 land surface. These output data are also served in this data release.
